Friday, June 3, 2022

11:30 AM – 12:20 PM MDT

Location: Room 601/603

COVID-19 changed the international education employment landscape. As international education reboots and reimagines the future, job seekers need to equip themselves for success. This session focuses on practical strategies for employment in international education—from institutional research to representing oneself. It also includes an opportunity to ask questions of professionals from different knowledge communities, whose career trajectories include multiple positions at various institution types and who have experience on hiring committees. This session was selected as the Region VIII conference highlight from the NAFSA 2021 All-Region Summit.

Learning Objectives:

Learn to employ effective strategies for best representing oneself in the employment search process.
Use readily available resources to research institutions and positions.
Create a networking strategy for professional success.
