Career and Life Design for Experienced Professionals is a course that offers part-time students the opportunity to learn and develop essential skills for lifelong career planning. Over this eight-week, hands-on course, you will clarify your values and interests, explore opportunities, learn about professional branding, and strengthen your interview and job search strategies. Part-time students can take this course at any point during their time at Carey.
Students who completed the course showed statistically significant improvements in their ability to:
- Articulate their skills interests, and values as they relate to their targeted industry and job function
- Craft and customize their personal brand through documents, online presence, and professional interactions such as networking and interviewing
- Use organizational systems to effectively manage their networking, internship, job searches, and overall career management process
- Feel confident networking, including reaching out to industry professionals for informational interviews, attending events, and initiating conversations
- Anticipate and prepare for interview questions
”This course has been an excellent addition to my Carey courseload. While I do not consider myself to be on the job market, I still learned a lot. I came to this course looking to learn how to present myself in a more confident and professional manner, present a more coherent "story," and how to define and articulate my skills. These are definitely not skills that are prioritized in med school, residency, or when practicing medicine. I believe the course has helped me in all of these domains."
