Will our students be prepared for the fast, changing, competitive global world?

THE EDUCATOR!

YOUR STUDENTS!
Do your students follow your lead of demonstrating above average behavior?
Do you motivate your students to show curiosity, passion, solutions finding actions.
Is your/their PQ + CQ stronger than your/their IQ ?
Do all your students earn an “A”?
If you are still doing what you have been doing for the past 20 years, then you are getting the same results!

25. CORPORATE WEBSITES ARE PACKED WITH CAREER RESOURCES

26. LinkedIn is Your New Resume
Sue Gubing
If you’re not already on LinkedIn join now!
Corporate and agency headhunters avoid advertising an open position, but go searching on LinkedIn for what employers call “passive job-seekers.”
(You ain’t lookin’ for them, but they are lookin’ for you.)
They search by keywords.

27. DON’T GIVE THEM A REASON TO ELIMINATE YOU!
“Don’t forget this: for an employer, hiring is essentially an elimination game.”
Employers look for any reason to eliminate you! Why?
To make their task of hiring easier!
Their goal: minimum # of face-to-face interviews!
Note: Skilled HR managers can scan & eliminate a resume in approx. 8 seconds!
Moral of the Story?
DON’T GIVE THEM A REASON TO ELIMINATE YOU!

28. 5.4 - the magic number a.k.a. the average number of face-to-face interviews an employer conducts… increase your odds… where are you posting your resume?
