Alumni Podcast: What the Job?


Listen in as host Matt Rea, '13 PhD, talks with UAlberta alumni about their widely varied career paths - from weird jobs to bad jobs, from unemployment to career pivots. Learn about the indirect nature of careers, and how to spin job challenges into career lessons you can leverage on your own professional journey. And here's a bonus: WTJ mini-episodes offer practical tips and advice from the UAlberta Career Centre on everything from how to nail an interview to how to set up your LinkedIn profile.
