School District U-46’s Post

After seeing this graphic, the two words that come to mind are Preparation and Adaptation. How can we better prepare our college students as they enter the workforce? Job Fairs are just one part of the process, but colleges and universities provide the tools for those students to be successful. And what about our interview processes? Should we adapt some of our antiquated methods? (It's time for a change.) Gen Z is here, and they're not going anywhere. Companies and recent graduates must figure out how to co-exist effectively. At the end of the day, none of those survey results indicated that the applicant couldn't do the job. Source: https://lnkd.in/e9QBBnjG

I'm not teaching class today because the Career Fair at Michigan Technological University is such a big deal, we formalized it as a recess from classwork. But I'm always struck by the fact that large #environmental and #civil #engineering firms, nearly all of which have #culturalresources units or divisions, don't recruit for #CRM employees at this event. They don't collect resumes or interview young archaeologists, architectural historians, ethnographers, or historians of any type. I've asked about this at American Cultural Resources Association (ACRA) before. I understand why small and regional firms don't come here to recruit, but the big firms? Why is the hiring process so different for archaeological technicians and project supervisors in CRM vs. other fields in resources management, development, and planning? I keep hearing about how hard it is for companies to find and retain professionals in resource management jobs, but I don't see that the hiring process changed this year... Barr Engineering Co. Commonwealth Associates, Inc. Tetra Tech The Mannik & Smith Group, Inc. TRC Companies, Inc. US Army Corps of Engineers ECS Limited You are all here, but none of you listed "social sciences" or "anthropology" or "history" or any other allied major that could supply your company with these workers. Could it be a problem with the Career Soft Solutions Inc's #CareerFair+ website structure or design? I don't think so. It makes me wonder if these companies are serious about their cultural resources compliance units, their commitment to NEPA/NHPA, or the way that the cultural resource professionals within these companies assert their significance alongside their peers in other fields. —- Evening postscript. I’ve had some rants today. But the CRM sector is a $1,500,000,000 annual industry. Can’t we even get your co-workers at the giant firms to understand that these professions matter at their own companies?

#risingseniors and #classof2025parents, pay attention. I have a rising senior. The university job fairs will start at the BEGINNING of the school year. My son also just informed me that employers will be at his university doing on-site interviews early in the semester. Here's what I've learned: The college career centers are overworked and underfunded. Their hearts are in the right place but can only do so much. Your resume needs to be on point and stand out from 100s of other upcoming graduate applicants. Consider interview preparation. I want you to rise head and shoulders above the competition. How? It comes from knowing yourself and your value. Are you ready? School is starting here in AZ in just two weeks.

𝙉𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙨𝙠 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜: Mindset where 80% of people in 20's are. Real Incident. As a volunteer in Job fair conduct in the college I found a person had come to attend the Interview along with his mother. As he was new to the place he did not know where a printer shop was. He was stumbling here and there but never approached us. But for a change his mother approached and learnt about the place and passed on to him. That's not the only case and it's same with many others. This results in creating a barrier to learn new things. ps: Note Even Mother doesn't know the Hunger of the child unless until They cry. #communication #LifeLesson #PersonalGrowth #JobFair #AskForHelp #YouthChallenges #OvercomingBarriers #LearningOpportunities #CollegeExperience #ProfessionalDevelopment #CommunicationSkills #YoungAdults #RealStories
