FROM THE CAREER COACH: TACTICS FOR SUCCESS BY TESS


From our very own Career Coach Tess Povar: Whether you are applying to jobs or internships remotely or at your computer a lot more than you are used to, here are my top 3 tips on how to stay motivated while working remotely.
  • If you can, try to allot a dedicate space for your work zone, which can even be a small corner of any room and surround yourself with some of your favorite things (for me, it's my favorite books and plants)
  • We all know sitting in one position all day is not going to make you feel energized. Try doing some light stretching or chair yoga throughout the day. Yoga with Adriene is my go-to for free yoga classes.
  • Need help focusing? I am a big fan of the pomodoro technique. Decide on the task to be done, set a timer for 25 minutes, work on that one task until the timer rings and reward yourself with a 5 minute break.
ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: THANK YOU TO FRIARS ON THE FRONT LINE!

Health Policy Management Major

Physician Growth & Development Analyst
Hackensack Meridian Health
New Jersey
What do you do?
I work in the Physician Contracting and Compensation department at Hackensack Meridian Health. We process renewals for existing employed physicians and help set the compensation for new physicians joining one of our practices or hospitals. 
 
How has your work changed during COVID-19?
I've been working from home for just over a month now. I'm looking forward to getting back to the office and having in person meetings again when it's safe to do so. I've also been assisting with special COVID projects to ensure that our facilities are appropriately staffed to accommodate an influx of patients. 
 
What advice would you give to a current Friar who might want to get into your field?
Make a remote appointment with Career Education! I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for my first appointment with a Career Coach which lead me to my first internship in college.
