At tomorrow's meeting, Carol will revisit an earlier tip posted on this blog: navigating the Online Job Description Library.
By accessing this Library, you can screen job descriptions based on:
* title code
* working title
* incumbent name
* supervisor name
* department name
* Vice Chancellor unit
For an example of how to perform a specific search, review January 30th's Blog post.

TIP: Blink Buzz
I got a great tip during a meeting of the minds with the Academic Affairs Fiscal Advisory Group. Actually, our very own Adam DiProfio was the one to proffer the information about BLINK BUZZ.
Have you heard of it?
It's the site that'll keep you up-to-speed with all the information that comes and goes on BLINK, with a special emphasis on changes that are occuring with existing and new policies, practices, and procedures.
The site segments the happenin' news according to categories, including:

The site segments the happenin' news according to categories, including:
- people
- facilities
- buying
- safety
- technology
- finance
- travel
Why is it nice to know about this? By checking in on the Blink Buzz, you demonstrate that you are proactive and knowledgeable about the developments in the career fields. You don't have to check all of them, but even just scanning the news could help expand your knowledge base.
Just sayin'...

TIP: Get funding for career development training?
I love the Staff Equal Opportunity Enrichment Program (SEOEP)! And, now it can be your best friend too!
The Staff Equal Opportunity Enrichment Program (SEOEP) program provides individual awards up to $500 for training activities to help cover tuition/ book expenses for career development activities.
While the application period is not open yet, I feel it in my bones that it's going to happen really soon. So, why not get a head start by perusing the application requirements and selection criteria....

TIP: The S.T.A.R Method
You all have great ideas!
In the evaluations for last month's session, one of you pointed out that using the S.T.A.R. Method would be a good technique for answering questions during an interview.
As an extension of that idea, it's also a good tip to use the S.T.A.R. method for your professional portfolio. For example, start by anticipating a question you might be asked in the interview for that career field. Then, think about an experience that answers that question. Try to describe the experience using the S.T.A.R Method. Write it down using the S.T.A.R method. You don't need to write down a long narrative; just write down enough to help jog your memory.
The S.T.A.R. Method is a way for you to effectively respond to behavioral interviewing.

- SITUATION - give an example of a SITUATION you were involved in that resulted in a positive outcome
- TASK - describe the TASKS involved in that situation
- ACTION - talk about the various ACTIONS involved in the situation's task
- RESULTS - what RESULTS directly followed because of your actions

TIP: The Online Job Description Library
And, a-ha!
There were some great ideas and questions in the responses I've read so far. For example, a question asking about short job descriptions for the different job levels in a specific career field.
I'll admit that I am not an expert in classification analysis, but I do know where the experts work and, better yet, where they keep their work.
*hahahaha*
The Online Job Description Library is a great resource for you to surf the whole gammut of job descriptions at UC San Diego. By accessing this Library, you can screen job descriptions based on:
* title code
* working title
* incumbent name
* supervisor name
* department name
* Vice Chancellor unit
So, to answer the question:
How do I get short job descriptions for the different job levels in a specific career field?
One answer:
1) Log in to the Online Job Description Library
2) Find out the title codes of the career field series using the Title & Pay Plan
3) Input a title code into the Online Job Description Library
a. to narrow the search, input data into the other optional fields
4) Click "Retrieve Selections" to bring up a list of job descriptions that meet the search criteria
5) Repeat step 3 and 4 using other title codes in the career field series
Variation:
Instead of using title codes, you can use working titles. For example, if you have an interest in human resources, key words like "personnel" or "human resources" would be useful. If you have an interest in financial administration, key words like "fiscal" or "financial" are options. Likewise, "student", "advisor", or "academic" could bring up relevant hits.
