We are excited to invite Phil Miletic from the Centre for Career Action for an overview of the career services offered to graduate students at the University of Waterloo. Come learn about the resources available to you - including a short Q&A session following the presentation.
About the Speaker
My name is Phil Miletic (he/him) and I am a career advisor for graduate students and postdocs. I’m an indoors-y individual: I snuggle with my doggo & child, read fiction, poetry, and comics, watch science fiction films/TV, play RPGs & horror games, and love listening to sad music (even on sunny days). I also love the kind of personal storytelling everyone does in their day-to-day life, whether it be on various social media platforms, autobiographical stories in books & games, or, in career documents and networking conversations. It’s a big reason why I did my PhD in English at UW, specializing in Digital Life Writing. During the PhD, I cultivated an interest in my career as an advisor because of my love of teaching students and supporting them in their educational and, at times, career journey through student-centred approaches and a whole lot of care.
As a Career Advisor for Graduate Students and Postdocs, I will support you through opaque systems, complex processes, and barriers to pursue and achieve your career goals. I will do so with care, generosity, and kindness, centering you and your needs in our conversations.
