Reminder to have follow up procedures in place whether it be following up from a job order or actual placement to keep the relationship strong.
One of the biggest take aways was to walk the graduates through my actions of cold calling for job openings and see if I can get them to commit to trying it on their own. Coaching them on what to say and practice with them. This is a good reminder to them that they should be outmatching my own efforts.
My takeaway was a better job of taking the case notes and diving deeper with open ended questions for a job order.
I will continue to "advocate” and be a problem-solver for your students, graduates, and employers. This is a great reminder of all the valuable benefits we offer and to leverage more of these points when talking with employers.
My take away is to do both surveys in person and online. I believe we would get a better outcome and better feedback. Also to do a follow up with the team after that helped to support the event. Their feedback is just as important to see what worked and what we can improve on.
Setting up additional mini workshops prior to the event and making sure students are prepared with their resumes and elevator speeches. Also Would like to get some employers onboard to come in the evening to support those students as well.
Starting the planning process early and utilizing marketing strategies for a successful event.
I plan to have communication with all departments and explain the impact we all collectively share for student retention and success. Also like the idea of adding in some virtual job fairs.
This was a great reminder to be more intentional when writing or responding to an email. It can easily be taken out of context when sending a quick reply to someone that may be looking for a bit more depth.
I want to be better with setting expectations and talk about the different techniques to make the student think a little more for themselves with guidance.
