Life in the Age of the App: Move Beyond Burnout & Create a Career You Love featuring Jenny Blake
Thursday, Nov 6, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Speaker: Jenny Blake, Founder, Author, Business Coach, and International Speaker, Jenny Blake Enterprises
You're motivated and ready to make an impact on the world. But at times, the pressure of where you're heading can feel unrelenting. When given the choice, should you put in another hour studying, try to land a killer internship, or catch up on sleep? The answer isn't always clear; the pressure to succeed can weigh heavily, and you fear making a "wrong" move. In this workshop by author and Millennial expert, Jenny Blake, you'll learn a new approach to career-building that will allow to you create a customizable, sustainable, dynamic career that you love. Rather than thinking of your education and career linearly, like a ladder, you'll learn how to embrace life as a smart phone: fully customizable to your skills and interests. This event is open to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni. Advanced registration requested via CareerBridge:https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student

This session presented by Tamara Menghi will allow participants to take the Clifton StrengthsFinder and find out their top five talent themes and how to capitalize on this knowledge.
