| Maximizing career satisfaction and influence and return on investment in one's education depend on competencies not covered during scientific training. Targeted at the needs of early career statisticians, this course introduces key career skill areas, supplementing what is obtainable from institutional career advising programs and mentors. The course follows a highly interactive format, with brief presentations alternating with opportunities for reflection, work in pairs, small group discussion and skills practice. Continuing learning is facilitated with handouts and suggestions for making the most of the course experiences (including an outline for constructing a self-presentation document from which their accomplishments shine). The course is designed to help participants: *Examine the range of career development competencies upon which continuing professional growth and influence depends *Increase their organizational savvy and manage tensions between their career development needs and organizational realities *Make the most of key relationships, especially with bosses and mentors *Prioritize and develop decision criteria for agreeing to new responsibilities *Speak effectively about their goals and accomplishments *Expand their "comfort zones" in introducing themselves *Network more comfortably and strategically *Expand connections with role models, learning partners and potential mentors *Understand continuing gender-related challenges in developing career potentials *Build resilience and avoid typical career derailers | |||
