Another great #SAChat, this week on What I wish Grad School Taught Me. Thank you to Brian Proffer for MODing this chat.
MOD Q1 – What % of what you learned in Grad School, do you feel like you use within your current role? #SAChat
A1. I'm only in 2nd semester of grad school, but what I'm learning informs what I do. I'm definitely more aware. #sachat

A1: Prob about 20% or so. Its more the intuitive stuff than being able to pinpoint name a theory #sachat

MOD Q2 – What was the biggest “job skill” shock for you when you started your first job at an institution? #SAChat
@The_SA_Blog A2 – navigating campus culture and politics from a professional lense; instead of as a student. #SAChat

A2: communicating with and training the center staff. Age difference, was afraid of not being taken seriously. I was wrong. #SAChat

MOD Q3 – What’s a topic u spent a lot of time learning in school but in the field u found the info/topic was outdated or behind? #SAChat
A3: Advice on how to land a job/write a resume. The rules have changed and the outdated advice isn't helping anymore #sachat
— Kasandrea Sereno (@KasandreaSereno) March 10, 2017
Q3: I don't think there's anything outdated, just things that could've been explained better/focused on. (DIY marketing) #SAChat

Q4 – Where are you getting your continued learning from now/if you are out of school? #SAChat
A4: journals from @ACPA, Inside Higher Ed, google scholar, friends in the field ??
But like… I ❤️ research #SAChat— Traci Hudgin (@TraciAmanda13) March 10, 2017
A4: Continuously reading, webinar-ing, conference-ing, and connecting with others in the field whenever possible #sachat #unfinished

MOD Q5 – Knowing what you know now, what’s one thing you wish you knew before started your job? #SAChat
A5: don't romanticize being overworked. Work life balance is the most important thing. Unplug. #sachat

I wish I knew how many options there are– esp beyond RD/student activities. I wish my prog did more career exploration here. #sachat https://t.co/m83BTLlpeT

MOD: FT/FQ: As we close out the chat, what is your final thought (FT) or final question (FQ) that you have around this topic? #SAChat
FT We work in Higher Ed because we believe in the learning process… there is always more to learn! #sachat

#SAChat FQ: What is another skill, area, etc. that you are still looking to gain in your profession?
