31:39
A few of you mentioned that your careers involve writing: do you find yourself creatively fulfilled in doing research writing and essays? What was the process of finding a job that incorporated your interest in writing?

Thank you Nailah! Links are above :)

34:18
wow cool I didnt even know that

35:37
^ Thank you Gabriella! I hope others feel the same way

38:05
Hi everyone, please use the Q&A function so we can keep track of the questions

42:10
What types of internships, connections, and other experiences led you to where you are today?

42:16
"Foundational framework on how to think" I like that breakdown

42:29
I do too

44:00
Oh you’re all muted

44:11
I love it when I can see my identities on a panel!!

44:21
Interships

44:40
Besides a sociology PhD program lmao

46:08
I hope u guys address it it be much appreciated

46:30
^^ yes internships pls!

47:03
ill put in Q&A too

47:36
Building relationship with professional and networking.

48:07
It’s really scary to think about entering the job market with only a sociology degree.

48:17
Yeah that’s what I’m worried about too

48:33
I like the idea of job searching based on your skills rather than your degree

48:34
it's not ONLY a sociology degree...it's much more valuable than that :)

49:08
I feel like having a sociology degree makes you stand out if anything

49:37
Erik, can we follow up with you after this with some questions?

50:47
As a sociology undergrad and current Career Consultant, absolutely! The experience and skills are gold. Tailor, tailor, tailor

50:56
I agree with @ Lillian

51:10
I graduated with a Soc. degree and found three jobs after I graduated during the pandemic. I teach at a Community College, I wrk with trafficking victims and I was an Outreach coordinator for a non-profit working w/geriatric population

51:27
I dont want to to teach

51:31
Wow- that’s awesome!

51:32
wow that's amazing!

51:35
Sherri how

51:42
but thats cool good for u i mean

51:52
Internships are so helpful!

51:56
How did you come about teaching Sociology

52:05
…

52:05
Teaching at a community college sorry

52:06
Thank you for that Eddie!

52:15
Teaching, by far is my fav : )

52:23
sigh

52:25
Sherri Marquez please share more

52:33
Yes please Sherri

52:39
What non-profit organization? I want to work with older adults @ sherri

52:49
I have an English degree

53:18
Thank you Eddie! Ive been in retail all throughout school and I was worried that my experience wouldn’t be good enough compared to those with academic/volunteer/internship experience

53:20
I am in Tennessee, but you can look up your state's

53:21
when will we do Q&A

53:28
Mr. Erik Lovell would you mind sharing your email with us? I would love to email you with any questions I have

53:51
Thank you Eddie, from a 41 year old waitress returning to finish my degree

53:55
Me too Bailey! And I don’t want my retail experience to define me and what I can do in my career

53:56
You guys give us so much hope!

53:57
what are good sites to look for a job as community advocate/work? I typically try Indeed or LinkedIn. But any recommendations are welcomedAlso, any tips for people who don’t have any form of social networking connections as we venture to look for jobs?

54:03
So awesome you all can do SUCH great work with the BA!!!

54:05
this is so awesome!!

54:08
Sherri, how did you get your job with the trafficking victims?

54:49
MHA is a national organization Mental Health of America

55:17
too much

55:49
Also, look at TVAP/USCRI is a federal program- a little more Social Work but it's work so far

56:05
A great job resource for social justice jobs

56:07
https://www.idealist.org/en/

56:37
If given ample time to answer another question for panelists,would pursuing a Master’s in Public Health be a good combination with a Bachelor’s in Sociology?

57:06
Thank you for the link Phoebe! It’s very helpful!

57:27
E. I would say yes, Public Health and Soc. I'm looking into that too

57:31

I agree networking is super important! I got my first internship by asking a guest Professor if there were any volunteer opportunities at her institution because I was super interested in her research -- it eventually led to a paid internship after volunteering for course credits!

01:15:30
I’m learning Python now

01:15:35

01:15:41
Check out Pandas in Python for data analysis

01:15:43
I am just learning Python but have no experience in anything else

01:15:46
I’m using SPSS right now

01:15:52
Same! Stata is my jam but I taught myself R and used it for a project.

01:16:09
Being good at Excel is a huge plus

01:16:29
I’ve used R/R studio and it’s free and very easy to use

01:16:59
The group me isn’t working for me anymore

01:17:06
Program Evaluation and grant writing can be an option too...

01:17:07
Are people familiar with Linkin?

01:17:43
LinkedIn is a good option for job search.

01:17:50
Finally got the GroupMe to work.

01:18:11
I missed that what was the website?

01:18:11
Eddie could you put that link in the chat please!

01:18:12
@elizabethluna I am sorry I am late to this response but can you email me with more information on your non-profit? My email is brodriguez2@my.dom.edu

01:18:42
Is there any advice for making a resume?

01:19:20
This has been Awesome, THANK YOU all, stay safe

01:20:11
check your school's career building center for help w resumes

01:20:11
Thank you all so much! This was amazing and I feel proud to be a Sociology major!

01:20:20
Thank you ASA and all panelists for taking the time to advice us.

01:20:30
Congrats to the sociology graduates, and everyone: You've got this!

01:20:32
Thank you alll so so much!!! Take care :)

01:20:38
Students - I would also recommend using "informational interviewing" in your job searching. Find someone who has a job you would like to have, ask them to meet for an informational interview (or chat over email), and ask them questions about their career path and general advice. (Bonus: if you really click with someone, they could become a mentor) >>Fadilat just mentioned this too!!!!

01:20:38
I'm faculty (for 20 years). I think your webinar was FANTASTIC! I think ASA should post this for access to others than attendees!

01:20:42
Thank you!

01:20:42
