> Many career avenues are open to young scientists and engineers in the current work environment.  MIT students and post docs are intrigued to consider their expanding opportunities, but may not know what these options are or how to pursue them.  How do you transition from grad school or postdoctoral work to that next bold step in your career?

> Women in STEM Panel
> Tuesday, March 17, 3:00-4:30pm
> In Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), women continue to be underrepresented despite increased efforts to expose women and girls to the STEM field. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Report, Women in STEM: A Gender Gap to Innovation, women represent only about 25% of workers in STEM and earn 14% less than what men in the field earn. In addition, women experience unique challenges throughout their careers that differ from their male counterparts, such as lack of mentorship and work/family life balance, etc. Come learn from our panelist how they have succeeded in their respective disciplines, what challenges they faced along the way, and what special issues you will need to consider as a woman in STEM.

> The Art of Behavioral Interviewing
> Wednesday, March 18, 2:00-3:30pm      
> While your technical skills will get you the interview, it is your behavioral attributes that will get you the job.  This session will discuss preparation and strategies for a successful interview.  In addition, sample behavioral interview questions will be provided along with tips on how to answer these tough questions. This workshop is open to undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs and alumni.  Advanced registration requested via CareerBridge:https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student
