The listening session will be held on October 22, 2019, at 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., EDT. Organizations invited to attend in person will be chosen to broadly represent the SGM community.

AAPOR Presents: Reflections on Career Transitions in the World of Survey Research, October 10, 2019, Noon – 1:30 PM CDT, presented by Claudia Deane, Matt Jans, and Mandy Sha. The profession of survey research is dynamic and diverse, composed of professionals from academia, the non-profit sector, for-profit research organizations and government entities. Although similar in their use of shared methodologies and theoretical principles, these workplaces frequently operate with different cultural norms and expectations. Professionals may often change jobs within fields multiple times throughout the course of their careers and these transitions can be challenging, stimulating, and rewarding. This webinar presents three survey professionals who have traversed multiple career tracks throughout the course of their careers. The presenters will discuss their career transitions, focusing on the challenges they faced and the insights and skills they wish they had known prior to making these transitions. This webinar is targeted towards students, early and mid-career survey researchers, or anyone interested in advancing their careers or changing career tracks. To register: https://register.aapor.org/
