Reality Check for Soon-to-be
Grads: Making the Transition from Transcript to Paycheck
As a student about to embark on a career, your focus is about to
undergo a monumental shift. To date, your focus has been on
learning and earning credentials that will make your skills
attractive to employers. Your focus soon will be on presenting
yourself as a must-have job candidate. School may have made you
knowledgeable about many things, but it hasn't prepared you for
the work world. And your future employer expects you to come to
the table having that knowledge. The "permanent record" of
the rest of your life begins with your first "real job." Learn
how to:
• Set realistic expectations
• Dress appropriately for work, regardless of the organization's
atmosphere
• Ace an interview
• Get through a business dinner without being shuttled to the
children's table
• And much more!
Nuts & Bolts for Newbie's
You're new to the work-a-day world. Fresh faced. Champing at the
bit. Eager to dig in and make a difference. The enthusiasm and
energy younger professionals bring to the table can be
refreshing. But mentors are in short supply today, so figuring
out how to be a true "professional" can be elusive. Consider
this presentation your personal guide to finding your way
through the twists and turns of the 9-to-5 maze. Your employer
will breathe a sigh of relief knowing that it's safe to unleash
you on customers and the outside world.
You will learn:
• What your employer expects from you … and assumes you know
• How to convey "experienced" … even when you're not
• How to start networking and make valuable connections
• Workplace do's and don'ts on topics ranging from calling in
sick to gender differences and leaving a job gracefully
Social Graces, Business Places
Conducting yourself appropriately is important in the office, at
a business lunch, a formal black tie affair, the company holiday
party or any social function related to business. Every office,
business and industry has its own unwritten code of behavior and
rules. Understanding the expectations of your employer and
others will give you a powerful advantage. Building a reputation
that lets others know you are able to handle any situation
competently and discreetly will help you become known as a
person who is reliable and professional.
As a result of this workshop you will:
• Increase your ability to be a good conversationalist and make
small talk
• Build rapport quickly and easily with everyone you meet
• Identify the most common mistakes people make at business
events
• Handle yourself at any event from the company picnic to a
five-course meal
