Dimitris Sampsonidis is a Career Counsellor at the University of Crete in Greece. He was recently ranked one of the most influential people on LinkedIn in Greece and he has been a strong advocate for advancing and promoting the field of career services in Greece. In his spare time, he's pursuing a Ph.D. from the University of Crete on the topic of polymathy and multipotentiality.In this episode we discuss:
- The similarities and differences between the Greek and U.S. systems of career services in higher education, and even the differences between Greece and the broader European Union (E.U.).
- The challenges of hosting employers for career fairs and recruiting events when your university is on an island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea!
- The quote from the very first episode of the Career Services Leadershipthat brought him to tears and continues to inspire and motivate him today.
- Why, as career services leaders, it's important for us to be in harmony with our own purpose so that we can better help students find their purpose.
Dimitris, thank you for the thought-provoking conversation!
