RÃ©sumÃ© as Marketing Device

What are some of the best strategies that you have found to teach this distinction and encourage the necessary skills for students to market themselves successfully?

Common Barriers

Licensure and career services

All of our graduates require state or national license before they can become employed in the field. Most graduates of our College actually open their own business upon receiving this license. As part of our career services offered, I believe that it would be beneficial to incorporate more business management practices - thereby helping our graduates become more successful in their professional lives after they graduate.

Career Services Department - Overview

I found, in this module, it very interesting that each department (including the career services) functions best with it's own department mission. At our College, we have one overall mission for the College, and not individual missions for each department. I can see the benefit from establishing departmental missions leading towards the overall mission of the College.

best way to get on contact with inactive grads...

one of the ways that I contact inactive grads is by just texting them by saying "hello John and good afternoon. how is it going?" and just wait for their reply of "good. who is this?" thats i have been calling the right number(since most of the time their voice mail is not set-up of their you will only hear the machine and not them stating their name). So try to set up a google voice/text number!
