I've learned the importance of workshops that help students get skills set for job searching. Preparing for that first interview takes planning. It is important to remind graduates to consider an appropriate wardrobe, how to actually get the interview, and to practice interview skills. And Networking one of the effective way to find out about job openings
I learned that negotiating a salary can be seen as a candidate being serious about the job. The Career Services Department needs to ensure that they are able to prepare students with negotiating skills and tools so they are able to get the salary they deserve and have higher chances of staying at their job long-term.
This module helped me learned and appreciate the step by step details of resume writing. It was insightful and actually a great base model I can use to implement a workshop within my institution.
One of the major components of getting students ready for job placement is resume building. A resume should be created with components that highlight each student's skills and qualifications.
Students must practice interview etiquette and learn how to research each company to understand better the policies and what each employer offers to employees.
If they build confidence, this will help them with interview success.
It is important to know all accomplishments and skills whether it is for work or personal. It is important to know who you are and to be able to express this on your resume clearly as well as in your interview. Do not be afraid to negotiate your salary this is how to be sure you are getting what you are worth, even if you just started your career. It is my job to help make sure students understand this and have all the tools they need to walk into an interview confidently and prepared.
I do a lot of work with students one-on-one including resume' writing, mock interviewing, offer negotiation, etc. I would get a lot further and impact more students if I turned those into workshops.
I learned the importance of workshops, through which we can teach students skills to obtain and maintain a good and good and well-paying job.
It is important to teach students not only job acquiring skills such as resume building and interviewing training, but also job retention skills such as career goal setting and salary negations so the student has a good idea and concept on what to do after he or she has already landed the job.
I never really thought about teaching students and near graduates how to ask for a raise down the road.
Creating workshops, interview practice and enhancing skills related to job retention all play an important roll at our facility.
I have learned the importance of being detail-oriented on how to progress in your career journey, even as a student. For example, a student should be exposed to workshops on salary negotiation that can be utilized even in an entry-level position. Being forward-thinking will propel our students into their career path. It replaces the mindset from "I just need a job!" to "How can I find the right job for me?".
It's important for students to develop comprehensive resumes and references, and start networking early to learn about the professional culture and meet others who might help their careers take flight.
I've learned that informational interviews are helpful to students because they create a more relax environment for student s to inquire about the company workplace, expectations, retention, and advancement. It's also best to begin practicing interviews as earlier as possible.
Giving students a variety of workshop option, both individual and group is a great strategy to help students build a solid plan for employment.
When job searching, I learned that being prepared is everything. Building resumes and references to learning about soft skills and non skills helps to customize your resume to fit the needs employers are looking for. Networking is a great way to seek employment and spread the word about your accomplishments to be a successful candidate for hire.
I learnt that graduates need to be taught the importance of following up after interviews. They also need to know that it is okay to negotiate the salary they deserve.
I've learned that as Career Services Department, it is important to offer a variety of workshops to our students to make sure they are well prepared and ready for the professional world.
