Good morning LINC 7,

This morning, we're going to be continuing our discussion of the workplace and talk, in particular, about careers.  First, we're going practice using the collocations from Monday afternoon.  Then, we will listen a TED Talk by Larry Smith from the University of Waterloo entitled "Why you will fail to have a great career?"

We will discuss the difference between a passion and an interest.  Finally, you will write about your ideal job in the lab.

Here are some additional links that you may find interesting on the topic of networking and using social media in your resume and job search:
