Description Some somethings require me to make a linked in account if its easier i can make the account and send you the login information UNFORMATTED ATTACHMENT PREVIEW JOB SEARCH PROJECT: PART 1 JOB POSTING & REFLECTION In order to get a good understanding of what types of jobs are out there in the field you desire, this part of the Job Search Project will require that you "search" for a job and find a position to apply to once you graduate or that you will be qualified for when you graduate. Here is what you'll need to do: Part I-A – Job Search Posting & Reflective Statement (25 points) 1. Search the Job Market – You will need to search the web to discover a position you are interested in after you graduate from your degree program. You can go to any employment search engine such as www.indeed.com, www.monster.com, or www.careerbuilder.com to find a position you may be interested in or you can go directly to a company website. Either way, once you find a job posting, you will need to save it as a .pdf file and upload to CourseDen Assignments. Then, … write a reflective statement (see criteria below): In a Word file, you will indicate what the job position is along with some of the specific details and/or job requirements mentioned in the job posting you have found. You will need to indicate WHY you believe it is a good job for you in meeting your career goals in approximately 12-16 well-written and developed sentences (based on your employment preferences and goals). You will need to save it as a .docx (Word) file and upload to CourseDen Assignments. BOTTOM LINE...you will need to find a job posting that you would apply to if you were finished with your degree. This position should be related to your degree you will be earning (so if you desire to be an officer of a company, find a position that would be a suitable stepping stone). Again, once you find a job posting for a position that interests you once you've graduated from UWG (University of West Georgia), print it out...write a brief essay of at least three paragraphs (12-16 well-written and developed sentences) of WHY you selected this potential position based on the specific qualities and requirements the employer is looking for (you will need to read the description and refer to your qualifications and how they match what the employer is seeking). You must be REFLECTIVE or points will be deducted. You will need to submit both the job posting (either in a .docx, .jpg or .pdf format) along with your reflective paragraph in the Assignment Box below. Be sure you analyze the job posting! You'll want to make sure your LINKED IN PROFILE as well as your RESUME (optional) and COVER LETTER (optional) cater to what the job posting indicates they are looking for in an employee as we discussed in class...BE SURE TO ADD THOSE KEYWORDS TO YOUR JOB SEARCH DOCUMENTS (Reflections + Linked In Profile + Optional Documents). NOTE: You may have to find a position that will "lead" into your future desired career as in many cases, you will not be qualified for your desired career when you immediately graduate from university. DEADLINE: Sunday no later than 11:59 p.m. SUBMISSION: Assignment Box. Submit both files to the Assignment Box by the deadline. Be sure you proofread and use proper English language arts (grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.) or points will be deducted. NOTE: The Job Posting Reflection Essay needs to be submitted using a .docx file. JOB SEARCH PROJECT: PART 2 SALARY SEARCH + REFLECTION This will be an easy task thanks to www.salary.com. You will go into www.salary.com. Once there, under the WHAT ARE YOU WORTH? Type in the job title and/or position you are seeking and where it is located (from your PART 1--Job Search + Reflection). Once you click search, you will need to find the exact (or close to the exact position you would be interested in "if you were already graduated"). Click on the job title (which is hyperlinked--you may get directed to an advertisement, SKIP it). From there, you will see a bell chart of salaries for that position (lowest, median, highest). Click on the links below in order to see the salary weekly, monthly, etc.; education levels; years of experience; direct reports; report to; performance. Then, on the left-hand side, click into RESULTS. You will see a breakdown of salary, benefits, detailed job info (verify this is the position you are interested in when you graduate), similar jobs (for your information), and possible job openings (for your information). Now...you will need to save this information by saving as a .pdf file (or, better yet, use your SNIPPING TOOL to save as a .jpg file). Again, you will need to save as either .pdf or .jpg (or copy and paste to a Word Document). You'll be submitting the .pdf or .jpg copy of the SALARY RANGE (BELL CHART) in the Dropbox below. EXAMPLE: Salary Search Reflection: Finally, write a brief reflection (6-12 sentences) in a Word file or directly in the Assignment box of what appeals to you about the salary, benefits, job description, and/or any comparisons you discovered. Be sure to use proper grammar, punctuation, formatting, and spelling to avoid point deductions. DEADLINE: Sunday no later than 11:59 p.m. SUBMISSION: Assignment Box. You will submit an e-copy of the SALARY RANGE (see image above as an example) for your position; you can cut and paste into a Word document or save as a .pdf file (you could also use the SNIPPING TOOL to save it as a .jpg or pic file). Plus, you need to submit your brief reflection of at least 1012 sentences of how you feel about the results (including salary, benefits, job description, and/or comparisons to other similar positions). PART 3 - JOB SEARCH PROJECT YOUR LINKED IN PROFILE CREATING YOUR PROFILE - JOINING PROFESSIONAL GROUPS - FOLLOWING INFLUENCERS (PLUS, HASHTAGS/TOPICS) - CONNECTING WITH COMPANIES/SCHOOLS You will need to go to www.LinkedIn.com in order to set up a profile to begin your digital footprint for networking. This will help you find a job and stay in touch when you have a job. This is also an incredible way to network and stay on top of up-to-date trends and topics in your chosen career field or topics of interest. Once you go to the Linked In website, you will need to follow the steps to set up your profile. NOTE: You will need to be as thorough as possible...and will need to “improve your profile” steps until all pertinent and relevant information has been posted. See CourseDen for a video and some examples. After setting up your account, one of the first things you’ll be asked will be to indicate are your skills and the experience you offer. You MUST add words to describe your skills or select at least 10 different skills (or preferably more). Look at the various choices and think about skills you “bring” to the potential position. Remember to consider the job posting requirements you found in Part 1 of the project. After determining your skills and experience, there are several different aspects to your profile you will need to go through including EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, PROJECTS, VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE, SPECIAL SKILLS, ETC. You will NEED to go through all steps (even if you “skip” some steps because they do not apply). Here are the specific requirements; you will need to complete all criteria listed below or points will be deducted (NOTE: The grade out of 350 points): **IMPORTANT** MUST BE CONSISTENT IN FORMAT WITH CAPITALIZATION ESPECIALLY IN SECTIONS SUCH AS EXPERIENCE + EDUCATION OR SEVERAL POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED. BE SURE TO DOUBLE-CHECK PRIOR TO COMPLETION A. Introduction (Professional Photo; Title; Education) (0-10)—must include a professional photo + title/headline B. Background SUMMARY (REQUIRED) (0-20)—IMPORTANT – MUST BE REFLECTIVE. Write your summary as a story of where you’ve been, where you are, and where you see yourself in the future. Highlight and talk about your skills – this should be a “story” of who you are and it needs to be personable so your personality shines through. If it is not reflective, all points will be deducted. Remember to make your summary (1) personable, (2) interesting, and (3) informative …this is your only opportunity to use your voice to sell yourself and your skills – and indicate how valuable you are (or will be) to your particular field of study or to a future employer! SKILLS + EXPERTISE (10 minimum) (0-10)—required to create +/or select a minimum of 10-15. EXPERIENCE (both paid + volunteer) (0-40)—you must put this in bullet points—do not use paragraphs of information. Type them first in a word document and copy/paste directly into the description on linked in (if you don’t type first in word, you can also add two hyphens before each point to make a bullet point). Don’t forget all your experience including paid employment; leadership in organizations; internships; volunteer work—it needs to include all your experience (again, jobs + any internships and volunteer work). Must use accomplishment statements or statements that describes to way “level” or “extent” you did something (skill or task) on the job or through your experience – this is vital or all points will be deducted. Here is a link to find out how to make bullet points on your Linked In profile: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/update-how-add-bullet-points-your-linkedin-profile-erindore-miller/ EDUCATION (0-20)—do not include high school, but any institution of higher education; or if you obtained certifications/licenses; be sure to include what degree you are expecting to achieve. Watch out for duplicating your education/institution or points will be deducted. Complete the other sections below related to education that must be completed for full points to be earned in this section. EXTRA SECTIONS RELATED TO EDUCATION: Projects & Publications – Describe and include any projects (or publications) you have worked on through your education and/or employment. If possible, attach examples of your project. Only include projects that help to highlight and showcase your abilities and skills (teamwork, attention to detail, ability to write well, responsibility, initiative, communication skills, etc.). Honors + Awards – Include and describe (if applicable) any scholarships (HOPE or other scholarships) and/or honors (such as the making the Dean’s List - be sure to indicate what institution if you attended more than one school – include the years) and/or awards (be sure to describe the award and do not abbreviate…it needs to be clear to a stranger that doesn’t know you and/or your affiliations). Clubs + Activities on Campus – Include and describe any and all clubs or activities you are a member or participate in (especially if they are relative to your interests and/or field). If you hold any leadership positions, be sure to describe them like a JOB with accomplishment statements with tasks and skills. If you are a member of a club or group, be sure to put MEMBER as your title/position. C. Groups MUST join at least 3 to 4 groups Finding Groups: There are two ways to find GROUPS. Option 1: Go to the SEARCH bar at the top of the website. You can type in a topic of interest. Once you type in the topic of interest, you will notice tabs for PEOPLE - JOBS CONTENT - MORE (directly under the SEARCH bar). If you go to MORE, you will find ALL COMPANIES - GROUPS - SCHOOLS. You should click into GROUPS. Once there, you can find a group that interests you. (NOTE: Be sure there are a decent amount of members or there may not be a lot of information to gain). Then, click on ASK TO JOIN. Once you do this, you will have to wait until the group accepts you. It will show under MY GROUPS as "pending". If you do not get accepted prior to our project deadline, use your Snipping Tool to capture the page in My Groups that says PENDING. Option 2: Go to the "WORK" tab on the menu bar (far right). Select "groups" and then select "discover groups". Linked In will recommend groups based on keywords in your profile. A lot of groups have to "accept" you. If you have any "pending" groups, take a screenshot or use the snipping tool to show the pending groups under MY GROUPS. Attach it to the submission box along with your Linked In submission. GO TO INTERESTS TAB ON TOP MENU TO FIND AT LEAST 3 TO 4 GROUPS TO FOLLOW. Best way to do this is to "search" on areas of interest such as your future career. One sure group to join is the Richards College of Business group; also, you should join the University of West Georgia group. NOTE: There are several groups out there...you need to select at least two (2). It will take several days for them to accept you...so you need to be patient. You'll need to go to your group's tab to show which groups you tried to join if they haven't already accepted you. IMPORTANT – MUST USE YOUR SNIPPING TOOL OR TAKE A PICTURE OF ALL GROUPS YOU ASK TO JOIN AS YOU MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED INTO THE GROUP PRIOR TO THE GRADING OF THIS ASSIGNMENT (SO THEY WON’T APPEAR ON YOUR PROFILE). D. Following (Interests--Influencers + Topics) MUST follow at least 3 to 5 Influencers + 3 to 5 Topics Finding Influencers (REQUIRED 3 to 5 Influencers): You must select a minimum of 3 to 5 influencers (the more the better - preferred). To "follow" various influencers, you will need to go to this website link (you'll notice some topics and influencers are recommended for you based on your Linked In profile) go to: https://octopuscrm.io/blog/top-linkedin-influencers-to-follow-complete-list/ You can also conduct your own Google search for Linked In Influencers in specific fields. Blogs and other articles will be shown that you can go in and follow influencers specific to a field or industry by selecting the PEOPLE tab. Finding Topics (REQUIRED 3 to 5 Topics or Pages): In order to find more connections to topics, groups, people, and places that match your professional interests and pursuits, you will need to go to DISCOVER MORE at the bottom left of your HOME tab in Linked In. See image below. After clicking on DISCOVER MORE, you will find popular pages and people across Linked In to network with based on your interests. You must select a minimum of 3 to 5 topics or pages (in addition to 3 to 5 people). E. Companies (2 minimum) MUST follow at least 2 Companies Finding Companies: Basically, in the top search bar, you will need to type in names of companies you are interested in or respect. You can also find top performing and interesting companies by going to DISCOVER MORE (see directions above on how to find people, companies, pages, and events through the DISCOVER MORE area at the bottom left of the HOME tab ). Once you locate the company you are interested in following, their Linked In page will appear. At the top of the page, it will allow you to "follow" them. Another way is to go to the top search bar. Then, you will need to type in names of companies you are interested in or would like to follow. See image below. F. Education (UWG & any others) MUST follow at least 1 school Finding Schools: Same as finding companies, in the top search bar, you will need to type in names of schools you are interested in or respect (only required to follow one). Once you locate the school, their Linked In page will appear. At the top of the page, it will allow you to "follow" them. GO TO INTERESTS TAB ON TOP MENU TO FIND UWG (AND ANY OTHER SCHOOL YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FOLLOWING OR HAVE ATTENDED) REMEMBER... Your audience on Linked In is your current or potential employer...so make sure your Linked In Profile makes you look like a valuable asset to the prospective company. Be sure your Linked In profile is about “contributing” to the company you either work for or a potential employer; do NOT include how you will gain from experience, etc. Again, this should be a WIIFM (What's in it for me) approach...through your words, let the employer (current or future) know you have the best interests of the company in mind! Finally, be sure to proofread…check your grammar, punctuation, and spelling for any errors. **IMPORTANT** Have someone else double-check it too! Remember, this will be on the World Wide Web and should be an excellent representation of who you are! DEADLINE: Sunday no later than 11:59 p.m. SUBMISSION: 1. Linked In Profile Screenshot(s) or PDF: You will need to print to a .pdf file (OR TAKE SCREENSHOTS) and upload to CourseDen Assignments. To do so, you will need to go to the “print” or “print preview” function of your Web browser (i.e. Firefox, Explorer, Edge, or Chrome). Once there, select your printer as “Save as PDF” or download CutePDF (which is a free pdf maker—www.cutepdf.com) and save it as a file on your computer. This is the file you will upload to CourseDen. This is really the only way to print it so that all aspects of your profile are included including who you are “following” and your “groups”. 2. Linked In Group Screenshots: As mentioned in the directions, you will need to attach this screenshot or photo (or multiple screenshots/photos if you do it individually) to the assignment box. 3. Linked In Influencers + Topics: As mentioned in the directions, you will need to attach these screenshots (or photos) to the assignment box. You can go under the MY NETWORK and click on FOLLOWING AND FOLLOWERS. See image above for this tab and location.
