I was not aware that Purdue Global offered all those benefits for me to utilize. I particularly liked the Career Network and CS Services and building your avatar. The Career Network and Job Tracker were exciting resources for me to use. In any career networking is a big advantage and you should try to befriend as many people as you can. It is usually who you know that gets you a job. Social media, as well as all the electronic media is new to me and job searching.

The video on interviewing was helpful. Being an older student and having gone through my share of interviews, I always use them as learning opportunities. This was a great reminder to learn about the company, take a notebook and ask questions. It also helped to remind me to prepare for the questions the employer will ask. It is nice to know we have a school that’s invested in our success.

One of the best pieces of advice given in the presentation on interviews was to try to keep things professional and not personal.  This is important to me because my career goals are mostly centered at this time in my life around advancement with the healthcare organization for which I am already employed.

I know many of the leaders who would potentially give me a chance to advance in my career and they know me relatively well.  The key for me in this instance is to really make sure my professional accomplishments are highlighted whenever my number is called so to speak and an opportunity presents itself. 

Being prepared without sounding rehearsed is also an important point that I appreciate the reminder about in the career building videos.
