Hi Laura,

While the shift towards digitalization has indeed transformed many aspects of the job search process, there are still valid reasons to consider bringing paper marketing materials to an interview. Below are a few:

Preparedness: Bringing paper copies of relevant marketing materials demonstrates preparedness and professionalism. It can convey that a candidate has anticipated the potential need for physical copies and is ready to provide them if needed. Even if the interviewers have already reviewed digital materials, having tangible copies on hand can be useful for reference during the interview. Moreover, one should… >>>

ACTE had a webinar on this topic highlighting Montana's approach to recruiting CTE teachers. You may get some good insights. I've embedded it for you here but also in case anyone else may benefit from watching it.

Hi Danielle, criminal records are public information in the United States. FERPA has to do with educational records. So, I imagine if one is defining "criminal background" to include perhaps open criminal investigations (not convictions) at the school which are protected student records, than under this broad concept of "criminal background," it could violate FERPA to disclose such information. However, the question you are referencing has more to do with the idea of referring students as job candidates to employer partners. In the situation that you refer a student with a criminal record, the employer will have access to such… >>>

Hi Susan,

I see how "interview" can be misunderstood as being restricted to "live" or synchronous communication because of the traditional ways in which they have been conducted in the past. Given technology these days, things have changed. It's common to use a combination of methods to collect, report, and verify data. Some institutions use all three and some only use one method. It sounds like you use multiple methods. From what I'm hearing, you start with a survey to collect self-reported data. You then verify that self-reported data (I'm presuming verification is done through the employer or a third-party… >>>

Hello,

Presuming this thread was started based on information in the CS202 Course, I think there is confusion. Susan said, "It's interesting to me that telephone interview is seen as being able to gather more results." In discussing the different data collection methods for an employment verification program, three methods are presented. There is no mention of what presents "better results" but rather a presentation of the benefits and challenges of each. Additionally, if one were to claim a certain method has "better results," one would have to define what is meant by "results." If by results, one means more… >>>
