🌟 Today at the Career Fair (Day 1)🌟 Georgia Southern Office of Career and Professional Development Exciting day today as I took on dual roles (as an assistant and a student); as part of the OCPD team assisting employers with the career fair process and as a student actively seeking a Summer Internship opportunity. In my pursuit as a student, I made sure to ask pertinent questions: - Inquired about the available roles for their internship positions. - Sought clarity on the number of hires they are aiming for. - When faced with limited openings, I delved deeper to understand the specific requirements for potential applicants, gaining valuable insights along the way. - I made a point to ask about the nature of the internship - remote work is my preferred option! ✌️ I'm currently on the lookout for remote summer internship opportunities, and today's event has provided me with promising leads. Casting a wide net, like Peter in the Bible to access opportunities. After a long time, it feels interesting to immerse myself back into the recruitment process. Let the journey to finding the perfect fit commence! 💃💼 PS: When it comes to young professionals and the world of work, count me in!!! ✌️ #careerfair #remoteworkopportunities #networking #professionaldevelopment #internationalstudents

Tips to find suitable internships for your teen 2.    Research and Network Once the goals are identified, it is now time to conduct a market niche research to identify essential work opportunities relevant for your teenager. Students need to be proactive by having an eye-catching profile on LinkedIn as it is one of the most sought after professional sites for organizations with employment openings. Open day career fairs on campuses should be attended and other industry-specific events to discover possible internships or work employments. In addition, students need to leverage on online platforms, job boards and websites dedicated to linking students with work opportunities. These job sites offer detailed information about the jobs enabling potential interns to tailor their applications. Also, sending out emails to mentors in their chosen career field for unpaid internship is another way of gaining experiences related to one’s chosen career field. ·        Help your teen find work experience      Reach out to your contacts - Social Groups, friends, family, colleagues and neighbours      Personal Professional Network -  LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, and social media platforms      Open Career Fairs on Campus -  Sign-up for your teens to attend career fair organized in school.        Contact companies directly – Via email or in person Volunteering - Local farm, zoo, hospice, food bank, library, clinics, festivals and museums.

July 1 is just around the corner and ET Career Services has updates and changes to share with continuing students: -Yuliya Cormier will still be your Career Services Consultant. There are many new faces on campus but you'll still see Yuliya around. -You can still schedule an appointment throughout the month of June through the Student Appointment Scheduler in your one.IU. Make sure to click "Schedule with someone else" and search for Yuliya's name. Please note that drop-ins are not offered during the summer so please schedule an appointment. -ET Career Services is no longer in ET 101. It has been relocated to the third floor of the ET building in the 331 suite. -If your plan of study includes an internship class requirement, the process will remain the same. We are in the process of converting the internship forms to Purdue's system. In the mean time, continue submitting the internship forms through the ET Careers website. *Please note, if you have a summer internship and need to sign up for the internship class, all forms must be submitted prior to July 1. We will not be able to enroll students in the summer class once the transition happens.* Changes starting on July 1: -ET Career Services will become the Center for Career Opportunities (CCO). This will be part of the Purdue University Center for Career Opportunities in West Lafayette and students will have access to all workshops, career fairs, resources, and more just as the West Lafayette students do. Look through the CCO website to get acquainted. We will be adding any important information for Purdue University in Indianapolis students onto the website soon, such as information for internship course enrollment. -To schedule an appointment, students will need to do so through BoilerConnect. More communication will come closer to the July 1 date on how to schedule an appointment. -Handshake will no longer be the primary job search platform, although students will still have access to Handshake with their IUPUI emails. Instead, students will start using myCCO for job/internship opportunities, information on career fairs, and reminders about events. All Purdue University in Indianapolis career fairs, events, and workshops will also be advertised on myCCO. If you have not already created your myCCO account, please create one as soon as possible. Go to the myCCO website and click on "Purdue West Lafayette Student Log In". Have a great summer and we are looking forward to seeing you back on campus!

Exciting to know that the newly graduated students are seeking to be employed 🙃 Have you ever thought about how to support their entrepreneurship academically and practically? How many students graduated from studying Business Management or MBA by learning from people who have never managed businesses in the real world? Instead of climbing up the ladders as an old-school slogan, it is time to learn how to build their own ladders. Because we work well remotely and independently with digital communications across the lockdown. In contrast to 20 years ago, I was embarrassed to let people notice my first consultancy was a start-up from home. Nowadays, entrepreneurship from apprenticeships is a strategy for success. Happy to share my experience and case studies via YouTube (@UKHK_Learning) sooner. #LearningFromObservation #Entrepreneurship #Apprenticeship Learning-To-Learn CIC
