Hello Rheashaun,
I'm glad to hear you give the advice of not waiting until the last minute to look for a job. Many view job search as an activity one does when one is unemployed or seeking to change positions. Job search is simply one aspect of career development and one is always in development working toward their future career goals, thus, they should always be mindful of this and should be continually preparing themselves. Monitoring the job market and understanding opportunity that is out there allows people to maintain knowledge of current job trends, shifts in trends, and what employers' expectations are of candidates by reviewing job postings.
In addition to asking your students to set up automated job alerts, ask them to build personal learning networks. Social media is a great way to build personal learning networks to enhance one's understanding of their industry and their profession. It's also a great way to network.
Rheashaun - what do you teach? Thanks for leaving a comment and contributing to the conversation.
