Get Your Students Hired
what is a good technique to give the students that are about to go on externship or start a new job that are nervous and scared?
Offering one on one support and providing feedback in intimate settings allows for students to open up about their fears. This allows you to give encouragement and help build confidence.
Melissa,
First, I would have them look over the section included in this course on the 5 Keys to Work Success-maybe do some exercises/activities around that. I would also be sure that they have ongoing support from your career services team; I find that often, all someone needs is some support from people who understand the challenges they're facing. It would also be good for them to have some kind of mentor if possible--perhaps you could connect them with another graduate who is already working in the field.
