My college has a great career service center. With graduating around the corner I’ve been working closely with a career counselor, and building strategies to get that first “real” job. In our group strategy meetings I’ve noticed a lot of alumni are interested in changing career fields. One alumni has her bachelor degree in human resources and is considering a master degree program online.
Several graduates are looking into the growing field of green jobs. As companies redesign themselves and embrace the green revolution, more workers are needed to design and implement environmentally friendly products.
The strategy groups meet monthly and create new action plans to focus their job search. One advantage of the group is the members hold each other accountable for their progress. Job searching, especially in this economy, can become quite discouraging. The social interaction with other job searchers is a great place to exchange ideas and techniques. In addition, the strategy group creates additional contacts in the corporate network.
Over the last few months, many group members have conducted informational interviews with potential employers which helps to decide what skill sets need to be updated, and provides a corporate contact in your chosen field. Many group members are considering masters MBA in business communications. In these tough economic times strategy groups can help guide a job seekers path.
