It is important to meet student where they are and cater your approach to their level. 

I have learned that having an organized and clearly defined Career Services department benefits the entire institution including admissions, current students, alumni, community partners, etc.  A Career Services department needs to have tools and resources in place so that students can have information and know how to be successful once they complete their training.  

This is a great resource tool to help students prep for interviewing with employers 

Using a strengths based approach allows us to identify each individuals unique strengths for a positive outcome 

On this topic i realized that one common job search challenge is staying motivated despite rejections. It can be discouraging however setting small goals, tailoring resume, and practicing interview skills can help. Networking and using job search strategies like SOLAR or PADMAN also can improve chances

I learn in this module that actions job seekers can take to optimize their applications, seek out referrals, quickly strengthen their personal brand, and be more proactive and creative in their approach. I like recourses that were provided in this module. And also, shows how important maintaining a strong online presence. Use professional platforms like LinkedIn and keep personal social media professional. Stay informed about your industry and target companies, and actively build connections. Digital portfolios may soon replace traditional resumes.

Employment Reporting is key to the student and the university, in determining quality programs for gainful employment analysis, and also for political and legal reasons.     

I’ve learned that job search preparation goes beyond job boards—it requires goal-setting, resume optimization, networking, and interview prep. As a Career Services Advisor, I’ll guide students in defining career goals, tailoring applications, building strong LinkedIn profiles, and gaining confidence in their job search.

Using the right coaching techniques, you can guide students to think through their options and make confident choices, even when the stakes feel high. Career coaches do more than just help with job searches and resumes—they help students tackle the deeper issues that impact their decisions and motivation.

Active listening and constructive criticism are essential in career coaching, as they help build trust and provide meaningful guidance. By actively listening to clients’ concerns and offering feedback that is specific, actionable, and supportive, coaches empower individuals to grow professionally and achieve their career goals
