Identity-Specific Resources
Here you will find resources to inform your job search and professional success categorized by social identity.
People inhabit multiple identities based on their ability status, gender/gender identity and/or sexuality, national origin, citizenship status, and/or race. The impact of these identities is unique to each student’s experiences, search processes, and goals and can influence both the experiences a student has as well as the laws protecting the student against discrimination.
To discuss how these issues may impact your unique job search experience,please schedule an appointmentwith Jessica Fox-Wilson.
