Career Conversations: Career Pivots
Many career journeys are anything but linear—and that’s a strength. In this installment of our Countdown to Career Conversations series, a panel of Wagner College alumni will share how they successfully navigated major career pivots, transitioning into fields and roles far different from the ones they originally envisioned at graduation.
Students will gain insight into recognizing when it’s time for a change, how to leverage transferable skills, what it takes to enter a new industry, and how to stay adaptable in an evolving professional landscape.
This open and conversational Q&A will highlight real-world experiences, lessons learned, and the unexpected opportunities that can come from embracing a new direction.
