So many *snaps* - we need to think about career readiness as a skill to learn rather than a service to provide.

[Dr. Tayler Onion @tayonion]

Soaking up some #WednesdayWisdom this afternoon from the virtual #HandshakeAccess2022 event. Biggest takeaway:

🔑 Experiential career education needs to be at the core of curriculum at academic institutions

Career development ≠ Career Readiness

[Handshake @joinHandshake]

"In person events are typically controlled chaos...they're intimidating and outdated, while virtual events level the playing field for all."

- @vcapersworkman, Chief Legal Officer @joinHandshake in this morning's opening keynote 👏

It’s IMPOSSIBLE to not have dreams. You might not “know” what they are but I promise you they’re there. Part of the adventure of life is discovering what those dreams are! Like a scavenger hunt, life is giving you all types of clues that help you feel the pull of your dreams…

[Holly Proctor @HigherEdHolly]

The toughest part of job interviewing is the waiting one does after the fact. Just constant staring at my phone, waiting to see a certain area code pop up. 🥴

[Mel Robbins @melrobbins]

The secret to changing your life is changing the patterns that make you feel broken. Anywhere in your life where you feel frustrated, stuck, unhappy, or overwhelmed, YOU are not broken-- you just have a PATTERN of behavior that is broken.

Every student wants to be successful at something. The key is to help them find or develop that something.

Check out the Just Not Sorry app, it’s similar to a spell checker for words like this!

[Amanda Goetz @AmandaMGoetz]

Want to sound more confident?

Re-read your emails and responses and remove the sentence starters:
"I feel"
"I believe"
"I think"

I still have to do this at 35.
I call it my "boss edit"

@AlexCabal82 @MattyShow I stopped listening about 6-7 years ago. He and Billy are not funny and the production team doesn’t even attempt to correct/manage them anymore. Depends on the day/topic they’re both ignorant and old fashioned.
