I plan to implement what I learned by writing down my priorities of tasks for work and personally.  I learned that time management is the glue that helps us stay organized and allows us to get more accomplished within a given period of time.  It also helps us save from wasting time and energy focusing on tasks that are not important and that are not going towards our goals. 

I have learned from this module that to give an effective presentation, one needs to be intentional and be aware of their audience and the message their trying to get across.  Also, being well prepared and knowing the topic that one will be presenting, are important aspects of presenting that the audience pays attention to.  

I have learned that giving a presentation requires sufficient preparation, especially if you have to provide detailed information to a diverse audience.

How has this training helped you?

Posting job posts in our student portal is also what I do.  I… >>>

Hi Alena,

That's a great question.  I was thinking of a similar question as well.  I am the Career Services Officer at my university and was also inquiring about obtaining a certification. I'm in the process of obtaining the CCEP career services certification through MaxKnowledge. 

I've only taken a few courses so far, so I have a ways to go.  I currently don't have any professional certifications as of yet. 

What type of institution do you work at?

I work at a university who is eventually moving to ACCSC.  Has anyone had this accreditor before, and if so, how has your experience been with them?  Do they have strict career services employment outcomes?
