Summer get-together
You asked for it!
You're getting it!
This summer, we'll make a date for a lollapalooza* of Q&A.
At this summer UExplore session, you are invited to participate in a panel discussion with Academic Affairs human resource managers. At this session, you can bring all the questions you haven't had answered yet, and these hiring authorities will share all their pearls of wisdom.
Don't know what I'm talking about?
Well, I'm thinking of questions I've heard, read, (and overheard) like:
1) What do I need to say in an interview to get the job?
2) When is it appropriate to break out my professional portfolio?
3) How do I make a great first impression?
4) What do I write in a "thank you" note?
5) How can I present myself as the best candidate for the job?
6) At what point in time can I negotiate salary?
7) Is it a good idea for me to send my resume and cover letter to the HR manager even before my application has been referred?
8) What are the prospects for my hire in this field?
9) What are the biggest "no-no's" in a job interview?
10) What can I ask in an interview to figure out if this is the right job and department for me?
More details to come....
**lol⋅la⋅pa⋅loo⋅za
[lol-uh-puh-loo-zuh]
–noun
Slang
an extraordinary or unusual thing, person, or event; an exceptional example or instance.

When you look in the mirror each morning, you know what you see?
I'll tell you what: a UExplorer!
And, next month, we'll be celebrating your completion of the UExplore program. Woo hoo!

For UExplorers with more than 2 pre-approved absences, you may receive your Certificate of Completion if you make-up the missed classes at next year's program.

MBTI Homework
Take initiative to make UExplore work for you!
Consider completing the following readings and exercises prior to June 17th that were assigned by John Gates:
Consider completing the following readings and exercises prior to June 17th that were assigned by John Gates:
- Read the chapter devoted to your type in Do What You Are
- Complete the exercises in Chapter 24
In the chapter devoted to your type:
- 3 profiles of career professionals with that type
- why those careers work for that person
- common threads and themes in their chosen professions
- what career satisfaction means for them
- popular occupations for that type
- customizing your job search
- pathways to success by using your strengths
- possible pitfalls
- the final piece: changing or keeping your job...the key to success for your type
In chapter 24, the idea is to put it all together so that you match your personality to a career that you can looooove. That chapter breaks down that plan into 10 simple-and-easy steps. I've scanned those steps, and we've steadily been working through those steps via UExplore. Now, is your chance to review what you've accomplished through the program and put it all together.
- Step 1: Identify your unique personality strengths and weaknesses (Resource ideas: Do What Your Are chapter devoted to your personality type; handout from Your Listening Profile)
- Step 2: Identify and rank your work-related strengths and weaknesses (Resource ideas: Handout from Assessing Your Transferable Skills; Your Professional Portfolio)
- Step 3: Record and evaluate your criteria for career satisfaction (Resource ideas: Handouts from Career Planning)
- Step 4: Record your observations of specific situations where your current or past jobs met your career satisfacton criteria (Resource ideas: Your Professional Portfolio)
- Step 5: Think about your strongest interests, as in what activities do you enjoy so much that you would do them for free (Resource ideas: Handout from Goal Setting)
- Step 6: Identify your skills (Resource ideas: Checklist inside Do What You Are)
- Step 7: Generate a list of possible careers or jobs that are of interest to you at this point (Resource ideas: Career Field Overviews and Career Panels)
- Step 8: Analyze each career option asking: how well does it make use of your best skills and abilities; how well does it make use of my work-related strengths; and how well does it meet my top five criteria for career satisfaction? (Resource ideas: Career Field Overviews and Career Panels; Your Professional Portfolio;
- Step 9: Research your potential career options (Resource ideas: Career Field Overviews and Career Panels)
- Step 10: Celebrate your successes (Resource ideas: Your Professional Portfolio)

Questions about MBTI?
We introduced you to the MBTI tool and type theory almost 9 months ago. By assessing your own personality type and knowledge of your preferences for taking in information, making decisions, and attitudes in interacting with your environment, you gained additional tools for understanding and identifying your natural interests and work values.
In June, we'll be revisiting MBTI and type theory. This is another chance for you to evaluate how your type connects to a best‐fit career.
To make this session work for you, what essential questions do you want to be addressed by our guest presenter, Grace Balch?
What is it that you'd like to learn more about in order to help you identify and meet your professional goals?
Email me and call me with what we can do to make this an effective session for you!
