Topic:
Managing to Mange Your Career
From the time you enter college until you retire, the choices you make will help determine the direction of your career. Mr. Paserba will explain the importance of identifying and making choices with respect to such areas as getting your career started, goal setting and career-path planning, developing technical and non-technical skills, and professional society involvement. This talk is filled with serious practical steps you can use now, and as you start your career, presented in a fun and interactive way, and includes numerous anecdotes based on the speaker’s personal experience as an engineer.
