A job search involves more than just applying to job postings. Successful job searches require planning. You will need to complete four key activities: building a productive network, creating resumes that work for you, establishing search strategies for finding jobs, and preparing for a competitive interview. This session examines the job search as a process that integrates those four key activities to launch an effective job search.

Upcoming Webinars with NIH Office of Intramural Training and Education (OITE) - BGS Career Development

The NIH Office of Intramural Training & Education (OITE) has three upcoming events:

Wellness and Setting our intentions for 2021
January 11, 2021 from 1:00 – 3:15 PM EST
Register here: https://www.training.nih.gov/sas/_20/1994/
The OITE will hold our monthly webinar and small group discussion promoting mental health and well-being for scientists. The topic this month is Wellness and Setting our intentions for 2021. We will provide a broad definition of wellness, discuss strategies for dealing with obstacles that get in our way and explore a bit about mindfulness. Wellness is so much more than the absence of disease and to do our best work, we really do need to develop our wellness and resilience practices. The culture of science is slowly changing to acknowledge, and even embrace, concepts of stress management, resilience and wellness. This webinar is open to NIHers and folks outside the NIH, including students, fellows, staff and faculty. Coming in February – dealing with anxiety and perfectionism; for info about up-coming webinars visit https://www.training.nih.gov/new_seminar_series_mental_health_and_well-being#Schedule

Speaker: Amanda (Dumsch) Langer, OITE Career Counselor

Becoming a Resilient Scientist Series: V. Feedback Resilience
Jan 12, 2021 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1882364315939394830
We all need feedback to grow and learn but we often become defensive and are unable to learn from the feedback we receive, even if it is delivered well. In this webinar, we will talk about why receiving feedback is so difficult and explore ways to stay calm and engaged when receiving feedback. We will also talk about giving feedback in a calm and assertive way so that our voice can be heard. Speaker: Sharon Milgram, PhD, Director, OITE
