Career Development Center - Part Two

This week, we continue with part two of our discussion with Gail Kilbury. The Career Development Center has three major workshops coming up this semester. Gale discusses what to expect from these workshops and tells you how to participate.

I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback on last week’s podcast – thank you. Remember, whenever you give feedback, you are entered in a drawing to win a 4GB iPod Nano to be given away to a UIS student at the end of the semester. Any sort of feedback is welcome so if you simply have a good idea of a future podcast, send it in to me. I’m also anxious for constructive criticism so if you can think of something to improve these podcasts, let me know.

One student sent along some excellent constructive criticism dealing with the length of these podcasts. When I first decided to start podcasting, my goal was to find 15 minutes worth of content each week with the understanding that I might occasionally go longer if the need arose. Unfortunately, I’ve gone long as often as not. My goal will be to get these podcasts into a shorter format so that you can listen quickly and move on, even if it means breaking longer interviews into two parts.

Next week is spring break so I’ll return in two weeks. The next few podcasts will focus on how to develop an LIS 301 degree plan so perfect for students who are in their first semester and a good review for others who might be updating their original plans.

Have a good week (and break.)
