Did you make it out to the UWindsor/St. Clair College Job Fair this Wednesday? It’s never too early or too late to start thinking about your career. Here’s something you don’t hear too often working as student teachers: it’s okay to think about a career outside of academia, too.

Enter grad launch, a blog developed specifically to help graduate students start their job search, regardless of their field. Marilyn Rose, the site’s creator and curator, describes grad launch as follows:

Weekly posts offer insights on how graduate students acquire career-enhancing experience while pursuing their degrees. We’ll talk about identifying and capitalizing on the knowledge and transferable skills that for every graduate student can be translated into job-readiness. And, grad launch will link you to information and resources you likely didn’t know about or, as a busy graduate student, haven’t the time to search out.

So, what kind of information can you expect? Rose writes about how to convert a CV to a resume, words to use/avoid in resumes, and identifying transferable skills.
