Activities To Facilitate Career Planning and Gaining Meaningful Employment Are you prepared to enter the job market? Do you know: what will be expected from you as an employee, how work will differ from school, what will make you a good job candidate, and how you will discover career opportunities? During this session we will first discuss the realities of the work environment. Then we will discuss some very practical topics: a career planning process, principles of structuring a resume and interview tips. Given the importance of truly understanding and remembering these principles and tips, a series of easy to remember activities will be introduced at this session. These activities encourage students to be acute observers, realize how statements may be interpreted, realize the different points of view of different employees and employers, encourage career exploration and networking. Some of the activities from these sessions may also be repurposed by psychology and engineering teaching assistants wishing to help their students to better understand human capabilities and limitations. While this session is designed to be beneficial for all attendees, special focus and examples will be used which identify with the profession of Human Factors and Ergonomics in non-academic settings. Please come prepared to participate and have fun!!! Speaker: Dr. Ronald G. Shapiro This talk is sponsored by the local and student chapters of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. |
