Putting your physics degree to work: Career options for physics students

This workshop will focus on the set of career development tools for undergraduate physics students that have been developed as part of the American Institute of Physics Career Pathways research project.* Even though more 40{\%} of all undergraduate physics majors enter the workforce after graduation, many undergraduate physics programs do not include experiences aimed at making sure students are ready to land a job with the physics bachelor's degree. You will engage with these new resources, made just for physics students and developed with the goal of putting you ahead of the crowd when it comes to building your professional network and learning to better recognize the unique set of skills that you have acquired (or will) in completing your undergraduate physics program. You will work on developing those important ``soft skills'' and learn effective techniques for articulating your ``hard skills'' to those who may not be fully aware of all that a well-prepared physics student is capable of. Even if you do not plan to go to work immediately after graduation, you will still benefit from this unique session focused on putting your best foot forward when you when you are ready to find your first position!
