Potential Assistance
for Students in Higher Education Plus More
There is a
website that I found that held several different articles related to jobs
during your years in higher education. You could browse the articles by topics
such as “Inclusion and Diversity,” “Job Search Advice,” or “Workplace Issues” (www.higheredjobs.com/career). There are also
several career resourses available on the site, and students should take
advantage of what is available on the website. The site also has a section
where students could create a profile and update their CV’s and apply for
different jobs available to students. They also are offering a professional to
writers to write a CV or a resume for students in higher education.
The reason
I want to bring this source up, is because I want to include it in my
literature review for class. The only reason I have not added it to the
literature review is because there are several different sources on this site
and I am not sure the proper way to cite this website. I am not pulling
information from specific articles but rather the site’s homepage. I really do
think this source could be beneficial to all students in higher education, and
it resembles the position I held during my undergrad internship. I helped
students and peers with writing their resume or their CV, I also assisted with
interview skills and applying for the next step. So if I figure out how to include
this site properly in APA format, I will include it in my group’s literature
review.
On the
bright side, I interviewed my person for the Case Study we have to come up
with. I have not chosen the theory yet, but I got a lot of information that I
can use in my paper. I interviewed a coworker of mine, since I am new to my job
I thought it would appropriate to pick one of my coworkers to use as my
participant in this project. In my mind not only will my participant and mine’s
relationship at work be better but it will also work for my project. He was
really excited to be asked to be interviewed, since he is also going for his
master’s in school counseling he realized that he has someone else to talk to
about school counseling and classes.
On a side
not, I was wondering about this week, it has been on my mind recently. I heard
that since basically every state school in Pennsylvania is going on strike. I
also heard that we should still go to class, but for this class, since it is
online what are we supposed to do. Do we continue posting, and continue with
the discussion posts? Are we supposed to continue with our work, even though we
will not have an instructor? We should probably be made aware of what is recommended
of us. What if this strike last longer
than to the end of the week? Will our grades suffer because we are losing
points for every week we don’t have an assignment? Since the professors won’t
be in contact with the students. Would this semester count as half a semester
and we will have to make up the second half of the course? Will the results
have a larger consequesnce on graduate students or undergrad students? These
questions are what have been plaguing me or the past few days.
