Show notes

In episode 13 of the HigherEdJobs Podcast, Kelly and Andy talk about performance appraisals with Christopher Lee* and why they are outdated.

Do performance appraisals accomplish what they set out to do? Christopher Lee’s short answer, “Nope.”

Performance appraisals are often demotivating and negative. So how can job seekers find out if an office or department still uses performance appraisals? Lee advises that job seekers do their due diligence in finding out if the office they are seeking to work in has sound leadership, “interview the organization, and the leader, as they're interviewing you.”

E12: Conversations with a Rock Star Turned Professor -- Part II Aug 15, 2022

Show notes

In the season two premier of the HigherEdJobs Podcast, Martin Atkins shares his advice for job seekers and life seekers. Martin stresses that the worst time to look for a job is when you are under any kind of duress. Andy and Martin discuss how job searches can shift in scope and emotional duress depending on the circumstances. Finding a job because you are interested in expanding your skillset versus finding a job because you HAVE to, are two very different job searches.

How can we avoid the ‘HAVE to find a job' job search? Seek life experiences.

Martin adds ‘Someday We’ll Linger in the Sun’ to the HigherEdJobs Spotify Playlist.
