I learned you need to know your students/candidates strengths, weaknesses and attitudes before sending in front of job partners.

I appreciate the module as it brings awareness knowing your programs, the institution itself an your career path as you embark on job searching.

I really like some of the tips which I feel would be beneficial for the student population I work with (first year students). Many of these can be intimidating, however but I think understanding the huge benefit behind such tips is motivating. 

I learned quite a bit on how in depth networking is. I also learned some great strategies for creating networking plans. I think the worksheets are great for both personal use and to use as a resource when working with students. 

Resumes and cover letters can often incude other realtable skills to the position being applyed for. 

I encourage student to seek jobs they are passionate about. Its important that students focus on finding the right job for them. You should work in a field that you like so it does not feel like a job. You should not just focus on pay but on the actual job description. Students should do their research and focus on their needs and wants. 

Remembering how to build an effective resume, sometime depends on the student's other skills set that might not seem relative to the specific job. 

Customer service is always a useful experiance in any job dealing with clients and or the public.

 

I learned the value in having network ties and broadened my knowledge of the different components of a network. I found the dormant ties statistics to be really interesting. I like the tip of reaching out to dormant ties once a month to re-kindle those ties. 

This has helped me learn some new ways to keep members engaged.  I will definitly use this for our next board meeting.

I never realized how many steps there are to Motions.  I will definitly share that with my staff.
