The Philosophers' Café is a public forum in which community members discuss interesting contemporary issues in a relaxed and informal setting. Our next meeting is Oct. 11th, 7pm, at Brewery Nonic. The topic is "Back from the Dustbin? The Marxist Critique in the 21st Century" and will be moderated by Dr. Christopher Marshall (History, UW-Stout). Here is the abstract:

"With the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Marxist critique seemed consigned to history's dustbin. Indeed, in 1992 Francis Fukuyama famously proclaimed liberal capitalism's apparent victory as signifying "the end of history," with humankind's political and economic evolution reaching its zenith. The 1990s saw "Third Way" ideology, embodied in leaders like Bill Clinton and Tony Blair, attempt to address inequality via mechanisms of the market. However, despite these bold claims, the last thirty years have witnessed deepening inequality, expanded corporate power, economic crises (particularly in 2008), and democratic retreat. Given these realities, is it time to revisit the Marxist critique? Can it provide useful perspectives and strategies for dealing with the challenges of our historical moment?"

Join us for some fun discussion! Everyone is welcome!

Ask a Career Coach: How should I respond to "tell me about yourself" in an interview? 

 

First off, the interviewer doesn't want to know that you knitted a holiday sweater for your cat or that your online game is Apex Legends. Rather, they want to know how you're different from other candidates, so try to respond with these three things: 

 

  1. What professional skills do you offer? What are your strengths? 

  1. Think about the qualifications you’ll bring for the position. Work your experiences into your answer. 

  1. Why do you want the job? Be concise and bring your personality into your response. 

 

Keep a professional and personable tone throughout your answer. Get more tips and practice your response with Big Interview, which is available to you through Career Services.
