Michael, It's great to hear someone talk about active listening. It's a drastically underused and undervalued skill but so crucial for teachers. I really like your approach. Elizabeth Kemler

marsha, Even better than sharing success stories you know about, having employed graduates coming in to speak can be a very effective motivator. Elizabeth Kemler

Kallie, Games are absolutely the way to go. Would love to hear more details if you're willing-would like to share them with other students. Elizabeth Kemler

Powerful Cover Letters

Colleen, I agree that the employer probably doesn't typically give any one resume too much of their time-I think students need to have the resume be balanced vs having all the 'good stuff' up front. I do think it makes a lot of sense to focus on academic and volunteer experience where actual work experience is lacking. Elizabeth Kemler

Colleen, This is so true. It really does help to introduce other unrelated topics so it doesn't seem like the job search is everything. Elizabeth Kemler

Tara, Great approach. And I really like your guided imagery idea-there was a technical problem and I couldn't reply to that post directly. Elizabeth Kemler
