Mentor Support Event – Unlock the Hidden Career Value in Your Mentoring Experience July 23
If you’ve ever mentored an undergrad, trained a new lab member, explained a technique, helped someone through a project roadblock, or managed expectations in group work, then you’ve already built skills that employers really value. But most graduate students don’t realize how to translate those mentoring experiences into strong resume bullets or interview answers.
GSFLC Career Development is co-hosting a 1-hour virtual workshop with Dr. Bryan Wakefield (Director of Undergraduate Research) and Elizabeth Hart (Associate Director for Career Services) to help you do exactly that.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:
-
Identify the industry‑aligned skills you’re already using while mentoring
-
Reframe academic experiences for roles outside academia
-
Describe your mentoring experience clearly and confidently
-
Use specific language that hiring teams understand
You’ll also see live examples from a few student volunteers so you can watch the “translation” process in real time. If you’d like to be a part of the live demo, please fill out this interest form here: https://forms.gle/oRYihB5xwFkSt7wR6
