Elynne Chaplik-Aleskow is the definition of a successful career changer with three different and successful careers throughout the span of her lifetime. Her first career was as the Founding General Manager of WYCC-TV, a PBS affiliate. She later went back to a true passion of hers and became a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Wright College in Chicago. As she retired, her husband provided some wisdom that Chaplik-Aleskow wouldn\'t be happy just retiring so she decided to become an author and now her memoirs are published in over 37 magazines and anthologies. As you can imagine, she has a number of great stories to share for career changers, advice to share for job seekers, and life lessons to share with the Northwestern Network.
