Senior Initiative

Senior Initiative is a job readiness program in which Career Development counselors assist graduating students with navigating today’s job market and ultimately excelling in their desired careers. Through a series of customized core workshops students will learn how to effectively search and apply for jobs; market themselves to prospective employers; communicate effectively in and out of the workplace; and make lasting connections with other professionals. After the core workshops are completed, participants will be paired with a career counselor who will work independently with them to support their career development and ongoing job search..

The Senior Initiative program has two sections. Section 1 is scheduled to meet on Mondys and Wednesdays from February 1 through February 10. Section 2 is scheduled to meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from February 2 through February11. Both sections meet from 6:15pm to 7:30pm at Barnard Career Development.

Time Management

Benefit from the experience and insights of Personal Life Coach and Barnard alumna, Abby Dishi, on Friday, February 12th at lunchtime, from 12:00pm to 1:30pm. Why is time management so important? Abby will share strategy for prioritizing that results in using time wisely, rather than allowing time to use you. With the onslaught of information and myriad of opportunities we are faced with daily, learning to maximize your time is an absolute necessity.
