Navigating a Dual Career Search: The Administrator’s Perspective
Are you and/or your partner searching for new career opportunities? Learn directly from university administrators to demystify the dual career search.
Our presenters, who represent a range of institution types, describe the dual career hiring process on their campuses, provide helpful strategies to job seekers, and answer questions from dual career couples. Participants will come away from this webinar with a better understanding of the policies and practices that help—or hinder—a dual career search and how those policies and practices vary by institution type, campus culture, and department.
