It is crucial that we encourage students to utilize a comprehensive array of resources and establish clear expectations to facilitate their success. By understanding their specific needs, we can effectively guide them toward opportunities that align their career aspirations.
Team, remember to teach students to find the correct jobs for them, to sell themselves better.
I believe it is very important to help a student determine from the beginning of their academic career what their interests are; if we can get students to enter areas that they are actually interested in, I believe this is a way to retain the student and keep them engaged in their education. There is so much pressure on students from outside factors, like parents, for example, to do this or be that because it makes so much money....there is more to a career and being successful in that field than making money. Of course, we want our students to be able to make a living, but if they can do this in a career they are interested in, they are more likely to remain employed.
There were some fantastic tips in this module that one could consider in their job search. One that stuck out to me was remaining professional even when asking people whom you have a personal relationship with about any available jobs.
