Fannie Mitchell Expert in Residence: From Double Major to Google's DoubleClick Division: Embracing Unexpected Opportunities w/ Jennifer Petoff (for undergrads and master's students) - Thu, November 5, 2009
Thu, November 5, 2009 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM Flowers 201. **This workshop is for undergraduate and master's students.** When Jennifer Petoff graduated from the University of Rochester with a double degree in Chemistry and Psychology, she had no inkling that she would one day be training publishers to use online ad serving tools. A graduate degree in the sciences combined with a variety of volunteer experiences led her down a non-traditional path. This talk will discuss the author's evolution from a PhD in polymer chemistry and a career at the lab bench to a role as a technical trainer at Google. The importance of volunteer opportunities, a focus on transferable skills, and a broad professional network to break into a new career area will be emphasized. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED! Visit Duke eRecruiting to register for this event and to sign-up for an individual advising appointment with Ms. Petoff on Friday, Nov. 6th.
