Description
|
The University of Pittsburgh
began paying serious attention to personal skills thirteen
years ago, when Michael Zigmond designed a series of
"survival skills" seminars. Today, graduate students are
offered one full-day workshop per month on topics including
writing for the public, giving a speech, designing CVs and
resumes, handling interviews, getting and keeping a job,
negotiating, getting funded, managing a career, women and
underrepresented minorities, and ethical issues. Relevant
ethical issues include the content of CVs, job balancing for
dual-career couples, and intellectual property issues.
Faculty are invited to participate by leading
discussions.
