Discussion: 1:00-2:00 pm Pacific Time (4:00-5:00 pm Eastern Time)
Preparing to enter the work force after completing a graduate degree, and building a fulfilling and successful career outside of academia can be daunting and full of uncertainty. There is no ‘one path fits all’ that will lead to your career goals, but one of the best ways to prepare is to learn from others’ experiences.
If you are interested in pursuing a career working for a federal agency, join us on May 22nd from 2:30-4:00 EST/11:30-1:00 PST to meet federal scientists working around the United States and learn about their career paths, work challenges and benefits, ‘a day in their life,’ and advice they wish they would have known as early career scientists.
Individual, prerecorded interviews with each of the 15 panelists will be played for the first hour of the forum, and interviews will be available to watch on this webpage a week before the forum occurs.
A “watch party” of prerecorded interviews with 13 federal scientists will start at 11:30 a.m. PT (2:30 pm ET), with the full panel discussion beginning at 1 pm PT (4 pm ET). After a brief interview with federal career coach, Lilly Whiteman, the panelists will spend the second hour of the forum in discussion with and answering questions from the attendees.
Recorded interviews are available for asynchronous viewing online. Return here or visit our YouTube Channel for the link.
Bring your questions and join in the lively discussion. If you have any questions before the event, please contact Paige Kleindl at pklei007@fiu.edu.
Panelist interviews have been pre-recorded to allow the discussion to focus on audience questions. Please view the prerecorded interviews beforehand or join us for the “watch party” at 11:30 a.m. PT (2:30 pm ET).
