Excerpt from a Career Journal: Graduate School

Excerpt from a Career Journal:  Graduate School My Micro Mezzo Practice 1 Individuals, Families Group course taught by Dr. ____ has been really engaging and challenging, and I have found the role playing to be essential.  Without it I would be clueless!  No wonder you did not offer me the case management position. I simply would not have any idea what I was doing. Now that I am learning I ask and pray that you instill in me all the things I need to be a competent SW.

Hindsight moment I wish someone would have told me it’s okay to ask interviewers for feedback, no they may not always comply, but at least it will show you’re open to learn, grow, and develop your skills.

Inquire Within: Stand Up

These questions make for enriching dinner table conversation, but they can be equally illuminating if you simply ask them of yourself. I stumbled onto the idea of asking big questions because I needed them myself. They drive our growth, and we can come back to them year after year.

  1. How do you handle differences of opinion?
  2. What issues in your life do you feel most passionately about?
  3. What is your greatest fear about going out on a limb for a cause?
  4. What would you hope to gain or lose by advocating for an unpopular position? 
  5. If you had the opportunity to stand up for one social issue or social value, what would it be?
  6. What do you consider to be the most important social issue today?

Confidence

So many women lack self-confidence. You have to jump 30 more hurdles than the guy next to you to get to the same place. You have to be calculating you have to be checking all the singles in the room, you have to pick your space,  pick your time to say something, to be something. Imagine the inherent exhaustion in all of that! I would say that you need to go for things trust your instinct and remember that luck is often a product of hard work. And be outlandish; don’t worry about what people are going to think about you. Don’t worry about failing or succeeding, just go for things because you think they’re the right thing. And don’t sit back in the back seat and be driven; get in the front seat, put the key in the ignition and drive.
