I learned when it's best to leave a message when calling a business. I've always just left a voicemail no matter what when trying to connect with an employer/business, but after reading through the reasons to leave one and not to leave one. I have a better understanding on times when leaving a voicemail might not be the best course of action.

The part that stuck out to me the most was the "know your industries" section. I sometimes forget how important it is to do some research not just on the jobs itself but on the local businesses before engaging in job development.

I found this section of the course to be very informative as it shares a new light and perspective on the side of Higher Education and it's relationship with the ever changing job market. 

I have learned that sustaining and scaling the impact of career services involves building long-term capacity by integrating services into culture, building partnerships, and securing resources. 

Effective career services serve as a link connecting education and the workforce by addressing the needs of both learners and employers.  These services prepare learners with skills for career transition and act as a talent pipeline connecting employers with skilled students.

Thank you so much

My biggest takeaway is to make sure market research/intel-gathering is done to a near exhaustive level. While it's hard to be an expert at everything, it's easy to gain a solid understanding via some time spent researching a market/company. Great advice!
