With Fall semester almost over, reality is starting to set in for many students who need to be thinking about their careers sooner rather than later. For some students, they\u2019re confident with their transition, while others still may be questioning how to translate their degrees into a great career. What students often don\u2019t realize, is that career paths are rarely linear \u2014 in fact, most professionals will completely change careers between six and eight times during their working lives.<\/p>\n
If you could have two to five minutes to share your path with a student, what would you say? How would you describe your education, the work that you currently do, and how you got there?<\/p>\n
Developed by two university researchers, workstory.net is a way to collect stories about career paths and interesting fields to share with students\/professionals looking for inspiration. As the site explains, \u201cthe right [story] at the right time might be all that is needed to set you on a path to work that you love.\u201d<\/p>\n
With just over 20 videos, the site is still in its infancy, but at Brock we see a unique opportunity to connect our alumni from far and wide with students and new professionals looking for some guidance. Each video can be tagged by occupation category, but can also include additional tags (of which one could be Brock University). Our vision: promote workstory.net to Brock students, and enable them to hear alumni stories of success.<\/p>\n
