Taking Control of Your Career in Uncertain Times: 60 Minutes with an Expert Career Coach

Friday, June 26, 2020 at 12-1 p.m. (EDT) via Zoom. To participate, please register online.

Learn from expert career coach, Elizabeth Hofmeister, how to take control of your career in uncertain times. Whether you have lost your job, recently graduated and are looking for employment, or are employed but have been searching for professional fulfillment that has eluded you, all three scenarios can be stressful, unsettling, confusing, and for some, debilitating. But if we can exert some control - and we can get clarity about what is important to us-- then a period of transition can be extraordinarily grounding and productive.

Questions? Please contact the Law Alumni Office at law-alumni@buffalo.edu or 716-645-3707.
