In the latest Careers podcast we interview David Schachter, Assistant Dean for Career Services and Experiential Learning at The Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at NYU. David manages Wagner's career-related support of students and alumni. Originally trained as an actor, David has had more than fifteen years of non-profit staff and volunteer management experience. He has offered training, consulting, and facilitation nationally in the areas of leadership, staff development, supervision, team building, training of the trainer, and career planning. In addition, he developed programs and training components that appear in several chapters of The Idealist Guide to Nonprofit Careers. David received the 2006 NACE/Chevron Outstanding Achievement Award for Innovative Programs in Career Services for his partnership with Action Without Borders/Idealist.org on the creation of the Institute on Public Service Careers, a series of two-day professional development trainings designed to educate college career services professionals and year-of-service program staff from across the country on how to increase the visibility and accessibility of public service careers to their students, volunteers, and alumni. David received his Master's Degree in Public Administration from NYU Wagner and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Idealist.org's Amy Potthast talks with David about the job search process; the diverse, ill-defined paths to public service careers; the NYU Fellowship for Emerging Leaders in Public Service at Wagner; David's own path, and much, much more.Click here to download (0:31:51)Related links:WagnerThe Fellowship For Emerging Leaders In Public ServiceThe Idealist.org Career Guide digg_url = 'http://idealist.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=323295'; digg_skin = 'compact'; digg_window = 'new'; | Add to Del.icio.us | function fbs_click() {u=location.href;t=document.title;window.open('http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u='+encodeURIComponent(u)+'&t='+encodeURIComponent(t),'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436');return false;} html .fb_share_link { padding:2px 0 0 20px; height:16px; background:url(http://static.ak.facebook.com/images/share/facebook_share_icon.gif?43:26981) no-repeat top left; }Share on Facebook | reddit_url='http://idealist.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=323295' reddit_title='Career Guru: NYU Wagner School's David Schachter'
