Scherer Schneider Paulick presented complimentary seminars for Pending College Graduates and Early Careerists to help them with their Career Direction.  According to the Board of Labor Statistics, the number of unemployed college graduates has doubled in the past few years.  Some seniors expect to be underemployed, while others are choosing graduate school over working at a job that they consider unsuitable.  In fact, 61% of graduating seniors expect to move in with their parents.  (Paul knows this from experience).  Career management is dramatically different than even a few years ago.  Flatter organizations mean fewer “career path” opportunities.  Yet, in today’s competitive market, organizations and individuals are looking for new, practical ways to achieve career success.  We provided each of the participants with insights on:

  

§          Overview of the Marketplace

§          Developing a plan for career success and how to implement it; Why it is important to do this now

§          Values; Motivators

§          Identification of Skills; What is your offer to the marketplace?  What type of company will fit your skills and general needs?

§          Demonstration of our on-line Career Guide, OI Solutions.  Individuals were given a password, which will gave them access to through the internet

§          Sample Resumes and cover letters

§          Networking

§          Interviewing

§          A Comprehensive Job Search Manual.

 

Each individual took assessments prior to the seminar.  The assessments included Myers Briggs and Strong Interest Inventories.  Participants received individual feedback and a personal session with a coach later in the day after the seminar.

We were very impressed with the enthusiasm and participation of all the attendees; we received an overwhelming response from the students and, of course, from their parents.  By providing each individual with their own set of tools to develop a career plan and to obtain job searching essentials, we believe that they now have a competitive edge and a highly effective approach to support their own Career Success.  We plan on hosting more of these seminars, in case, your son or daughter missed this event.  We will keep you informed of the next scheduled seminar.
