Events
University of Maryland students have access to LinkedIn learning courses for FREE. This webinar covers how to create a strong profile on LinkedIn, how LinkedIn Learning can help your career search, and a demo of our features.
This interactive Zoom workshop will enable you to get started (or re-energize) your efforts to prepare for a career you love! PhDs from Maryland pursue deeply satisfying careers in academia, private industry, government, non-profits and entrepreneurial ventures. During the workshop you will do two self-assessment activities to identify your transferable skills and possible career paths. The session will highlight available resources you can use to figure out what you want to do with your PhD.
Identify and share your academic, professional, and career goals. Support each other in creating an action plan to achieve these SMART goals and to keep each other accountable.
PhD Career Navigator Meetups are a dedicated time and space for PhD students across campus to gather and support each other in their career and professional development. Drop in to get your career and job search questions answered by fellow doctoral students. No question is too small, too big, or off-limits. We meet weekly on Fridays 1:00-2:00pm via Zoom.
Is looking for internships or a full-time position making you anxious or stressed? International students face additional stress during the job search process due to visa regulations, different interviewing practices, and sometimes lack of work history in the U.S. This workshop will focus on strategies that students can use to manage stress, and provide tools to keep students focused and empowered. Be sure to sign up for this Virtual Event on iTERP!

How do you decide whether or not to accept a position? How should you negotiate salary and other terms of employment? Learn how to compare offers and professionally accept or decline.
