EP170 Building Career Momentum: Unlocking Your Professional Potential

In this special episode we hear from the GPH Student Affairs team about the extensive career resources available to students. Angelica Tirro, Miguel Silva, and Erica Garnes introduce the "GPH career toolkit," a comprehensive set of programs and resources designed to support students from day one, or even before. Discover their unique partnership with the NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development, which offers on-site and online career coaching for life. The team also highlights key initiatives like "Career Conversations" with alumni from different industry sectors, and "Learn Togethers" where GPH alumni share their career journeys and offer guidance to current students. They also discuss the "Employer Spotlights" that connect students with employers actively seeking GPH talent, and the ever popular annual Career Expo. The expo is a low-pressure environment for networking with dozens of employers and research labs, and students can get a free headshot to polish their LinkedIn profile. Finally, the team shares valuable advice for students, emphasizing the importance of stepping out of their comfort zone, finding work-life balance, and giving themselves grace on their journey. This episode is a powerful guide to maximizing your GPH experience and using the resources available to prepare for a successful and fulfilling career.
