by Eileen Hoenigman Meyer

The competitive culture in higher education is no secret. Just getting your foot in the door requires standing out as a competitive candidate with impressive credentials, experience, and references. Once you start the job, great achievements are expected. As a result, maintaining your professional reputation can be an ongoing source of stress. So, how do you avoid burnout? It's all about remaining authentic, setting your own goals, and finding where you fit.
