Great Lakes Loons’ Post

Helpful tips for next weeks career fair.

Yes. Yes. I have become slightly obsessed with the NFL post Taylor & Kelce (but I am not the only one). However, working in Indian Sport for the last 15 years (Yes, and do not age me!) has exposed me to the Business side of the NFL. Sports Newsletters and American Websites have provided more and a lot more insight about the NFL - and it has been a fascinating learning experience that has been so awe inspiring. I want to know more and I want to see more because they are doing it so so well. This is just one of the examples of what they are getting right - building a platform to give their athletes a future to look forward to with dignity and respect. The professional athlete brings a lot to the boardroom table! What else could you expect from a Human Being who chases one goal constantly for years! They have built themselves to be focused, disciplined and so so resilient and they would be the perfect team player! Spaces for this are so essential for the Indian Athlete as well and I wish we could find a way to give them more than a 'coaches' job, or the 'Railways posting'. So much to learn and so much to think about what we can do and should be doing. Sport is collaborative and competitive - which is why it makes it so easy to want to learn from each other.

Having an elevator pitch ready for our annual Bellevue College Networking & Job fair this Wednesday, May 8th, will ensure you maximize your time with each employer! 1. Start by introducing yourself. "Hello my name is _______, and I am a student at Bellevue College." 2. Next, provide your educational background. "I am currently studying _____," or "I have a degree in _____." 3. It is important that you are upfront with your objectives. "I am seeking a job or internship in ______." Include the position or industry that you are seeking. 4. Aside from your background, it is also important to provide employers with relevant skills and strengths. "I am skilled at_____." Remember to include skills that would be relevant to the position you are seeking. 5. Now, provide employers with the opportunity to tell YOU what they offer. "What opportunities are available?" Remember, this is just the foundation to build your elevator pitch. Personalize and adapt your pitch based on the situation! 🔗Learn more about the employers attending and some job fair tips here: https://lnkd.in/gbgCryZG Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity!

The job fair is 1 week away, sign up today! This is not your ordinary job fair! • We will provide and set up your table and chairs. • We will provide coffee, water & lunch. • Please bring a tablecloth, any table decorations/marketing materials, and applications. • Wi-fi will be available, but please bring your own electronics and extension cords. About the culture at Better Together job fairs: • Culture of Celebration - We will celebrate every person and every opportunity which they find at the job fair. Make a big deal out of interviews, job offers, and other meaningful interactions. We also want to celebrate them and the employers! • Opportunity Bell - One of the most obvious ways we celebrate. If you extend an on-the-spot job offer, please come up to the bell with your new employee to ring it together so we can all stop, clap, cheer, and celebrate with you. • Job Coaches - Volunteers will be working with and encouraging job seekers throughout the day. If you are looking for something specific or not having a lot of luck, flag down a coach so they can be on the lookout for exactly what you need. Their job is to make matches and get job seekers ready to meet you, so help them do their jobs better by interacting with them. • What is your one more step? - We love it when people receive information about open positions and how to apply - that’s fantastic. But, we would love to challenge you to take one more step than you have taken before at job fairs and try interviewing on the spot, conducting screening steps before they’ve left the building, inviting job seekers for appointments or interviews at specific set times at your facility, or even offering on the spot jobs. We will provide a private room for your on the spot interviews to be held. Message me today if you have any questions or would like additional information!

Remember that TINY cone of the GIANT Redwood Tree? While what's inside, at first glance, looks insignificant, this amazing tree grows from it - for hundreds and hundreds of years - and it creates more life (abundance), too! We have some new people on this page: Mickey Mikeworth, Sarah Steffen, Rafael Rosa, Rosemary Senjem, Suzy (Susan) Ross, Phil Courey, Kathryn Sharpe, Josie Pitts, Libby Rau, Mollie Thompson, Christopher "Bud" Ahrens- welcome to Spark Potential! I am so curious: 🌲 What is an example of a tiny beginning in your life, and what are its ripples today? A TINY beginning for me was attending a summer camp job fair in college. I had no idea how that day would shift my life. It put me on a path to youth development and education - a life that's been so meaningful for me because as I experienced camp, I discovered a core belief - that everyone has a birthright to believe in themselves and experience the beauty of WHO they are! Helping people find their sense of self became my life's passion. The TINY beginning of my self-discovery continues to live and breathe in me today. It's the reason my energy is shifting to coaching rising youth development leaders. I'm not sure it would have happened if I ignored my RA saying - "you should go check out the summer camp job fair." What is one of your TINY beginnings? How is it impacting you today?

There’s no such thing as a bad job offer. Accepted or not, job offers change lives. An accepted offer means: - A fresh start - Financial stability - An opportunity for growth And a non-accepted offer means: - Leverage - Practical experience - A new sense of confidence Go to a career fair. Put yourself out there. Job offers – even if they aren’t what you’re looking for – are always beneficial.
