Looking for Help for Your Career?

You’ve come to the right place.

I’m Carol Ross.  Since 2003, I’ve been a career coach, serving hundreds of clients. Before that, I was a Bell Labs engineer.

Each month, I hold a virtual event that will help you move forward in your career. Whether it’s a Campfire Conversation where I’ll answer your most pressing career questions (and maybe do a bit of coaching), or an interview with an expert, or an hour of speed networking over webcam, these events will provide not just knowledge, but tools and connections to others.  Our biggest dreams are achieved by moving into action, with others.

Marci for web.jpg

Until recently, most Americans equated the end of a successful career with the beginning of retirement. No more. Now they want to stay in the game (or better, change the game). Marci Alboher  is a leading authority on the changing face of work and a Vice President at Encore.org, a nonprofit making it easier for millions of people to pursue second acts for the greater good. Learn to strike a balance between doing good and doing well–in a way that will sustain you through this new stage of life.

Join me on Wednesday, July 10th at 6:30PM EST when I interview Marci about her new book, The Encore Career Handbook: How to Make a Living and a Difference in the Second Half of Life.

This event is being sponsored by the Northwestern Alumni Association.  Alumni and friends (that means you!) can register here.
