015 - Reflections on the New Professional Experience | Nancy Chadwick-Murphy [Past President]

On this episode we talk to Past President Nancy Murphy-Chadwick. We start with Nancy's hobby of making stained glass windows and applicable lessons to the workplace and how Nancy originally wanted to be a high school band director, but was steered away because those jobs were for men. Nancy talks about her thirty years as the SHO at TWU, a job she apparently enjoyed enough to come out of retirement to serve in an interim role during a supervisory transition. We talk about how to best share award recognition during job interviews and how determine departmental culture during a job interview, and many others. Nancy has several "firsts" throughout her career that she shares. Throughout this episode, Nancy imparts plenty of practical advice for new professionals, a population she dedicated her career to helping.  Download the Reflection Guide! - If you put anything into action from the Podcast, please consider sharing it via [email protected] and you may get featured on an upcoming episode.Seeking professional advice?
