On Monday, I shared a conversation I had with Anne Converse Willkomm, Department Head of Graduate Studies and Assistant Clinical Professor at Drexel University’s Goodwin College of Professional Studies. We talked about when it was right for you to go back to school. While going back to college isn’t right for everyone, for those that it is right for now face another question: “I know going back to school is the right choice for me, but how do I pick the right place/program?” This can seem very daunting since there are hundreds or even thousands of choices out there. So as Anne and I got to this part of the conversation on Monday, I knew we had to bring her back to talk about choosing the right college. As you scan through the possibilities of programs that you could enroll in, you can probably cut out several ones easily (based on things like physical location, availability of online courses, and cost). But you’re still left with at least a handful of options. As you look into each program, you likely do most of your research online - reading through the pages websites. You may reach out and contact someone at the university. Being a Department Head, Anne shares that most applicants actually talk to the wrong people when applying, and they don’t ask the right questions. People usually contact someone in admissions, but the best person to talk to is the director of the program you’re looking into - they will provide the best answers. Admissions can’t get deep enough into giving you the answers to the questions you should be asking, like:

So, if you if going back to school is the right choice for you, this episode is perfect for you.

What’s the thing that very few people are asking right now that almost everyone is missing? Instead of saying “should I be looking right now,” what if you flipped it on it’s head and said: “How do I take this opportunity where very few people are taking action on their job search and use this time to make a leap into something bigger?” That’s a question that’s worth some serious consideration. This is also one of the questions that Scott dives into with Eleanor on the podcast today. I want to invite you to join us for another live webinar-style training, where Scott is going to answer your questions again. We’re going to try to bring 1 or 2 people on live, like we did with Diane and Eleanor. To sign up for the next training, go to happentoyourcareer.com/webinar-weekly. After you register to attend, you’ll be able to submit your question. Even if you can’t attend live, you can still submit your question. By the way, we have temporarily re-opened Career Change Bootcamp in light of everything going on with the virus and quarantine situations. We don’t usually re-open CCB so soon after closing, but these are unusual times, and we want to provide you with the best help we can. If you’re interested in CCB, send Scott an email, scott@happentoyourcareer.com, with “CCB Conversation” in the subject line, and he’ll connect you with our team to figure out the very best way that we can help you.

Everyone bases their identity on something. Some base it on their role as a spouse, parent, child, or other relationship. Many people base their identity on what they do for a living. But then, something happens to change your role or relationship, and it causes confusion about your identity. Dave Stachowiak joins us to talk about why basing your identity on what you do can actually get in the way of identifying what you REALLY want to do in the world.
