“Know Thyself” is the motto of Hamilton College. Before you start thinking about your career plans after Hamilton, we want you to start thinking about who you are as a Hamilton student in relation to your career goals. One of the ways to do this is to discover your personal strengths, interests, personality, and how you define yourself. This workshop will help you with just that!

  • Understand the importance of skills, values, and interests in the career exploration and decision-making process.
  • Identify skills, values, and interests and develop strategies to evaluate how one’s career interests can help determine career decisions and impact their happiness.
  • Learn the importance of how one’s identity impacts career decisions and how to leverage one’s identity in the career search process.

Past topics have included education, sciences, finance, government, public health, communications, nonprofit, and business.

LinkedIn Photobooth

This event, held a few times a year, gives students the opportunity to get a professional headshot taken, learn how to start or improve your profile, and how to leverage the LinkedIn platform. Students can also use this time to ask questions of Peer Advisors and Presenters and sign up for upcoming workshops and programs. This also serves as a low-key social event, so feel free to swing by to grab some food and chat.
