#who expects college students applying for jobs on campus to have at least THREE professional references for example

[dykesynthezoid]

Today I finished an application for a position as an office assistant at my school’s office for disability services and god. The unholy irony of it being the least accessible application process I’ve encountered in my current run of job hunting.

And it’s not even just bc I applied with the school! I’ve applied for jobs with other departments at the same school before and it was a way easier process. It’s like they literally designed this specific one to be extra difficult, which makes me very wary about who’s running that office and also discourages me from ever trying to get help from them as a student

Flatiron Denver - Where I came from, Why I Came Here, and What I Think About It

Where I Came From

Who are you, anyways, Aaron Burmeister? Before coming to join Flatiron in Denver, I led a pretty unfulfilling professional life in Ellsworth, Maine. After graduating from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Biochemistry/Biophysics, I returned to my old stomping grounds with 2 goals in mind: A) Get a job at the local laboratory, The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, utilizing my shiny new degree and B) pay off my student loans. And I managed to do both of those over the next 5 years. I managed to get a job working at the Transgenic Genotyping Services group at the laboratory. They are in charge of validating a lot of the mice produced by the lab for use in research laboratories around the world. We make sure those mice have the mutations we are trying to cure. After several years, however, it became increasingly apparent that there wasn’t much vertical movement to be made - many of the better paying positions required Master’s or, more often, Doctoral degrees. However, I stayed in order to pay off my student loans because the money was good and I could live on my parents property for minimal cost. In addition, I started working on a Master’s in Bioinformatics at UMaine (as well as working my job). 

In early 2019, my girlfriend got accepted to a PhD program in Lincoln, Nebraska, and wanted to move in with me. Seeing as I had just paid off my debt, I agreed. At this point I had become somewhat disillusioned with biology. My career path would have required me to get a doctoral degree and work as a post-doc - something which I had no particular interest in. However, something I did have interest in was programming. Courses taken in the past and present drove me more and more into coding. I’ve always enjoyed using computers. Thus I started looking into ways to become a programmer without necessarily heading back to a 4-year college.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why I Came Here

I asked my cousin, who at the time was in charge of hiring new programmers and software developers for startups in NYC, for advice on which bootcamps seemed to actually deliver capable candidates. She sent me a list of a few: App Academy, Flatiron, and I can’t remember the rest. I looked up all the schools and had a few criteria for deciding: A) I value my work-life balance. I heard and read about people who went to AppAcademy work 100+ hour weeks. I thought that was insane. I’d rather take a longer boot camp that gave me time to recharge. B) I was interested in programs that offered an Income Sharing Agreement because I was running low on funds. I also felt like schools that offered these might be a bit more invested in helping me to get a job afterwards. C) I was interested in a campus relatively close to Lincoln, NE. Flatiron was the only one on the list that had one in Denver. 

These were my primary motivators to apply to Flatiron, and only Flatiron. I had no idea what the culture would be like, the instructors, or anything like that, but I did know that I wanted to learn how to be a good programmer and I would give it my all. Little did I know.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I Think About It

Now I am here, in Denver, having just finished my 3rd week at Flatiron. Here’s what I think and why:

The Culture - The culture has been kind of hard to describe, honestly. It almost feels a little surreal sometimes. It’s like a bunch of millennials got together and said “What if we took all the bad stuff out of school? What if we took all the bad stuff out of culture?”. Everybody seems to genuinely care about each other here, respect each other, and foster a learning environment. We aren’t just lectured at, but interacted with. Students are encouraged to teach other students, instructors come by just to say hi and see what you are working on. It’s honestly like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. And I’ve got to say - it feels amazingly refreshing. It makes wonder why the entire world isn’t like this. It just makes so much sense. We are encouraged to share our feelings with each other WITHOUT inviting comments from others. We’re encouraged to take risks, and fail sometimes. It’s okay to fail. Nobody is perfect.

The Curriculum - I can only speak to the first 3 weeks here, but we’ve basically covered the basics of Ruby programming during this time. Week 1 of the mod we have classes to help us to understand what we’re doing. The best part is, if you are having trouble with a particular concept, you can request a lesson on it. The staff will either host one that same day, or the next. What if you’re the only one? You can get a one-on-one session with an instructor. Week 2 is the week of the Coding Challenge. During this week we take a test of Flatiron’s design to test our knowledge gathered during the previous week. The best part is, you can take it up to 4 times. You can go in, realize you need to brush up on a particular concept, study that night, come in the next day, and totally nail the challenge. It takes the edge off compared to an exam in school, where you only have one shot (not to mention a lot of times tests can vary wildly in style between professors). Week 3 is Project week. This is the week where you either work by yourself (in the latter half of the boot camp) or you work with a partner to bring a project of your own design to fruition. I’ll give a little detail on my first project week below. At the end of the week, you present your projects in front of the entire boot camp. That’s it. There are no visible grades to stress over. Once again, very refreshing.

The Instructors - This is the highlight that I was not expecting when I came here. All the instructors care about you. They walk by, engage you in conversation, help you to improve your projects, and want you to succeed. It is obvious by how they speak that they care about the students and that they treat it more than just a job. They are all very friendly and approachable to boot. The respect they give us reflects the values of Flatiron. Nobody is haughty or in an ivory tower. Many of them were in past cohorts not a year before. What results is a very friendly, welcoming atmosphere. I can’t say enough good things about the instructors here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mod 1 Project Week

I just wanted to touch on this briefly. This was perhaps the best group project I’ve ever experienced, and I think that the culture of Flatiron helped to facilitate that. We had a three person group, and despite the increased logistics that demands, our project went as smooth as butter. Our communication was excellent (we all agreed on rules for the group as far as staying late, how to communicate with each other). I think we all felt like we made a significant impact on the final project. One member had to leave partway through the week - we still managed to cobble together a Zoom meeting to make a required video and give the travelling member parts to work on. Another member was having trouble understanding the code we had written so far, so the other two took several hours to stop all work on the project and make sure the third understood why we coded what we did. And it was well worth it.

I just wanted to highlight this experience because it is fairly unique (at least for me). Usually groups have one person who coasts, one who does all the work, etc. I thought it was fairly notable that our group was not like that.

At any rate I’ve rambled enough for one blog post. Future posts I make will be more technical in nature - perhaps performing a deep dive into a subject or discussing some code from a project. Thanks for reading!

Review of my dance major experience

I graduated from college a couple weeks ago, so here I am, offering my opinions on the dance program at the school I chose. I’m choosing to keep the school anonymous. If you are a high school student looking for a school with a good dance program and you choose to take my review into account, feel free to message me and I’ll give you the name of the school so you can apply or avoid it as you choose. Also, I hope you find my comments useful.

Overall, I give my university’s BALLET area a 3/10. My explanation of that score is pretty lengthy, so I put it under a “read more” for tidiness’ sake.

This is a review of the ballet area only, since that was my emphasis. I didn’t interact much with the contemporary, folk, or ballroom areas, so I don’t have anything to say about them. Also, this is just from my personal experience and is in no way a completely accurate assessment. But I’m also not the only one from this school who has these opinions. Anyway, here goes.

GOOD POINTS:

It’s generally a positive atmosphere. The students and faculty are overall friendly and supportive (there were exceptions, of course). There isn’t an insanely competitive atmosphere, either--at least, not to the degree of other places I’ve heard stories about (razor blades in a rival’s pointe shoes...what kind of jerk does that?!?). No body shaming from the other students or from the teachers. That was pretty nice. No bullying, ever.

The education was pretty good. A lot of the students are brought up to a pre-professional, or even professional, technique level by the time they graduate. I’ve improved way more these past three years than I have in my whole life, probably.

The ballet area recently started giving students the chance to choreograph on one of their companies, complete with faculty feedback. The contemporary area did that ages ago, and I’m really glad the ballet area followed because the school really needed opportunities for ballet choreography. I’ve heard that a lot of dance programs don’t offer students opportunities to present their own work at all. I was pretty lucky.

BAD POINTS:

Oh, boy. I have a lot to say.

This university markets itself as an all-inclusive, positive, “we don’t give up on anyone,” “everyone belongs” kind of place. So I was a little disappointed when that wasn’t the case in the ballet area.

My biggest problem with the ballet area is that the favoritism is insane. The faculty pretends it doesn’t exist, but I always got the vibe from them that a student is only worth teaching if the student is already an amazing dancer. If you aren’t perfect, you aren’t worth their time. The top ballet level/company (same thing--the top level is their top company) gets all sorts of special privileges. First, the teachers help them reach a professional level and help them find jobs and stuff like that. They don’t do that for anyone else. Those that start the dance major in the lower levels don’t get the help they need to succeed. Which is stupid, because isn’t that the professor’s job? To help ALL of their students prepare for the professional world?

These top dancers also get probably 90% of all the performing opportunities the ballet area offers. They go on tour, they get their own on-campus show in the big, super-nice theater, they get to perform in the lower-level company’s show (like excuse you. This is our time to shine. You get plenty of times to shine of your own. Go away), they get to be in faculty works, dance films, photoshoots, promotional videos, etc. etc.

Guess what the other dancers get? Nothing. Nada. Unless you end up in a friend’s senior project. Or if you manage to get on the lower-level company, which is hard, as I’ll explain later.

These top dancers get to break the dress code!!! They’re that special!! (Well, ok, they don’t get to break it much. You can wear lower-than-usually-allowed backs, but heaven forbid your leotard straps are thinner than an inch.)

No wonder these dancers are snobs. The teachers spoil them rotten.

My second-biggest peeve is that it’s nearly impossible to get onto said top company. The top company tends to have the same members year after year. Seriously, the cast didn’t change much at all until this past year, and that was because a lot of people graduated. Basically, auditions for this company are just a formality. The directors already have their dancers picked. Why these dancers even show up to the audition is a mystery, because they’re already guaranteed a spot (I think. That’s what it seems like). Heck, this past year, they picked someone for the company who wasn’t even going to the school yet.

This means that each year, there are only four or five open slots. And generally, unless someone really good comes along, they tend to pick their new members exclusively from the lower company. Although I think they’re trying to get more freshmen into their ranks recently, which is nice. Unless you’re not a freshman or not on the lower-level company. Because then you have no chance at all.

The lower-level company is a bit better. Only about a third of the company is repeat members. But still, the directors really like to pick people they’ve worked with before.

So basically, fifty dancers show up to audition for maybe--maybe--fifteen available company spots, despite there being about 30-40-ish (depending on the repertoire) company spots that exist. This means many dancers get turned away every year they try out.

Which sucks if you consider the fact that you need to be on a performing company to graduate in the dance program. That’s what happened to me. I couldn’t get my performing credits until my last semester, when I finally got onto the lower-level company--which, BTW, only happened because only 13 people showed up to the audition (because this was the first time this company was available in the spring semester and no one knew about it), and so by default everyone got in.

(Well, senior projects and faculty works give you performing credits, too, but as I said, only the best dancers are picked for faculty works. So basically, you better hope you have friends who are seniors.)

I have a suspicion that the directors choose company members based on body type in addition to technique, despite claiming not to. All the top company members look the same: long limbs, skinny bodies, few or no curves. Again, the lower company is better--there’s a little more diversity in body types--but all of their repeat members I’ve known have ballet bodies. I don’t know if this is, in fact, from directors’ biases, or if that body type is a mechanical advantage that gives those dancers better technique.

Also, all the top-company dancers have prettier faces. Kind of a small detail, and could be a coincidence, but it’s a suspicious detail nonetheless.

That’s dangerous. That can be really dangerous, and I came to understand that firsthand. The last two times I auditioned before I finally was accepted onto a company, I was at the right technical level and was still rejected. I’d also failed big-time at a summer workshop and competition the summer before the second audition while all the thin, pretty girls in my study abroad group won scholarships. So after that second audition, I began to worry that I wasn’t being picked because I was fat, or ugly, or both. For the first time in my life, I started skipping meals and counting calories and wearing makeup. I’m not usually worried about my looks. And if I got super insecure about my body, then other girls who do care about how they look are at a much higher risk of eating disorders because of the ballet area’s biases. And that’s not the kind of problem I was expecting to see at an “all-inclusive, everyone belongs” type of school. I was disappointed, and angry. The school told me they were better than that.

So yeah, 3/10. The education is decent, but it’s even better if you’re a good dancer to begin with. It’s a better atmosphere than most schools, but it’s still pretty political. And I’m pretty ticked that the university lied to me about their values.

Sasha Argudin Clueless About Student Loans? Get Some Help Here

Sasha Argudin Professional tips provider.  Student loans can be your ticket to the college that you just can't afford any other way. But you need to carefully think about how much debt you acquire. It can add up quickly over the 4 or 5 years it takes to get through college. So heed the advice below and never sign anything that you don't fully understand.

Remain in contact with your lender. Make sure you update them with your personal information if it changes. In addition, when you get mail from your lender, be sure to read everything. Take the actions you need to take as quickly as you can. If you miss any piece of information, you may end up spending more money.

Pay your loan off in two steps. First, make sure you are at least paying the minimum amount required on each loan. Next, pay extra on your loan with the largest interest rate instead of the one with the largest balance. This helps lower the amount of costs over the course of the loan.

Before applying for student loans, it is a good idea to see what other types of financial aid you are qualified for. There are many scholarships available out there and they can reduce the amount of money you have to pay for school. Once you have the amount you owe reduced, you can work on getting a student loan.

Pay off big loans with higher interest rates first. The less principal you owe overall, the less interest you will end up paying. Try to pay off the loans that are large first. When you pay off one loan, move on to the next. Making these payments will help you to reduce your debt.

For those having a hard time with paying off their student loans, IBR may be an option. This is a federal program known as Income-Based Repayment. It can let borrowers repay federal loans based on how much they can afford instead of what's due. The cap is about 15 percent of their discretionary income.

Keep in mind that the school may have reasons of its own for suggesting you use certain lenders. Many institutions allow selected private lenders to use the school name in their promotions. This can be very misleading. The school might get a payment or reward if a student signs with certain lenders. Make sure you are aware of all the loan's details before you decide to accept it.

Stretch your student loan money by minimizing your living expenses. Find a place to live that is close to campus and has good public transportation access. Walk and bike as much as possible to save money. Cook for yourself, purchase used textbooks and otherwise pinch pennies. When you look back on your college days, you will feel very resourceful.

If you want to see your student loan dollars go farther, cook your meals at home with your roommates and friends instead of going out. You'll spend less on the food, and a lot less on the alcohol or soft drinks that you buy at the store instead of ordering from a server.

Sasha Argudin Qualified tips provider. Be realistic about the cost of your college education. Remember that there is more to it than just tuition and books. You will need to plan for housing, food, health care, transportation, clothing and all of your other daily expenses. Before you apply for student loans prepare a complete and thorough budget. In this way, you will know how much money you need.

Be aware of what options you have for repayment. If you cannot afford to pay off your loans when you first graduate college, ask about graduated payments. This allows your initial payments to be smaller, then as time goes on they gradually increase when hopefully you are making more money.

As you explore your student loan options, consider your planned career path. Learn as much as possible about job prospects and the average starting salary in your area. This will give you a better idea of the impact of your monthly student loan payments on your expected income. You may find it necessary to rethink certain loan options based on this information.

Be certain all of your paperwork is correct. It is important that your lenders know where to reach you at all times. Read your entire agreement and be sure you understand it. If you find errors, attend to them right away. Provide any requested information in a timely manner. Begin paying back your student loans promptly.

Invest in your student loan payments. If you have extra money, put it toward your student loans. When you do this, you are investing in your life. Getting your student loans out of the way will take a burden off your shoulders and free you up to enjoy your life.

To keep your student loan borrowing costs to a minimum, consider working as a resident advisor during your last three years of undergraduate study. While you will be living in a dorm with freshmen, serving as the leaders of the building, you will also receive free room and board, which makes the duties somewhat less onerous.

Set a goal to fund your education with a combination of student loans and scholarships, which do not need to be repaid. The Web is filled with contests and opportunities to earn money for school based on any number of factors unrelated to financial need. These include scholarships for single parents, individuals with disabilities, non-traditional students and others.

Sasha Argudin Proficient tips provider. If your parents will be footing part of the bill for your student loan repayment, look for lenders that offer a cosigner release option. Many private lenders require a cosigner who must bear the burden of repayment if the primary applicant cannot meet his obligations. A cosigner release absolves the cosigner of financial responsibility after the student establishes a history of timely loan payments.

Being an educated borrower is the best way to avoid costly and regrettable student loan disasters. Take the time to look into different options, even if it means adjusting your expectations of college life. So take the time to learn everything there is to know about student loans and how to use them wisely.

6 Top Secrets To Writing A Great Cover Letter 2020

https://www.chinesescholarshipcouncil.com/?p=669&wpwautoposter=1587805089 6 Top Secrets To Writing A Great Cover Letter 2020 At best, a cover letter can help a job-seeker stand out from the pack. At worst, it can make a promising candidate seem like an uncreative cut-and-paster. Sadly, the vast majority of cover letters read essentially the same: Retreads of resumes that ramble on while repeating the obvious. Would you read one of these to the end if it were put in front of you? Probably not, and nor would most hiring managers. Of course, the Internet is full of tips and tutorials on writing a cover letter, but few of them give much useful information other than the obvious (“Use good grammar!”). So I got to thinking about what cover letter tips and techniques have served me over the years. I came up with these six golden rules for writing a cover letter somebody will actually want to read. 1) Don’t repeat your resume A lot of people write cover letters as if they were paragraph-form resumes. Fact is, your letter will be stapled (or attached to the same email) as your actual resume, so you can assume that they’ll at least glance at it (and probably with a keener eye than your cover letter). Instead, use your cover letter to show personality, curiosity, and an interest in the field you are applying to work in. My favorite pro tip: Google GOOG -0.01% around for the history of your field or company, and sprinkle some cool historical facts into your cover letter (or even use one as a lead). If I was applying for a job in tech, I might talk about how thrilling it was to see Moore’s law transform technology before my eyes, and how thrilled I am to be a part of this transformation. If I were applying for a job in fashion, I might talk about how much fashion has changed since the 80s (a lot!). Everything has a hidden history. Use it to show expertise and interest. 2) Keep it short Less. Is. More. Three paragraphs, tops. Half a page, tops. Skip lengthy exposition and jump right into something juicy. 3) Address Nobody Sometimes, you don’t know exactly who you should be addressing your letter to. Nix the generic and bland “Dear Hiring Manager” or “To Whom It May Concern”. If you absolutely don’t know who you should be addressing, then don’t address anybody. Instead, just jump right into the body of the letter. 4) Send it as a PDF Not every office computer can read .docx or .pages files, but virtually everybody can open a PDF file without any conversion. File conversions are bad for two huge reasons. First, they are just as likely to not bother and move onto the next applicant. And, second, conversions can introduce formatting errors. Both are bad. (Note: This story originally suggested .doc files. Definitely better than .docx, but, as the comments pointed out, PDF is surely better. It can’t be easily tampered with, and you have more control over how it appears on somebody’s screen.) 5) Never ever, ever use the following phrase “My name is ___, and I am applying for the position as ____”.They already know this, and you’ll sound inexperienced 6) Close strong Finish off by quickly (and I mean quickly) explaining how your experience or worldview will help you at the job. That’s key. That’s the closer. And it can be done in one to two seconds. If it goes any longer, you’re just rambling.

The Biggest Hurdles Recent Graduates Face Entering the Workforce

The Biggest Hurdles Recent Graduates Face Entering the Workforce

Don Farrall/Getty Images

“Exhausted.” “Lost.” “Anxious.” “Everything’s a struggle.”

These are just some of the ways that 54 recent college grads we recently interviewed described their experience transitioning from college to the professional world. Despite being advised to hit the ground running, many young people we spoke with felt disoriented, confused, dissatisfied, and in many cases overwhelmed with the “real world.” In addition to impacting the young people themselves and their wellbeing, this intense and challenging experience affects companies, which spend time and money recruiting and training young people to join their ranks and immediately contribute to the organization.

Some have attributed these struggles to millennials — that young people of this generation are particularly prone to struggle because of how self-absorbed and entitled they are. However our sense, from interviewing recent graduates and working closely with them as they transition from college to the professional world, is that there is something else at play.

In our view, the main reason young people struggle isn’t generational — it’s cultural. In particular: the very significant, but typically underemphasized, cultural transition between college to the professional world. We find in our research that this culture shift plays out along at least three key dimensions: feedback, relationships, and accountability.

Feedback

“Throughout my entire life from the beginning of school everything was graded. You could get immediate feedback on your performance. But at work, you’re not getting that immediate feedback… and I think that was one of the biggest challenges throughout that transition.” -Candra, 23-year-old health care research assistant

In college, feedback is clear and consistent. You have a syllabus, which details the requirements for the semester and the standards upon which you’ll be graded. And then, for each assignment you submit, you receive feedback from your professor. You don’t need to ask for the feedback — it’s provided to you directly, and typically without much personal explanation. In addition, because grades are standardized, it’s quite easy to understand your personal performance level relative to others, or relative to yourself in previous classes or semesters.

As you might imagine, the feedback paradigm shifts entirely once a student enters the professional world. For starters, the feedback you receive at work is often less consistent and less easily decipherable than in college. Depending on your manager and your organization, you might receive very clear, detailed and consistent feedback on assignments; or you might receive feedback in an intermittent and difficult-to-decipher manner, through a quick comment here or there until you have that rare official performance review. In either case, though, the feedback you receive is often more qualitative than quantitative, which can be confusing to students fixated on what their specific grade was and were they fall on the overall class curve.

As a result of these cultural differences, young professionals can experience a feedback vacuum in the professional world — wondering how to improve, if they need to improve, and how they can develop the skills necessary to improve at their firm and in their career.

Recent graduates also need to learn a new skill around feedback in the working world that wasn’t a common part of the college paradigm: how to receive both positive as well as negative feedback in a poised, professional manner. Granted, in certain rare classes, such as theater or creative writing, students may very well get useful experience learning how to give and receive feedback with professionalism. But this simply is not the case for the vast majority of classes in college where feedback is often delivered impersonally, in written form, and without much opportunity for give and take or face-to-face interaction and discussion.

Relationships

“So all of a sudden you’re hanging out with people of all ranges and types of backgrounds. And you don’t really know anything about them.” -David, a 26-year-old business strategy consultant

Relationships in the professional world are also very different from in college. In college, you build relationships with people you want to — and for the most part with people around your same age. Relationships evolve naturally through interactions in class, from extracurricular activities on campus, through friends of friends. And there’s typically very little pressure to keep up relationships you don’t enjoy.

However, once students enter the professional world, they find themselves enmeshed in a very different experience of relationship building. It’s no longer only solely about creating a group of fun, nice people to congregate with; it’s now more strategic. Relationship building in a professional environment is about developing friendships, sure, but it’s also about building a robust network of colleagues who can help you succeed at your job and advance in your career. This means interacting regularly with people of different ages, backgrounds and interests. It also means developing a connection with your boss — a new authority figure who not only tells someone what to do, but also has a lot of power over future career development.

And, sometimes, in the professional world, relationship building happens with people you don’t actually even like or want to be friends with. Unlike college, where you can simply avoid people you don’t like — like professors whose classes you can choose not to take — the same is not true in the professional world. You need to find ways to manage difficult relationships in a productive and professional manner.

Finally, how you comport yourself with a professor in one class has little if any impact on your experience, performance, or reputation in another class or department. But of course at work, interactions with your boss may have major implications on your success at your current company. If your boss complains about your performance or work ethic to other leaders, for example, it may be difficult for you to move up the ladder.

Accountability

“When you’re young coming out of college, you don’t realize what you’re walking into. You either perform or you don’t, and you could lose your job any day. Students think it’s easy-going just like school, but it’s nothing like that. It’s a lot more responsibility.” -Michael, a 27-year-old regional account manager

The entire goal of college — at least from a learning standpoint — is to develop your knowledge base and critical thinking capacity. In school, you are accountable mainly to yourself. Yes, you are occasionally on project teams, or you may partner with someone to complete a project. But in the end, though the group’s performance matters, the ultimate responsibility is to yourself, your achievement, your success and your learning.

In a professional environment, in contrast, there typically is much more at stake, and mistakes can have severe consequences. You’re not only accountable to yourself; you’re accountable to your team, to your colleagues, to your boss, to your division, and to your organization. If you fail a key assignment, damage a client relationship, mismanage an interaction with a supplier, you can’t make it up or ask for extra credit. Mistakes aren’t necessarily or exclusively learning opportunities – they can have serious consequences for your reputation and career, which adds a whole new level of pressure and personal responsibility on a young professional.

These three themes show that, while some young professionals make the transition from college to the workplace with ease, others struggle quite a bit. So what can companies and managers do to help ease this cultural transition for new professionals?

Our top line recommendation is treat this transition like you would any other significant cultural transition, and to apply best practices for cultural adaptation to the adaptation from college to the professional world. This means teaching them about the norms, the rules, and quite explicitly how and why these rules and expectations are different from college.

But smart companies will also actively promote a positive and encouraging mindset among more experienced employees as well. Leaders need to communicate the fact that everyone was young at one point and may have also experienced a challenging cultural transitions. If experienced employees can empathize with what recent graduates face, they may be more apt to attribute their behavior to cultural transitions as opposed to some sort of “entitled mindset” — or at least more open to this alternative explanation.

Mentoring is of course a critical part of this process, but remember that more experienced mentors aren’t necessarily better. What’s essential is finding mentors who have experience of both sides of the transition — who remember what the challenges were like and who have addressed and overcome them. It’s also helpful for mentors to have friends and colleagues who may have had similar experiences as well. That way, they can offer new professionals a range of options and paths for success.

Finally, in order to succeed, young professionals themselves must also be willing to take the time and effort necessary to master the transition from school to work. This could mean reaching out to other more experienced friends or family members to learn about what helped them manage their transition. It also could mean recognizing which soft skills they are lacking and developing a plan to improve them. Because in the end, what we found in our work is that the book smarts students have received from their college education will only get them so far.

Blog Post #10 - Final Reflection

    Final reflections serve the purpose as a chance for one, and in this case, myself to examine the fruits of my work in class. Reflecting on my own learning is a significant part of the learning process and the metacognitive work of reflection not only reminds us of the ways that our thinking has developed and changed but also helps us to name what we’ve learned, solidify the content of our learning and also to better understand the process of learning. The better I grasp these processes, the easier and more joyful learning becomes leading to an abundance beneficial outcomes.

    Initially embarking on a journey into a course that I had no expectations or anticipations towards, I was skeptical in respects to the amount of knowledge that I would obtain. The course description stated that J408: Demystifying Media was an advanced version of J100: Gateway to Media, a class that benefited me in the slightest bit. However, ten weeks ago when I came to class for the first time, my expectations quickly shifted. The manner in which Damian, our professor, addressed our class and what we would be doing throughout the term made me excited about the opportunities to come.

    Throughout the course of the term, our class for fortunate enough to receive the privilege of listening to an amplitude of guest lecturers. Ranging from professionals in advertising, business, entrepreneurship, public relations, media studies, design and journalism, our class gained a tremendous amount of insight. Perhaps the most beneficial insight, at least for myself, was that of one of our most recent experiences with a guest speaker. A couple weeks ago, our class took a trip to RAIN Eugene and had the opportunity to speak with Joe Maruschak about innovation and entrepreneurship.

    Some may question why I benefited so heavily from our discussion with Maruschak because I’m a public relations major, a field differing heavily from that of entrepreneurship. Although, my answer to that would simply be based on the advice he provided. Personally, I don’t think networking should be exclusive to your profession and in fact, it should be the opposite. Networking with a variety of professionals from different fields and experiences allows one to expand their perspective horizon and broaden their sense of understanding the world around them.

    The key idea that Joe Maruschak touched upon that resonated with me most heavily is that “opportunities tend to present themselves in the most unexpected fashions.” As an example, Maruschak started his career in the video-game industry and now is the Chief Startup Officer of RAIN Eugene - two very different fields. If one were to ask Maruschak if he would have seen himself in the position he is currently in 10-15 years ago, he would likely say that there would have been no way to tell. I find this to be a comforting reality because being a college student, I have no inclination of what my future holds. Often times this idea of the unknown presents itself as concerning or intimidating causing one to question whether or not they will be successful and/or if they are taking the right steps to bring them closer to success. Although intimidating, it is comforting to now know that by naturally taking progressive measures, such as attending University and being involved, that opportunities will start to present themselves.

    Another key idea that resonated with me in addition to the one previously mentioned was that one shouldn’t let their qualifications suppress their dreams. Often times when applying for jobs, I look at the list of desired qualifications and most of the time I don’t meet all of them. It is frustrating because, with such a competitive job market, the pressure to find jobs and be qualified for them is at an all-time high. Additionally, when I would job search and see that I didn’t meet all of the requirements, I would just move on to the next position/company. Knowing now that this strategy isn’t the best approach, I won’t let my qualifications suppress my aspirations from now on. Not only is putting yourself out there extremely beneficial to you and for employers seeking to get to know you, but it allows you to practice networking and social skills. These skills will only help you further in life whether it be in an interview or simply getting to know somebody. One of the most important things in life is being an individualized person and conducting yourself in such a manner that others can see that trait in you.

    The idea of being an individualized person is something that has been touched upon by numerous scholars. One of the most prominent figures to touch upon this is the theorist John F. Crosby. In his book, The Selfhood of the Human Person, Crosby explores everything that constitutes being an individualized person. Specifically focusing on chapter three, there is a presented theory of “depersonalizing actions” that essentially explains the very real difference and the gap between humans rights and those defined by corporations. Crosby states that there are three depersonalizing actions consisting of coercion, acting out of blindness and obedience. The translation and reality of these three actions are simply “action from outside will” (coercion), “impulse and emotion” (the act of blindness), and “depending on trust” (obedience). Now, clearly, these ideas seem abstract but I believe they play an important role in understanding what makes someone an individualized person. So often people get lost and begin to lose sight of themselves and instead conduct their approach to life in a way that was instituted by a corporate entity. In other words, people don’t genuinely act as themselves and I believe that this takes away from having a competitive edge when searching for jobs.

    Although job qualifications are crucial to meet, at least some of them, recruiters don’t always look for the smartest or well-qualified candidates. Instead and more commonly, recruiters will search for those who can bring individualized and unique perspectives that can progress a company/organization in some way. Crosby’s ideas on depersonalizing actions comments on the ideas that take away from being an individualized person and I believe it is important to recognize those when searching for a new position - or just in life for that matter.

    Coming full circle, my time in J408: Demystifying Media has been nothing short of beneficial. Not only did I learn a lot of important life lessons, with respects to academic and professional guidance, but I had the amazing opportunity of connecting and networking with so many experienced and diverse people. This class really opened my eyes to the endless possibilities in the working world, around campus/the community and how to be an individualized person. I can say with ease, for the first time ever, that this is a course I wish would have been more days a week. Courses like these that embody applicable skills and touch upon relevant/current things and events are the types of classes that help students the most. I wish I could take more classes like this moving forward, especially if they are taught by such an inspirational, insightful and respectful instructor like Damian Radcliffe.

     Damian, I would like to thank you directly (as I know you are reading this). You helped me in more ways than you know, thank you.

Signing off,

Charlie Walton

15 Best Online Master’s in Secondary Education Degrees for 2017

15 Best Online Master’s in Secondary Education Degrees for 2017

Middle school and high school teachers have a unique opportunity to make a profound impact in the lives of their students. 

High school students are on the cusp of their professional and adult lives. Having a teacher that encourages and supports them in their favorite subject (or in their least favorite one) can truly make a difference in that student’s life.

With a master’s degree in secondary education, teachers will be better prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities unique to middle school and high school education.

What kind of master’s degree in secondary education should you get?

You can choose to pursue a master’s degree in secondary education through either an online program or a residential program. If you’re a practicing classroom teacher, you’ll likely value the flexibility and convenience that an online program offers.

How much money do people make with a master’s degree in secondary education?

According to PayScale data, a high school teacher with a Master of Education earns an average salary of $52,923 per year. Compare this to a high school teacher with only a Bachelor of Education: Teachers who hold this degree have an average annual salary of $44,055.

With or without a master’s degree, becoming a high school teacher likely won’t make you a millionaire. But a graduate degree can lead to a healthy pay raise—and, perhaps more importantly, it will make you a more effective educator for your students.

What can you do with a master’s degree in secondary education?

The majority of graduates who earn a master’s degree in secondary education will hold jobs as high school or middle school teachers. A master’s degree will qualify educators to teach at the community college level, or to teach dual-enrollment courses for college credit at their high school.

What are the requirements for a master’s degree in secondary education?

Some graduate programs require students to take the GRE, while others do not. Certain universities require that candidates already hold a valid teaching license to apply to a graduate program. Other universities offer initial licensure programs at the graduate level. Requirements vary with each program, so be sure to speak with a representative from your school of choice if you have any questions.

What are the best master’s degrees in secondary education?

We define “best” based on two main categories: institutional excellence and student success. Using data from individual college websites, PayScale, the IPEDS database, and U.S. News & World Report, we assign each school a score in both of these categories.

The score for institutional excellence is based on student-to-faculty ratio, incoming students’ test scores, graduation rate, and endowment size. For student success, we consider factors such as financial aid packages, average tuition costs, student indebtedness after graduation, and expected early career salary for graduates.

All of these factors together allow us to provide a comprehensive ranking of the best online master’s degrees in secondary education.

1. The University of Alabama

Overview

The University of Alabama was established in 1831 as the first public college in Alabama.

The Best Day 1 CPT Universities

It’s a major move for every foreign student to plan to study in the USA. If you are earning a master’s degree or doctorate, so you will be entitled to participate in a Day 1 Curricular Professional Training program. It ensures that as you complete your education you will be employed and earning a paycheck. Why are such services in existence? The aim is to offer the students the opportunity to obtain real-life experience in their chosen area. In this post, we’ll look at the universities providing Day 1 CPT.

Selecting a U.S. university is a major, significant decision. The university you select is even more important if you want to continue working in the U.S. after university and undertake some job training in the U.S. while you are in college.

What is CPT?

The Curricular Realistic Preparation, i.e., CPT, is a mandatory system of jobs for F1 visa applicants. Completion of the degree program is required, which typically consists of supervised fieldwork. Here’s a more detailed article regarding the information you need to learn about the CPT.

CPT or Curricular Practical Training helps foreign F1 visa students to obtain job experience and work through an internship that is paid / unpaid. This position is an important part of an existing program that requires “alternate work/study, internship, co-operative college, or some other form of necessary internship or activity provided by supporting employers via co-operative school agreements.” This allows students the ability to operate full time, i.e. more than 20 hours a week or part-time, i.e. 20 hours or less.

Types of CPT:

CPT comes with three distinctions: degree-based, course and cooperative:

Degree based CPT: Requires that all graduate students undergo an internship to fulfill their coursework and earn a degree.

Course-based CPT: When it’s a requirement that all students participating in a specific course need a job to receive a grade or a course where students develop their work-based study project.

Co-operative CPT: CPT can be approved where the work is part of an existing contractual educational cooperative arrangement between the organization and a specific employer.

Why CPT Universities Day 1?

Many colleges in the USA do not allow F1 students to serve on an internship during the first semester or second semester because the experience includes specific instruction during the first semester as part of the curriculum. Here are the rules from the USCIS manual on this procedure.

Practical training can be permitted for one complete academic year for an F-1 applicant who has been lawfully enrolled in a Service-approved class, university, conservatory, or seminary. This clause often covers students who have been involved in a study abroad program during their course of studies, because the applicant has completed at least one complete academic term participating in a comprehensive research course in the United States before traveling abroad.

Exceptions to the provision for one academic year are given for students participating in graduate studies which involve immediate involvement in realistic curriculum preparation.

Day 1 CPT Universities:

If the course requires practical training, students may be eligible for CPT from the first day of the first semester, according to the F-1 visa rules. Some universities are designing programs to allow practical training from the first day of their class called “Day 1 CPT College” or “Day 1 CPT University”.

Many colleges in the USA do not allow F1 candidates to serve on an internship during the first or second semester because the program needs specific preparation during the first semester as part of the curriculum. Here are the rules from the USCIS manual on this procedure.

Practical training can be permitted for one complete academic year for an F-1 applicant who has been lawfully enrolled in a Service-approved class, university, conservatory, or seminary. This clause often covers students who have been involved in a study abroad program during their course of studies, because the applicant has completed at least one complete academic term participating in a comprehensive research course in the United States before traveling abroad.

Exceptions to the provision for one academic year are given for students participating in graduate studies which involve immediate involvement in realistic curriculum preparation.

Please make sure that the job is linked to your degree during the CPT research authorization. You shouldn’t use the CPT for longer than 12 months.

Exceptions:

Although the elements above are basic guidelines for how CPT is implemented, there are a few exceptions.

CPT can be provided during the first or second semester if needed by the student’s coursework.

Graduate students can skip one academic year of practical training requirements

Eligibility Criteria for CPT:

You will be qualifying for a CPT permit if you do:

Have valid F-1 student status

Must have F-1 status maintained properly every semester

Must have been involved in a degree-seeking program for at least one academic year before they can register for CPT. The only exception to this rule is given in the USC Catalog for graduate students whose programs involve immediate involvement in CPT and are specified as such. Students in the following Master’s degree programs do NOT have to meet the requirement of one academic year to apply for a CPT.

The applicant will have to have a class. The pre-major students do not qualify for CPT. If you are doing a minor program or a diploma system, you would not be able to use CPT.

The applicant must have a particular job/internship opportunity, and it must be linked to their class.

Students who attend exchange visits are not eligible for CPT.

The requirement for a course credit

Students are expected to enroll for 1 – 2 units in an internship course or a class that requires a USC internship during the semester they plan to do CPT. Students participating in degree programs that allow them to do an internship do not need to apply for CPT purposes as part of an internship course.

Graduate students must apply to their university department for the internship course they offer. They are required to submit their completed D-Clearance Form Request for review to their departmental staff advisor. Students of software engineering sign with ENGR 596. For additional information on CPT, please visit the Viterbi GAPP Office website. Graduate students in Business: ACCT, BAEP, BUCO, DSO, FBE, MKT, or MOR 595 record. For more information and the application for registration, visit Marshall’s website.

Undergraduate students are expected to register for MDA 250, a general internship class via USC Dornsife (unless there is a particular internship course in the department)

Day 1 CPT Criteria for the Eligibility

You are eligible on a satisfactory F-1 status to follow a full-time academic program.

CPT must be an integral aspect of a degree curriculum, as the prerequisite for the course you are taking will be.

You have to conduct a CPT in your study area.

You will have an application from CPT Work in hand before requesting authorization from CPT.

Enroll in the course credit

The applicant will be registered for 1 to 2 big internship units

CPT will be an essential part of course specifications for the student

Before submitting a CPT authorization application, the student must have a CPT job offer

Day 1 CPT Universities in the USA and Colleges First Semester CPT proposal

There are a lot of colleges and universities in the USA that offers CPT from the first semester or day 1.

Stratford University, Falls Church, Virginia – Day 1 CPT

Coleman University, San Diego, California – From Day 1 CPT

Ottawa University, Kansas Campus – Day 1 CPT

Harrisburg University of Science and Technology, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-provides CPT in the first half of the report. You will do a full-time CPT, 40 hours a week, at this Institution.

International Technological University, San Jose, California

6 Top Secrets To Writing A Great Cover Letter 2020

https://www.chinesescholarshipcouncil.com/?p=669&wpwautoposter=1587626759 6 Top Secrets To Writing A Great Cover Letter 2020 At best, a cover letter can help a job-seeker stand out from the pack. At worst, it can make a promising candidate seem like an uncreative cut-and-paster. Sadly, the vast majority of cover letters read essentially the same: Retreads of resumes that ramble on while repeating the obvious. Would you read one of these to the end if it were put in front of you? Probably not, and nor would most hiring managers. Of course, the Internet is full of tips and tutorials on writing a cover letter, but few of them give much useful information other than the obvious (“Use good grammar!”). So I got to thinking about what cover letter tips and techniques have served me over the years. I came up with these six golden rules for writing a cover letter somebody will actually want to read. 1) Don’t repeat your resume A lot of people write cover letters as if they were paragraph-form resumes. Fact is, your letter will be stapled (or attached to the same email) as your actual resume, so you can assume that they’ll at least glance at it (and probably with a keener eye than your cover letter). Instead, use your cover letter to show personality, curiosity, and an interest in the field you are applying to work in. My favorite pro tip: Google GOOG -0.01% around for the history of your field or company, and sprinkle some cool historical facts into your cover letter (or even use one as a lead). If I was applying for a job in tech, I might talk about how thrilling it was to see Moore’s law transform technology before my eyes, and how thrilled I am to be a part of this transformation.

Instead, just jump right into the body of the letter. 4) Send it as a PDF Not every office computer can read .docx or .pages files, but virtually everybody can open a PDF file without any conversion. File conversions are bad for two huge reasons. First, they are just as likely to not bother and move onto the next applicant. And, second, conversions can introduce formatting errors. Both are bad. (Note: This story originally suggested .doc files. Definitely better than .docx, but, as the comments pointed out, PDF is surely better. It can’t be easily tampered with, and you have more control over how it appears on somebody’s screen.) 5) Never ever, ever use the following phrase “My name is ___, and I am applying for the position as ____”.They already know this, and you’ll sound inexperienced 6) Close strong Finish off by quickly (and I mean quickly) explaining how your experience or worldview will help you at the job.

6 Top Secrets To Writing A Great Cover Letter 2020

https://www.chinesescholarshipcouncil.com/?p=669&wpwautoposter=1587447966 6 Top Secrets To Writing A Great Cover Letter 2020 At best, a cover letter can help a job-seeker stand out from the pack. At worst, it can make a promising candidate seem like an uncreative cut-and-paster. Sadly, the vast majority of cover letters read essentially the same: Retreads of resumes that ramble on while repeating the obvious. Would you read one of these to the end if it were put in front of you? Probably not, and nor would most hiring managers. Of course, the Internet is full of tips and tutorials on writing a cover letter, but few of them give much useful information other than the obvious (“Use good grammar!”). So I got to thinking about what cover letter tips and techniques have served me over the years. I came up with these six golden rules for writing a cover letter somebody will actually want to read. 1) Don’t repeat your resume A lot of people write cover letters as if they were paragraph-form resumes. Fact is, your letter will be stapled (or attached to the same email) as your actual resume, so you can assume that they’ll at least glance at it (and probably with a keener eye than your cover letter). Instead, use your cover letter to show personality, curiosity, and an interest in the field you are applying to work in. My favorite pro tip: Google GOOG -0.01% around for the history of your field or company, and sprinkle some cool historical facts into your cover letter (or even use one as a lead). If I was applying for a job in tech, I might talk about how thrilling it was to see Moore’s law transform technology before my eyes, and how thrilled I am to be a part of this transformation. If I were applying for a job in fashion, I might talk about how much fashion has changed since the 80s (a lot!). Everything has a hidden history. Use it to show expertise and interest. 2) Keep it short Less. Is. More. Three paragraphs, tops. Half a page, tops. Skip lengthy exposition and jump right into something juicy. 3) Address Nobody Sometimes, you don’t know exactly who you should be addressing your letter to. Nix the generic and bland “Dear Hiring Manager” or “To Whom It May Concern”. If you absolutely don’t know who you should be addressing, then don’t address anybody. Instead, just jump right into the body of the letter. 4) Send it as a PDF Not every office computer can read .docx or .pages files, but virtually everybody can open a PDF file without any conversion. File conversions are bad for two huge reasons. First, they are just as likely to not bother and move onto the next applicant. And, second, conversions can introduce formatting errors. Both are bad. (Note: This story originally suggested .doc files. Definitely better than .docx, but, as the comments pointed out, PDF is surely better. It can’t be easily tampered with, and you have more control over how it appears on somebody’s screen.) 5) Never ever, ever use the following phrase “My name is ___, and I am applying for the position as ____”.They already know this, and you’ll sound inexperienced 6) Close strong Finish off by quickly (and I mean quickly) explaining how your experience or worldview will help you at the job.
