A new week is upon us along with new content. In week 6 of the SetFocus SharePoint Masters Program students will be focused on a SharePoint Business Processes project.
From the Career Development side, this is an exciting week as students should be nearing officially engaging with their region Placement Specialist. To become engaged with a Placement Specialist a student needs to complete 3 core self marketing tools:
- Resume
- LinkedIn Profile
- Portfolio
When a student officially engages with a Placement Specialist they can expect:
- Placement Specialist is informed by the Career Development Specialist the student is ready for engagement. The Placement Specialist calls the student to introduce him/herself and hear more about the specifics of the individual job search (positions, expected salaries, geography, etc.).
- Placement Specialist will identify any hiring partners (recruiters or companies) SetFocus has in their area and connect them as appropriate.
- Submit student to any new positions that fit the students needs as they are received.
- Provide support during the job search process and answer any questions that arise.
- Constantly analyzing job search to identify if any changes need to be made to enhance results.
Students should now post their resume on key job search boards (Dice, Monster, CareerBuilder and any local sites) being sure to refresh this post every week or so. Next week we will discuss Networking opportunities. Stay tuned!
