Prior to joining Columbia in 2012, Sabeen worked with graduate students at NYU in the core job search skills of self-assessment, networking, cover letter and resume development, interview preparation, and offer negotiation.

Fifteen of the twenty-one participants improved their TBI scores representing a shift toward more student-centered pedagogical beliefs, five instructors showed no change in their beliefs, and one instructor's TBI score decreased in their post-development interview.
During her initial pre-development interview, Hilary responded in an instructor-centered way where she stated "time is always a constraint…I do have topics that I want to make sure I cover over the course of the semester.
For example, during the pre-development interview Lauren described her role as "I give them the material or I set up the demo, or maybe I will have to do some lecturing as well".
When asked about when to move on to a new topic, the responses ranged from an instructor-centered response from Hilary during her pre-development interview that focused on schedule and time constraints "I really can't spend more than the…on whatever topic we are scheduled before there is just so much material that needs to be covered".
This view changed during the post-development interview where she responded in a more student-centered manner by stating that she assessed learning by "the discussions really, again they [students] give me a very good idea of what's going on during a week to week basis".
