Caveats…
• Advice, tips and perspective will be shared, however please be aware:
– EVERY SITUATION IS UNIQUE!!!
– Each institution’s ability to accommodate Dual Career partners varies (from institution to institution, and even within institutions)
– Each career is distinct
• Do your research in advance
• Support is not the same as placement

How to Find Out
Look for information in the job posting/advertisements or on faculty affairs websites that has language like:
• “X university is responsive to the needs of dual career couples…”
• Dedicated links to webpages
![Page 8: Dual Career Workshop · 2018. 7. 30. · The Need Source: Schienbinger, L., Davis-Henerson, A., & Gilmartin, S.K. (2008).

Reasonable Expectations
Responsibility: It is the individual’s career to manage Even with support, the partner will need have to do significant job
hunting work on their own
No Guarantees: Assistance is not placement Most institutions will say something like this…“The Dual Career Assistance
Program does not create an entitlement to employment nor does it guarantee a position.”
Potential Barriers to be aware of: Size of institution being pursued and the geographic area you choose may
have impact in potential offerings and opportunities for partners
“Assistance will be extremely hampered if a client does not have authorization to work in the United States.” Things that impact ability to secure a visa:
Immigration status of the candidate being recruited
Marital status of the partner
Degree attainment of the partner
Types of jobs the partner is qualified for and applying to

Timing…When to Indicate you Might Need Support
There is no hard and fast rule on this…this is advice only, each situation is different
The more formalized and advertised the Dual Career program, the earlier you can probably make a potential employer aware of your needs.
Being invited to formally interview for the role, may be a good time to approach search committee chair (or appropriate other resource with your needs)
Putting off letting your potential employer know to the very end of the process may be challenging to be able to accommodate your needs. (Source: Vaillancourt)

Strategies for Managing Your Career Search (continued)
Responding Directly to Posted Openings
• Identify and research employers (their website, HERC, Google, local publications, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, etc.)
• Look for posted openings
– Apply using the stated method by the organization, DO NOT TRY TO BYPASS THEIR PROCESS
– Include ALL required documents (CV/resume, cover letter, writing samples, evaluations, syllabi, etc.)
• In your cover letter
– Ensure it is tailored to the job you are applying for
– Describe experience in terms of what they need specifically-use the job posting for reference
– Don’t just restate what is in your CV/resume, summarize and customize

Strategies for Managing Your Career Search (continued)
Direct Contact with Employers (where there are not current advertised openings that meet your career interests/qualifications)
• Identify and research employers (their website, HERC, Google, local publications, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, HigherEd jobs, etc.)
• Sign-up for job alerts (if available)
– You will be then notified when positions that meet your qualifications and career interests become available
• Potentially write letter of inquiry
– Find the right contact if possible (department chair/leader)
– Tailored to the specific university/college, company, non-profit as well as to the job you are interested in for
– Describe experience in terms of what they might need
– Include resume/CV

Strategies for Written Communication
Written Communication
• Recruitment communication is still fairly formal. Make sure all of your written communication is free of errors/mistakes:
– Typos, misspellings, run-on sentences, poor capitalization, etc will negatively impact your review
– Find someone you trust and have them proofread your materials before you hit send.
– Putting the wrong name in correspondence (the title of the job, the name of the organization, the person you are communicating with, etc.)
– Referring to a university/college as a “company”
– Don’t text a hiring official unless they initiate a text with you first
22
Ask career services resources for assistance if you need help with preparing written correspondence

A Note about LinkedIn
For non-academic hiring, and increasingly for academic hiring, a LinkedIn profile is how to:
• Be tapped proactively for opportunities
• Hear about openings
• Learn about organizations and then network with people you might meet

Networking:
“The planned process by which one becomes known, through phone discussions and in-person meetings in business and social settings, to people who can provide information about job openings, leads, personal contacts and those who have the power to hire.”

Informational Interviewing (one form of networking):
• Identify key individuals in your field of interest
• Ask questions to gain information about their:
– Job
– Organization
– Field
– Work experience and background
– Advice to you-including others to potentially connect to
• Not specifically to request a job

A dedicated Dual Career resource might be able to set-up an informational interview(s) for you.

Strategies for Informational Interviews (continued)
Stages of Informational Interview:
• Greeting/small talk (conversation generators)
• Statement of appreciation
• Brief restatement of purpose for requesting meeting
• Objectives/questions
• Referrals
• Closing
• Send thank you letter
– Include resume if one has been requested
Sample Informational Interview questions can be found in your participant materials.

Conversation Generators
• Questions or statements that serve as openers to conversation
• Enable you to start a conversation without immediately jumping to who you are, what you do, and what you need
• Relate to something you have in common (LinkedIn can help you figure this out)
– At the same event, interested in the same topic, have similar concerns, etc.
– Went to similar colleges/universities, had the same major, etc.
– Can be as simple as weather or previous weekend activities

Job Search Process
• Be patient, job hunting is a process
• Remember you have skills, experience, and accomplishments that are of value to an employer
• Your job search success is dependent on your persistence and your ability to communicate your worth
• Recruitment is often about relationships that you build that ultimately connect you with opportunities
