UExplore vs. Pancake Breakfast?
Oh my goodness! The All Staff Holiday Pancake Breakfast is the same day as UExplore's spotlight on Career Planning and the Administrative Support Career Field.
No need to worry, though: The UExplore session is still on, starting at 8:30am at Geisel Library, Seuss Room.
And, we're serving up our own breakfast treats:
* Scrambled eggs
* Home-fried potatoes
* Choice of bacon or sausage links
* Assortment of breakfast pastries and muffins
* Seasonal fresh fruit display
* Orange juice
* Starbucks coffee
* Decaf
* Numi organic teas
* Cocoa assortment
* Cold Water
Tip: If you choose the first breakfast session, that'll end by 8:15am and you can take a hop, skip, and a jump on over to the Geisel Library, Seuss Room for UExplore!

This is Pacific Hall, noticeable for its blue awnings. Go through the sliding doors and head on up to the third floor.

Home-Grown Spotlight: Michael Yates
“I enjoy helping others find careers.” Michael Yates, Manager of Professional Recruitment and Community Outreach, UCSD Vice Chancellor-Business Affairs Human Resources
As a young lad, Michael Yates dreamt of a career as a superstar athlete on the basketball court. And while he would still consider trading his pressed suit and tie for a pair of Air Jordan’s, Michael finds fulfillment in his work in human resources and in his role as the Manager of Professional Recruitment and Community Outreach (PRCO).
Michael Yates transferred to UC San Diego Human Resources with over 10 years of experience, occupying various professional appointments in the recruitment and outreach arena in the healthcare administration and academic administration fields. His first job in his career field specialization in employment was as a part-time recruiter with Hoag Hospital, and he credits the upward trajectory of his career to a combination of factors: strategy, networking, hard work, and luck. Without a doubt, participation in outside organization and training also served a key role in his successful appointment as PRCO Manager.
In this role, Michael is a vital member of the human resources team in the Vice Chancellor Business Affairs area of UC San Diego. As a senior manager, Michael works in partnership with other senior managers in the areas of Accommodation Counseling & Counseling Services, Benefits, Compensation, Employee Relations/Policy Development/Work Life, Equal Opportunity/Staff Affirmative Action, Faculty and Staff Assistance Program, Labor Relations, Staff Education and Development, Temporary Employment Services, Information Technology, Administrations Services, and Retirement Resource Center.
Michael works to achieve the focus of PRCO’s program: enhancing workforce diversity through efforts on campus and in the community; implementing a community relations program to promote UCSD's image as an employer of choice; and providing comprehensive professional services to the campus on Management and Senior Professional (MSP) recruitment and employment matters.
His attitude, experience, and abilities match the needs of his position and enable him to find fulfillment in a role that commonly moves between combing through the nitty gritty of employment law and connecting the dots to a grander, big picture and developing programs that deliver tangible results.
It’s a large mission, and Michael enjoys the challenge of interpreting new work laws and integrating them into UCSD employment practices. Michael enjoys helping others find their careers and luckily for UC San Diego, Michael feels like he’s found the right home with PRCO and human resources.
For more information about Michael, ask him questions at the November 19th Career Information Panel.
In the meantime, here are some more fun facts:
#1 Work Philosophy: Do what you love, and you don’t have to work. But if you have to “work,” learn to align your star with your boss’ star. Together you will shine brighter…If your boss doesn’t have a star or is a black hole, find another boss.
#2 Michael’s favorite day of the week is “Friday but Saturday is when I’m able to get the most work done.”
#3 Michael is the middle child
#4 Birthday: Oct 1st
#5 The last book he read was The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle
