Help students stay positive. Help them network in the field they are interested in.
Something I have done and will continue to do regarding the preparation and commitment stages are to have my students develop an E-Portfolio, which contains their personal and professional missions statements, and "About Me" section which includes a Resume and an Accomplishment/Achievements section and to include a profile for contact information as well. This way the can, on the fly, provide a prospective employer with a link to their Resume but also everything else that might not fit so snuggly into a crisp 1 page resume. This gives the impression to the employer that the prospective higher is more than just a piece of paper. My students are people that employers want to meet.
I need more help with finding and supporting certifications for my kids.
Modifying goals happens in the preparation stage. Help keep students on track. Educate them on the commitment stage that involves choosing a career and what all the things are that come with it. This would include networking with others in that job field and all the required items that go along with job hunting.
To remain positive for the students.
