Designing Your Life
Monday, October 23rd, 10:00am – 11:30am, E19-202
Careers are ill-defined, "wicked" problems. Learn how proven design thinking mindsets like curiosity, bias to action, reframing, and collaboration can help you help you design and build your career in the face of all the unknowns. Practice and take home valuable tools and questions to explore and develop a career that works foryou. Designing Your Life<http://designingyour.life/> (DYL) is a career exploration approach pioneered by Stanford design faculty, recently publicized in the best-selling book<https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Your-Life-Well-Lived-Joyful/dp/1101875321/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1503069924&sr=1-1&keywords=designing+your+life> by professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. This workshop will be led by MIT staff, who attended the first-ever DYL training at Stanford. This specific workshop is for PhD students. If you are interested in having a similar workshop with your department or student group, please email Jake Livengood at livngood at mit.edu<mailto:livngood at mit.edu>.

Evaluating, Negotiating and Accepting Job Offers
Wednesday, October 25th, 7:15pm – 8:15pm, E19-202
Sometimes making a decision and committing to an internship or job opportunity is hard. How can you be sure the offer is the best one for you? How can you convey an interest in the position and ask for more time? How do you balance multiple interview processes and offer deadlines that do no align?
In this session we will cover:
- Recruiting expectations for students and employers.
- How to effectively communicate with employers if you have questions or need more time to make a decision. - Evaluating offers and the decision making process.
- Making a commitment and what is expected.

Participants are encouraged to send their specific questions in advance to Tamara Menghi<mailto:trmenghi at mit.edu?subject=Questions%20for%20Evaluating,%20Negotiating%20and%20Accepting%20Job%20Offers%20Workshop> to be incorporated in this workshop content and activities.
