msepostdoc-list CCO Virtual Services (including WebEx presentations)

[Noerenberg, Catherine L]

Good morning, all

Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! Writing to request you to share this information with your graduate students. Please feel free to also advertise these resources to postdocs.

The Center for Career Opportunities (CCO)<https://www.cco.purdue.edu/> has converted all in-person services to virtual services! Students can schedule appointments through BoilerConnect (and plan to meet via WebEx or over the phone), or email resumes and CVs for review (send to askCCO at purdue.edu<mailto:askCCO at purdue.edu>), or attend one of our online presentations. We are working on developing more targeted content related to career planning and the job search during the global pandemic for domestic students and international students.  In the meantime, please advertise the first set of WebEx presentations:
