Furthermore, volunteers who participated in this initiative were given incentives also pushed a desire to do the best. “Employee volunteers were told that their commitment to the program would ultimately help all workers enhance their long-term career opportunities at Walgreens; generating great interest among employees, and the company quickly identified the appropriate number if volunteers to kick off the initiative” (Jackson, Mathis, & Valentine, 2014, p. 328). In addition to the kickbacks given to volunteers, these employees also benefitted by being able to control their own career prospects at Walgreens. It was necessary to rely on employee blueprints to enhance career management in the company because it “identified possible employment paths that operated through a variety of career tracks; provided the proper training activities and enhancement opportunities that facilitate the accomplishment of career goals; and positioned the company as a desirable employer” (Jackson, et al., 2014, p.

For the third PIP, I chose to visit the Career Services Center. Career Services Center are located in room 133 of the Mountainlair Building, on the downtown campus. The Director of the program is David Durham. They offer a wide variety of services for students.

The mission of the Career Center is, “to design and deliver high-quality career services to UNT students and alumni through collaboration with campus, local, and global partnerships” (Career Center, 2014). This is supported by their vision statement, “Empowering students and alumni to identify and achieve individual goals for career success” (Career Center, 2014). The mission and vision statements both closely align with the Council for the Advancement of Higher Education (CAS, 2015), the National Association Colleges and Employers (NACE), and The University of North Texas (UNT). According to the UNT website, the mission of UNT is, “a major public research university deeply committed to advancing educational excellence and preparing students to become thoughtful, engaged citizens of the world” (Mission, 2015). The Career Center complements the mission of the institution by providing services that enable students to pursue

Honestly, how corrupt is the Catholic Church? What are they trying to hide? These are just some of the questions Geoffrey Chaucer undoubtedly asked himself while writing the “Canterbury Tales”. Unphased by the option of the Catholic Church he set about to write a story in which voiced his unadulterated opinion. The Canterbury Tales begins as a pilgrimage decides to visit the relics of Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral.

What type of career services do you feel would benefit new graduates the most? Explain why. I feel there are a few career services that would benefit new graduates. The first one I would choose is getting help through the college that they graduated from. I think this one would be the most beneficial to the new graduate because the school has connections. They can teach you the best way to write your resume. They can also set up interviews for you. Career fairs would be a career service that would benefit new graduates. I have never been to one myself but at a career fair, you would have a chance to meet and talk to a potential employer. Career fairs are beneficial because you can make networking contacts. So even if the job they are offering

I was given the opportunity to get to know some recruiters and look into some possible internship opportunities with them. Being located in the nation’s capitol, I’m positive that the career services center along with GWork could help me polish myself to become the potential employee I aspire to be.

Today I had the opportunity to attend the Business and Technology Career Fair. Since I am a junior and previously a business student, I have some experience with this fair. My visit this time was very different from my two prior years since I am now a Kinesiology major and I am somewhat of an outsider to the majority of companies offering internships. Upon reading the requirements of this assignment I was unsure about who I was going to speak with but little did I know I would only have to do half of the work.

The counseling center at Mountain Home Career Academy would like express our excitement and appreciation that you are going to attend our Career EXPO on February 03, 2017.

At the Career Services event I met a lot of people, such as faculty, students, the Johnny and all. It was a very fun and informative session that exposed me to new ideas, new opportunities etc. The students that I met there were really kind and caring they were funny and well informed of their tasks, they knew everything about what they talked about and they were very helpful with directions. The dean that I met and spoke with is Dean Palastro. She asked me what my major was and I told her Criminal Justice. We then went on to talk about my major and what it really is and what I should expect and that I’ll be just fine.

The Career Fair at NCSC was like the Bryant Career Fair on steroids – I have never seen anything like it. With over 40 companies across the nation, it was a lot to take in. Overwhelming at first, but beneficial in the long run. By networking with different companies for two days, I was able to build confidence in myself. Because I was a sophomore, I was considered a baby because companies were looking for juniors and seniors in terms of internships. But with the amount of networking I was able to do, it has only made me more eager to see what types of opportunities are presented when I do meet the qualifications of junior and senior
