Your Career Path at Pacific
Vision Statement
The Staff Advisory Council, in collaboration with the Department of Human Resources, developed a Career Path website to help staff members manage their career process, development, and growth. It is our hope that staff members will use these tools to increase the enthusiasm and satisfaction they experience in their current positions as well as the knowledge, skills, and abilities that will aid them in their future job movement.
All Pacific employees are invited to use these resources to manage their personal and career development. This is an active and evolving program. We encourage employee input and recommendations on methods and resources for further enhancements.
Explore the following five links to discover articles, handouts, quizzes, and web pages that will help you boost your job satisfaction and potential through enhancement of your knowledge, skills and abilities.
- How do I decide if I am career fit?
- How do I decide in which direction to move in my job/career at Pacific?
- How do I best prepare to advance in my job/career at Pacific?
- How do I develop my professional network at Pacific?
- How do I maintain an effective balance between my work life and my personal life?
EVENTS

President Pamela Eibeck will deliver the opening keynote message; she’ll share her career path, work/life balance challenges and her vision for Pacific staff.
There will be a variety of sessions on topics such as starting a career development dialogue, discovering your strengths and speed networking; attend a panel discussion about developing your career at Pacific; or take a Myers Briggs assessment.
This year we’re pleased to announce that we’ve been able to retain the services of Kathleen Sexton of Kairos Learning. Kathleen has over 15 years of experience in the area of career development for staff at higher education institutions. She developed the very successful development program for staff at Stanford called COMPASS. Kathleen will be facilitating the sessions on Starting a Career Development Dialogue and Discovering Your Strengths & Speed Networking.
All sessions are free and open to all staff. Please RSVP using the Staff Training Online Registration system located in InsidePacific. This will provide us with an approximate number of attendees. Registration required for the Myers Briggs assessment session as it has limited seating. The registration deadline for this session is October 30, 2009.
