Division D- Measurement and Research Methodology New York Marriott Marquis Times Square / Marquis Ballroom, Salon C, 9th Floor [|Measurement and Research Methodology Graduate Students Seminar - "The Road Less Traveled: Transitioning From Graduate Student to Professional"] Participants: Hao Song (American Board of Internal Medicine), Arturo Olivarez (Texas Tech University), H. Gary Cook (University of Wisconsin - Madison), Raymond Mapuranga (ETS) Chair: Linda A. Chard (ETS)

Abstract: The panelists will discuss the process of becoming a professional. This will include various aspects such as completing the dissertation, interviewing for a job, and starting a new position as a professional. Panelists will address career planning topics such as: the value of undertaking an internship, whether to accept a position while still ABD, how to compare job opportunities, and how to build your vita and cover letter. The panelists' experience spans various areas of psychometrics. They will offer relevant advice from their own experience, as well as general suggestions about avenues to success. The session will begin with a continental breakfast and the opportunity for graduate students to interact with panelists in an informal environment. This will be followed by both large group discussions and focused small group roundtables.

//Note: Most sessions this morning are graduate student seminars for different divisions. The session above appeared to be the most relevant for our group.//
