Employer & Alumni Career Panel: Advancing your career through
year-in-service programs
|
|
Tuesday, October 20
5:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Join the Waltham Group and recruiters from nationally recognized service programs and Brandeis alumni to discuss how participating in year-in-service programs not only help support the communities they serve but also advance the careers and personal growth of the volunteers through professional development opportunities and expansive alumni networks. Learn more about national and regional service programs from AmeriCorps, VISTA, and everything in between. Connect with employers and alumni and ask questions about life after Brandeis, how to stand out as a candidate for a job in any field or industry, what it means to be a leader and change agent in your community, how to continue your commitment to service even after graduation, and anything else!
Sponsored by: Hiatt Career Center, Waltham Group & Department of Community Service. To attend, please register on Handshake. Questions? Contact Colby Sim at csim@brandeis.edu.

Brandeis University Government & Public Service Career Fair |
|
Wednesday, October 21
9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
We're ditching large function rooms for small and personal virtual spaces for you to meet, learn, and network with employers and meet representatives from graduate school programs!
Though most organizations (like City Year, Massachusetts Trial Court, UNICEF, U.S. Department of State, and Zeta Charter Schools) will be looking to recruit candidates for full-time and internship positions at this event, you'll also have the opportunity to grow your network, ask questions and practice meeting employers in a virtual setting. Have questions about graduate schools in this area of study? Representatives will be on-hand to walk you through the process.
You should attend the Government + Public Service Fair to...
- Learn exclusive insights about companies, roles, the hiring process and what makes a good candidate.
- Make meaningful connections with employers and alumni in the field.
- Explore job and internship openings (this is your opportunity to ask specific questions about the role you hope to apply to!).
- Practice your pitch and work out any nerves or kinks with what you want to say. Employers know that this is an event for you to learn, inquire and practice; so don't worry about perfection!

Dementia Friends Training |

On October 22nd at 6:30pm, we will be hosting a Dementia Friends training. Dementia Friends is a global movement that is changing the way people think, act, and talk about dementia. By helping everyone in a community understand what dementia is and how it affects people, each of us can make a difference for people touched by dementia.
We invite you to participate in an interactive learning session led by Brandeis student Aishwarya Khanna, and Beth Soltzberg, lead of Dementia Friends Massachusetts. You will learn five key messages about dementia, and at the end of the session, you will be counted as a Dementia Friend. Register here.
