Julie Winter, who worked at Northland in the Office of Career Services, has generously volunteered to provide career transition assistance for faculty and staff via drop-in open hours for one-on-one conversations. These sessions will be first come, first served. Please bring printed copies of any materials you’d like feedback on or a laptop so they can be reviewed digitally.

Here’s what you can expect Julie to cover:

• Application Materials
  • Feedback on developing a resume from scratch or updating a current resume to better highlight your skills
  • Advice on converting a CV into a resume
  • Guidance on cover letters—what to include, what to omit, and how to ensure they complement rather than repeat your resume
• Job Searching
  • Strategies for getting started and developing a shortlist of fields/positions that align with your skills
  • Tapping into your professional network to identify opportunities
  • Identifying your highest priorities to refine your job search strategy
  • Special considerations for fully-remote positions or roles requiring relocation
• Interviewing/Negotiating Offers
  • What to expect when interviewing locally
  • How to navigate biases related to being overqualified
  • Strategies for answering interview questions when transitioning into a new field
  • Determining an appropriate salary range and understanding what aspects of an offer can be negotiated

We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to receive personalized career support from Julie.
