Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.

I was not familiar with the 5 Keys, this was a great way to explain how to be a valuable employee/team player.  The examples included in this section are very helpful and I will look to them when working with students before they take on their first internship/work experience.

It is important to maintin the 5 keys to success like being dependable and being a member of the team. Calling out alot or engaging in gossip will not help you in your job. Being able to take criticism is also important.

 

I enjoyed learning about upholidng your dignity within interviewing and interaction with employers or coworkers. Communication is very important and having emotional intelligence is as well. Following the steps provided will definitely help someone make a great impression within their introductory period. 

I was absolutley unaware of the five keys as a guide. I also didn't know that alienating coworkers was the biggest reason people lose their jobs. I was very shocked by that. I would have thought it was being late or something similar to that.

 

During this module, I learned that internships are very important. During internships, students are able to learn what they like and dislike. It is great practice. 

 

I did not know that alienatng coworkers was one of the biggest reason that people can lose their jobs. It makes the idea of teamwork and communication that much more important!

 

This is a helpful module about the "The 5 keys to Success" communication as the key to becoming a great employee with any workplace!

 

This describes excellent ways to introduce and practice good worker and communication skills. Very important!

The way you approach any situation and person can be helpful or be a hindrance to what the goal is. So it's important to think carefully about how you will help offset any problems that arise in the workplace (how you behave towards superiors, coworkers, and customers/clients alike).

 

Communication is critical. 

Being a team player is very important especially your presentation and making sure you are able to communicate effectively will help avoid awkward situations.

The 5 keys to success are valuable.  I will make sure to remind students to respond to area of weakness questions as areas that they need to improve.

I feel that highlighting the importance of good communication skills to your students is vital to their work and career success.  Building relationships and trust is important. Also having an internship to develop skills and show a potential employer what you can do is beneficial. 

Teaching students about how to make a good impression. Also letting them know the importance of an internship.

 

I enjoyed reading building and maintaining relationships with partners. It was interesting to read the 5 keys to success. 

 

The 5 Keys to Success will be helpful to review with students as they prepare to enter the workforce. 

 

I love the communicating effectively section and resources. I will for sure be using these examples in my work with students.

The 5 Keys to Success was helpful to learn about. The information regarding working with employers was beneficial.
