As we move into our 2nd TPE Virtual event, still in the midst of a pandemic and jobs crisis where financial and human resources are in short supply, you may be wondering why and how TPE Virtual can be of value. Aside from it being efficient, flexible, and affordable, it connects our employers to large numbers of talented, diverse, and prepared candidates. Come hear from a 2020 TPE Virtual participant about his and his institution’s personal experience with TPE Virtual—- the ups, the downs, and the challenges of the current higher education jobs landscape will be addressed.
This 15-minute personal story about motivating teams will be followed by 15-minutes of Q&A. The entire event is short, simply 30-minutes to take a break, learn, and connect with others.
Featured Story Teller: Dr. Cory Shapiro - Assistant Director of Leadership and Development, Arizona State University, University Housing
TPE 2021 will be entirely virtual. Our enhanced virtual TPE experience will best serve the needs of our employers and candidates in Spring 2021. At the same time, we understand the current landscape and the uncertainty around spring recruitment season and hiring possibilities. A completely virtual TPE will also provide for greater flexibility for employers, as well as fewer financial limitations (travel, hotel, time away from work, etc.) for both candidates and interview teams. TPE may be virtual, but we will be providing valuable opportunities to connect employers and candidates, the opportunity to conduct “face-to-face” interviews in an efficient and convenient manner, and access to more job search, career readineess, and recruitment resources than ever before.

A well-done job search is not unlike a well-done student/campus program. You wouldn’t implement a new initiative on campus without proper planning or including other people in the process. Yet, most people enter the job search and start applying without prior planning or making the right connections. It’s only October, but now is the time to start the job search planning process. This session will focus on the often-overlooked elements of the job search including: making connections to people (who, how, where, why?), strategies for researching positions and organizing a job search, reflecting on “for now” and longer-term goals, and creating an action plan around fill experience gaps over the next few months.
