This may be for you
As part of UMBC’s efforts to assist with a smooth fall return to campus for staff, faculty, and graduate assistants (GAs) we have partnered with Care@Work to provide extended options for childcare, eldercare, petcare, and a host of other services. 
Care@Work connects families and caregivers. It offers a flexible platform — available on mobile, desktop, and in the iPhone and Android app stores. Care@Work provides eligible employees (regular staff and faculty, Contingent II staff, and GAs) with tools to help make informed hiring decisions whenever and wherever care needs arise. With UMBC’s free Premium Membership, eligible staff, faculty, and GAs can post a caregiver request and browse through active caregivers on the site, use the Safety Center, receive newsletters filled with tips and advice, and access the wealth of care-related content in the online community. Eligible employees and GAs also have access to view full profiles and reviews, contact caregivers, purchase background checks, subsidized backup care (tiered copay schedule), and tuition discounts at participating childcare centers.
We encourage eligible employees and GAs to visit the UMBC Care at Work website to review program enrollment and available resources. Questions regarding the Care@Work enrollment process should be directed to the HR Benefits Staff at hrbenefits@umbc.edu.

Online
You just graduated from college. Or maybe you’re graduating soon. Now you need to connect with employers, tell your story, differentiate yourself, and land on a team doing meaningful work. 

One of the most important next steps is to build a personal website.

No matter your degree or industry, a personal website is the landing place for your story and past work. It’s a step up from LinkedIn and is a way to set you apart from other applicants. Most importantly, it’s fantastic practice for writing and sharing your story with potential employers and future collaborators.

In the words of one of the leaders of Creative Direction at Lyft, “I never hire anyone without looking at their website.”

We’ll use the time together to discuss: 

  • personal branding
  • how to write your content
  • what to include (and not include)
  • the best tools to build your site with no coding skills required

This free session will be held on Wednesday, June 30th at 2pm PDT / 4pm CDT. Reserve your spot here: https://explab.sas.upenn.edu/office-hours. 

We’re looking forward to meeting you!

This is not a UMBC sponsored event.
