Discussion 45: New Event

We have started the preparations for a new type of event, an Applicant RoundUp. This will be a great step for any subscriber to take to ensure a complete professional profile. We need you all to prepare as well. Continue to keep an eye out for notification of the date and location. Prepare your image and be ready to dress professionally. Update your resumes! Prepare a one minute speech discussing what work experience you have and what makes you a valued employee. This one minute speech will be for your video resume if you choose to be videotaped. We are so excited to offer this new opportunity and we know you will enjoy participating. We will post the date and location as soon as all preparations are complete.

Discussion 44 Alamo: What Is Your Work Ethic?

work′ eth`ic
n.

a belief in the moral benefit and importance of work and its inherent ability to strengthen character.
Work ethic? Do you have it?  You should always take pride in whatever type of work you do. Your work should reflect what you expect to get back from the company that you work for. If you are only giving half of your effort then you should reflect on if you are really happy to be there. If not then you should look for something you are passionate about. It’s not fair to you, your job, or the others that work with you when you only give 50% of your effort.  This is true whether you have a job or looking for work, because looking for work is your job.
Here are some questions to ask your self about when you are looking for the career that is right for you. You should get out something to write with and some paper (or in this case put into your response) :
  1. What is your relationship with the work that you have or wish to do?
  2. What are your  beliefs concerning what you should be giving and receiving from your work place?
  3. When you think of your job what are your feelings about the job that you do or want to do.
  4. Do you like your job?

 

Hoping everyone’s Mother’s Day weekend was amazing!

Discussion 43: Changes for You!

Our role at the Heart of Texas Workforce Center has changed.

You will still be able to receive services at the Workforce Center from the Center Staff.

Now, for the service that CampusJobXpress provides you. Our services will continue as usual and in fact, our services have been enhanced. We have added a Quality Assured Applicant Section that will change how you present yourself to employers.

With this new section, you will present your resume, but have you noticed that everyone puts out a resume today and you look just like everyone else. So, we added a photo and a summary of your qualifications next to it. Employers can more easily see and screen applicants. The best applicants with a combination of a great resume and a self-video presentation (one minute or less) will stand out.

We have had meetings with employers over the last few weeks and they want to see more. They want something that tells them you are the better candidate. We suggested the video presentation and the thought was that anyone can do your resume, but only you can present your video. You presenting yourself is the difference. This will not be for everyone, however. For those of you who can do this, it will present you in a very different light. If you would like to try this, let us know by email at info@campusjobxpress.com.

At CampusJobXpress, we are all trying to open as many doors for you as possible. We will be reviewing your profile on the site, looking at your resume and picture for ways to help you. You will also be getting email and messages about more jobs that are about to come our way. We now cover an area from Waco to the San Antonio Area. Things have begun to happen very fast.

For those of you who wish to be considered as a Quality Assured Applicant (an applicant who Campusjobxpress can refer as one of our best to employers), please let us know. Now, what is a Quality Assured Applicant? This is an applicant who has been assessed by us, has a good work history, a professional looking resume, has completed a video presentation of themselves and has interviewed with one of our team.

Many of you have already met the qualifications and will not have to do any more than create a short video. That’s it!

Please do not hesitate to continue contacting us through email, through Job Club or even through the Workforce Center. Stay connected!!!
