Faculty Pedagogy Colloquium: Samira Fallah

Searching for a job is often an effort-intensive and stressful process for students making the transition from school to work. Their limited experience and smaller professional networks add to these challenges. In this presentation, I will share my research findings on how students’ mindsets, specifically their belief that job search skills can be developed through effort and learning, shape their job search behaviors. I will also discuss practical strategies and classroom interventions that educators can use to foster a growth mindset in students, helping them approach the job search process more effectively.
