Ever wondered what a great informational interview is *actually* like? I recorded one with @echorivera.com so you can see how these conversations unfold in real life. Watch it now on her YouTube channel.
An informational interview by Dr. Jennifer Polk of From PhD to Life: Let's talk about my career path
From PhD to Life: https://fromphdtolife.com/ Check our Dr. Polk's free webinar: https://fromphdtolife.com/phd-job-search-help/ Connect with Jen on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-polk-phd/ --- ✨ FREE TRAINING: https://www.echorivera.com/free-training ☕️ Buy me a coffee/send a thank-you tip my way here: https://ko-fi.com/echoechor In this video, hang out with me as we explore using shapes in PowerPoint. I provide some quick 101 information (like where to find shapes in PowerPoint), but then start sharing some ideas for how you can use additional tools you might not be familiar with, such as merge tools and editing the default points of shapes to create new shapes. Using these advanced tools in PowerPoint will help you create even more customized shapes, such as Venn diagrams, that allow you to customize the colors more than you might be used to. Let's step beyond change the shape fill and outline color of shapes, and use them to create more visually engaging -- and...

The minimum cost of living in the U.S. now rests at $67K. As a tenured professor, I was making $54K. Office staff were making mid 30s. Our department chairs, deans, and vice chancellors were all making healthy six figures and giving themselves pay raises. No raises for us, though.
A new report finds the bottom 60% of U.S. households—or *two-thirds* of the population—can't afford a “minimal quality of life": housing, health care, and other necessities.
"Indicators like GDP and unemployment tell us the economy is thriving. But they don’t reflect the reality of most Americans."
