from HigherEdJobs Podcast · host HigherEdJobs

In this episode, Leah Jackson, assistant director of editorial strategy at HigherEdJobs, joins the podcast to discuss keeping momentum after being hired. Drawing from her articles “4 Ways to Prepare for Your New Job” and “Starting a New Job? Consider These Strategies for Success,” the conversation focuses on how higher education professionals can prepare for a new role and carry that energy into the early days on the job, from onboarding basics and understanding campus culture to building relationships, staying organized, and setting realistic goals for the first weeks and months. The discussion also references the article "How to Introduce Yourself" by HigherEdJobs contributor Justin Zackal.
