Volunteering or job shadowing is a great way to excel your career. It can also help you determine if special education is the right path for you. Find opportunities for you: https://bit.ly/44ZVzLS #optimiseedu #jobshadow #specialeducation

Your client always has unspoken needs. Have you ever asked, “What is the best thing I can do for you right now other than delivering high quality services?” I have. The answers may surprise you: -help my child find a summer internship -educate us on insurance brokers -help uncover diverse board candidates -amplify this important message online -tell me where I should be networking -find attendees for our charity event -make my in-laws a list of landscapers -introduce me to your favorite realtor -find us a corporate attorney in Jamaica The list goes on and on and is as wide- ranging as the needs YOU have outside of work at this very moment. Ask them! #clienthaven

What was your worst summer job? I always wanted to be the cool summer camp counselor (Bill Murray in Meatballs) but settled for working alone in a field at a Christmas tree farm. I wore shin pads so my machete wouldn't cut me and heavy boots so if I stepped on a snake it couldn't bite me. There was zero cool in a field and I hope my kids learn the same lessons. 1. Stay in school. Sitting in class learning with your friends is a privilege. 2. Work is not always fun. Bosses are not always fair. 3. 1 HR in a field to buy a Big Mac is not a wise trade. Needs Vs. Wants. 4. The work ethic you develop now will last a lifetime. 5. Offer to do more. Those are the kids who get to 'supervise' next year. If you think snake boots won't help you get into that College, or land that Internship you're wrong. Recruiters like me want to see stability, work ethic, progression, and ambition. Get your kids off the couch, out of the house, and earning valuable experience. Snake boots come in all sizes.

What is the point of having summer days at the company? I just participated in another unforgettable event organized by Bigbank, and I feel genuinely happy and grateful for having such a great employer and awesome colleagues. Creating such a positive feeling is obviously a good reason to have summer days. But there can be more! Things to consider when organizing the event: ↪ Team building and cooperation If your main goal is to improve cooperation between employees and focus on team building, it’s best to have the summer days without families. Activities should be team-focused, and it might be beneficial to rearrange teams between activities to encourage collaboration among different groups. ↪ Socializing and fun If your goal is to enable employees to get to know each other better and just have fun, you should consider a variety of activities and allow families to participate. ↪ Maximizing attendance To maximize attendance, schedule the summer days during the workweek. If this is not possible, consider allowing families to attend and providing attractive activities for everyone. Would you add anything else?

Hi! I'm wrapping up week three at CF Industries with Jasmine Konkin, Jeremy Loos, and Emma Hubler, and my time here has been nothing short of fantastic! I have hit the jackpot not only with co-workers but also with work itself. I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I've worked on so far and am always looking forward to another day at work. So, here are some of the fun projects I've gotten the opportunity to work on. To begin, I have been able to create some of the content and articles for our newsletter! I have worked on several articles so far and have loved the process. One article dives into our new benefits platform and search engine to explain what is new and improved, and the others focus on well-being and some of the Top 10 activities in different locations. I have a few other articles I'll be writing soon, such as one that looks into our farmers market and the delivery service CF offers. Then, another explores individual programs we offer at CF. With that, I’ve been helping with the company’s internal SharePoint page and have already created a page for the market. I plan to create more in the future for news articles and other projects! Additionally, I have been tasked to do in-depth research on various internal tools the company utilizes. Some tools we currently use, and some we potentially plan to use. My role is to independently do a deep dive into each, compare, and find significant information to present to the HR comms team along with a decision if we should go forward or not. I've gotten to work on a few events that are in the works now that I can't wait to share more on soon! It has been super fascinating seeing what goes on behind the scenes of coordinating an event, and it has been great exposure to many fields of work. This summer, I plan to support other projects like these so I look forward to exploring more of this work! I've also connected with other teams in the office to assist on other projects such as internship programs, tabling event designs, brand toolkit creation, and merchandise coordination, which have all been extremely insightful. It has been awesome networking with the company, and its leaders while learning more about each team's responsibilities. I’ve had the opportunity to meet and get to know so many people, both personally and professionally, which has been a great experience and made my first few weeks so enjoyable! So far, this summer has been nothing short of busy and fun, meeting new faces and learning new things!   Can’t wait for what is to come at CF!

Volunteering, part-time jobs, temping, extracurricular activities: all of these are valuable experiences that allow you to build up your skill set and expertise. However, to truly get the most out of them, or any experience in general, it’s crucial that you aren’t just doing them, you need to reflect on them too.   Dive into this article on experience reflection which will be valuable for your interview preparation. https://lnkd.in/gpX5jauY   #InvestmentVoices   Frank Li, CFA, Michelle Ouyang, CFA, Hugh Lam, CFA

Hi my name is Finley, for my Second rotation I have been working as a Kitchen Assistant in a Local Care Home. My day to day tasks include: Cleaning surfaces, laying the tables and serving the puddings to the residents and folding the napkins. I also put out the sauces, Load and unload the dishwasher, preparing the vegetables, helping to make the sandwiches and grating the cheese. Making sure the kitchen is tidy by putting things away, helping to clean the fridge and putting the food away in the fridge. What things have you found difficult on your rotation? I have found it difficult to learn how to move things safely I now a trolley to help me. I also found folding the napkins quite tricky as its quite fiddly so I asked for help with this. Setting the tables up quickly has also been hard. What skills have you learnt on your rotation? I have learnt about Customer Services and Product presentation and improved my skills in both of these areas. My listening skills have gotten better by listening to the staff and residents. I have also improved my peeling skills. What have you been doing on Project Search this term? Recently I attended a reverse Jobs fair and met with employers and talked about my skills and experience. I have completed my Food Hygiene Level 2 and a first Aid awareness course. We have done some classroom work on Health and Safety and done a bit of interview practise. For my rotation I had an interview which we prepared for by going through the questions before hand this made me feel prepared. Well done Finley you are doing amazing on your rotation!
