CareerLAB the Podcast | COVID-19

Welcome to Talk It Out, a CareerLAB podcast in which we investigate the big dysfunctional myths of the job and career search. In this episode, you’ll hear from seven different alums about their experience of hunting for jobs and talk about the fears and pressures they felt.    If you have any questions or topics you’d like to hear in future episodes, share your thoughts with us here.  You can schedule an appointment with a CareerLAB counselor through Handshake here. 

Ep 1: Intro

The idea of finding the “perfect” first job after graduation can feel pretty intimidating, especially if you aren’t sure of exactly what you want to do. In this episode, Kimberley Charles ‘16 explains how she tried out different types of work before landing on her first job, and how she continues exploring.   If you have any questions or topics you’d like to hear in future episodes, share your thoughts with us here.  You can schedule an appointment with a CareerLAB counselor through Handshake here. 

Ep 4: Doing What You Love?

“Networking” can sometimes seem like a dirty word, but it doesn’t have to feel transactional or schemey. In this episode, we talk to Flo Schalliol ‘13.5 about getting started by using connections you already have and then reaching out to the Brown alumni.    If you have any questions or topics you’d like to hear in future episodes, share your thoughts with us here.  You can schedule an appointment with a CareerLAB counselor through Handshake here. 

Ep 3: Alternative Networking

The timeline of the job and internship search can feel incredibly stressful. If you don’t have a job by the end of first semester, you can feel miles behind your classmates. On this episode of Talk It Out, we discuss the myths surrounding that timeline with Rachel Black ‘16, and how most Brown students will find their jobs later in the year, closer to graduation.   If you have any questions or topics you’d like to hear in future episodes, share your thoughts with us here.  You can schedule an appointment with a CareerLAB counselor through Handshake here. 

Ep 2: All in the Timing

It can be scary to express your worries and fears or ask questions about the internship, job, and career search. So on Talk It Out, we've asked Brown alumni to reflect on their experience hunting for jobs, and to talk about the fears and pressures they felt. We want to hear from you what you if what you hear sounds familiar, or if you have your own questions that you want answered by Brown alums and CareerLAB staff.
