Suitable for using in training meetings or team development, if you don't have the time or money to hire Sean or another speaker to kick off your fall training. Look for a video version and downloadable handouts and script soon on HigherEdCareerCoach.Com. Based on parting thoughts Sean shared with colleagues in Residence Life upon his departure in Fall 2009, the "FreeNote" gives a dozen brief lessons culled from over 15 years working in student affairs. Professionals (new and not-so-new) will appreciate the perspectives and hopefully the humor herein. If not, they may at least find something worth disagreeing with. This episode features pre-recorded content. The live show will return later in July or early August. Notice:This episode is best suited to adult listeners and contains a couple of instances of mildly coarse language.

If you’ve heard (or said) any of the following, then listen to today's show. In higher ed, it's always about what you know, not who you know.I've already got tenure (or a great job). I don't need to worry about networking.LinkedIn doesn't really do anything.I don't need another place to post my CV. IT's on my website and I can e-mail it to anyone who wants it.“I don’t know anyone who uses LinkedIn besides my students, and I don’t see what good connecting with Johnny from my [insert class name here] is going to do me any good.” Higher Ed Career Coach Sean Cook is going to tell you why all of the above are nonsense, and clue you in to what LinkedIn is really good for.

If anyone knows this, it's online marketing strategist Tommy Walker, who went from being fired over pair of pants 3 years ago to writing a magnum-opus guest post "106 Excuses That Prevent You From Ever Being Great" on Chris Brogan's web site. Brogan, known for almost never accepting guest posts, took a chance on Walker's piece, and in the process, threw any editorial guidelines he might have had out the window, posting all 7,000+ words of it. The response the post received so far has been phenomenal, with 329 retweets and 1,260 likes on Facebook as this is being written. We'll talk to Walker about his journey from fired cell phone salesman to successful online marketing strategist and guest blogger, and get tips for knocking down excuses and staying motivated.

There are many reasons one might consider doing so...feeling stuck in a career rut, a change in interests, new opportunities that arise through networking, or perceptions of "greener grass" just beyond the academy walls. But how should you go about deciding on a career outside of higher education? What do you need to consider in putting together a plan for making a successful transition? In this edition of the podcast, we'll get perspectives from Dr. Laurence Shatkin, who made a successful transition to the  corporate world after several years as an adjunct. In his current position as Senior Product Developer for JIST Publishing, Shatkin researches career topics and writes books, including "The Sequel: How to Change Your Career Without Starting Over."

Some see it as something people do in the corporate world, but not in academia. They don't always understand why they should network, or how to do it if they want to. Mary Vogl-Rauscher has taught Leadership Development and business courses at Moraine Park Technical College in Fon Du Lac, WI, for the past 15 years. The Leadership Development program offers training in leadership; human relations; budgeting; quality, legal and safety issues; problem solving and team building; and diversity and change management. MORE INFO ON PROGRAM: (http://bit.ly/q8DMpk ) Prior to Moraine Park, Mary was Director of Executive Staffing and Development at Shopko for ten years and also worked in Human Resources and Operations at Proctor and Gamble and Corporate McDonald's. With her experience in higher education, career transitions, human resources and leadership development, Mary was able to offer some great perspectives on networking, how to do it, how to get started, and stumbling blocks to avoid. This edition of the podcast was pre-recorded. The show will return live next week, with an interview of Laurence Shatkin from JIST Publishing.

Early career moves may have pointed them toward other paths than they imagined, or obstacles may keep them from where they would like to go. This could mean taking on new responsibilities, supervising and mentoring young professionals, pursuing further education or taking  different approaches to your career altogether. So what can you do when you arrive at the midpoint of your career, to successfully manage career transitions? We'll talk with Caroline Ceniza-Levine, career expert, writer and speaker, co-founder of SixFigureStart. Caroline has 16 years of experience in professional services as a management consultant and executive and corporate recruiter. She has recruited for leading companies in media, financial services, management consulting, pharmaceuticals and technology. A career columnist for CNBC.com, Vault.com, Wetfeet.com, and Forbes.com, as well as an adjunct assistant professor of Professional Development at Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs, Caroline is the co-author of "Six Steps To Job Search Success" and of the best-selling "How the Fierce Handle Fear: Secrets to Succeeding in Challenging Times" Her career advice and job market insights have been quoted on CBS, BusinessWeek, CNN Money, NBC News.com, Newsweek.

This week, I had the pleasure of co-hosting a new hashtag chat on the student affairs job search with Laura Searcher (not her real name) from theSASearch.Tumblr.Com, a site "dedicated to job searching and transitions in the field of student affairs." On the site, contributors share stories both wonderful and horrible, advice, best practices and red flags - all from both sides of the interview table. Like many happenstance encounters, I came across that blog after seeing a new their account in a stream on Twitter, and I followed and took notice. Not long after, I asked if @theSASearch would be interested in hosting a hashtag chat devoted exclusively to job-seeking in student affairs, and the new chat, #SASearch was conceptualized. We had a good showing for the first occurrence this Wednesday, from 11:30 s.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET. The hashtag chat will be held each Wednesday at the same time, and transcripts will be posted at the SA Search. On this edition of the podcast, we'll talk about Laura's site, and the new chat, and we'd love to take your questions and comments, and hear suggestions for upcoming topics. One theme that came up a few times in this week's chat was maintaining momentum in a job search that has gone on for a long time. We'll try to provide some perspectives on ways to " kick-start" your search when it's stalled. 01:01:00Sean Cooknocareer advice,Twitter,hashtag chat,job search,motivationThis week, I had the pleasure of co-hosting a new hashtag chat on the student affairs job search with Laura Searcher (not her real name) from theSASearch.Tumblhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/higheredcareercoach/2011/09/16/higher-ed-career-coach-the-adjunct-job-searchJobshttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/higheredcareercoach/2011/09/16/higher-ed-career-coach-the-adjunct-job-search/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/higheredcareercoach/2011/09/16/higher-ed-career-coach-the-adjunct-job-searchFri, 16 Sep 2011 15:00:00 GMTHigher Ed Career Coach: The Adjunct Job Search Adjunct teaching positions occupy an interesting space in the higher ed job market. As such, the advice you might get about how to identify potential opportunities, and how to make a case for your candidacy is likely to be different than advice you might get when looking for tenure-track faculty posts or administrative roles. Add in the reality that many administrators look toward adjunct roles to get teaching experience, that experienced faculty who are not in tenured positions are likely to be competing for the same jobs, and that persons with industry experience are sought after in some disciplines, and the adjunct search can be mysterious and confounding. In this week's episode,  Higher Ed Career Coach Sean Cook will talk with Sharon Thomas DeLay, the founder and president of Adjunct Solutions, LLC. She has over 15 years professional experience as it relates to education, training and human resources. Adjunct Solutionss a niche staffing agency focused on building a candidate pool of pre-qualified, experienced, and enthusiastic adjunct faculty and otjob saher education professionals. We'll discuss the nuances of the adjunct job search, and get perspectives from Sharon about how candidates can put their best foot forward in the job search, and how institutions can benefit from working with a staffing agency to fill open positions. Please join us at 11 am ET on Friday, September 16.

March is finally here, and we all know what that means. It's time for March Madness! For most Americans, “March Madness” signifies basketball games on television, betting pools with friends and colleagues, and the mind-numbing fun that comes with working through your brackets, watching early contenders fall, and ending with an overhyped contest, resulting in the emergence of one champion. When you work in higher education, “March Madness” means something different: the great kickoff of hiring season. Candidates practice their pitches, don their uniforms, and put their game faces on. But the reward that comes at the end of this contest is not a trophy, but a job. If there are any significant tournaments during the hiring season, they are the placement conferences, both regional and national. The largest of these is the Placement Exchange. TPE, as it is often abbreviated, is the “300 pound gorilla” of placement conferences for higher ed administrators. The Placement Exchange is a partnership of NASPA, ACUHO-I, NACA, NODA, ASCA, AFA, and HigherEd Jobs. This event is expected to draw over 1200 and has 463 positions already posted. Join me and special guest Nathan Victoria, Assistant Director of Educational Programs and Social Media for NASPA.

On this edition of the Higher Ed Career Coach Show, I'll be talking wiht Jeff Jackson and others about BreakDrink.Com, the site I selected to feature in my new regular series: the "Who-Do" Review. We'll talk about BreakDrink's upcoming conferences, their expanding lineup of podcasts, and their IndieGoGo Fundraising Campaign.

If you are still looking and would like a free opportunity to say who you are and what you are looking for on the air, call in. You can pitch what you are looking for, and a little bit about yourself and your experiences and interests, in exchange for sharing your elevator speech or doing a "mini-mock" interview. We'll offer feedback and solicit advice from the audience as well. If this doesn't work, host Sean Cook will ramble on about something or other related to student affairs, higher ed, and careers, until someone stops him (a co-host, guest, or a caller.)
