Career Management
I found this information very helpful in teaching my students who are about to complete their studies, and begin their new career. This infomration will help them as they move forward on their sucessful paths. Their positive attitude and organization skills are priceless.
Clifton,
great point! Many times we are attracted by a position, power, or money but really if we took a higher level we would not have the time, or we wouldn't have the connection with students, etc that we truly crave.

The first step and one that I was reminded of in this course is to write out goals and what is important to you as an individual. Obviously compensation is important to most but many times that is not the most important item on one’s list. Once I wrote my list out I realized that time was most prized. Learning to discover more about myself through the eyes of others was also rather helpful because there were so many positive attributes I can transfer to another line of work I had not even noticed in myself.
Marc,
and this can be a great preparation for their future career planning & forward movement.

Especially with career schools and students with varied backgrounds. Being able to help students shoecase their transferable skills is extremely helpful in their career path and will help them be successful.
I agree, this will be very helpful for my students that are about ready to graduate.
Nancy,
this is a great point to make with our students. They must own their own career.

I inform my students that they are responsible for their own career, that they must stay current.
Everyone must know what their skills are and organize these skills in different skilled areas.
Having the understanding that in todays world you are responsible for yourself making it in the world. we no longer use the career ladder as once was use during your parents and grandparents era.
Rose,
yes as they approach graduation it is a great time to refocus on the next phas of goals, career, etc.
