The AAG invites you to join us next Friday afternoon, November 20 from 4-5pm EDT for a special webinar, entitled: Careers in Geography: A Discussion with Business, Government, and Nonprofit Sector Geographers. Please see the session description below: Geography graduates have everything it takes for success in today's workforce. Their unique mix of interdisciplinary knowledge, skills and abilities have perhaps never been more relevant. Geospatial skills are in high demand acr...oss all sectors of the workforce, from state, local and federal government, to NGOs, businesses and consulting firms large and small. But selling your skills to employers who might not understand the value of a degree in geography can be extremely challenging and frustrating. Let's face it: there just aren't many job listings out there that say "Wanted: Geographer." So where do you start? This session brings together practicing geographers showcase the dynamic career options available to geography graduates. Each panelist will talk for ~5 minutes on how they landed their first job "in the field," after which the session will be opened up to audience Q&A. Panelists: Joshua Comenetz, U.S. Census Bureau Katrina Schweikert, Blue Marble Geographics Louvere Walker-Hannon, MathWorks Tim Fullman, The Wilderness Society Trang VoPham, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Registration is free and open to all at: zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_56-wfPg7Q9SxLZ4JnhWOow For more information on the webinar series, visit: www.aag.org/careerwebinars
