Thus the social and professional networking is highly invaluable to engineering as together they provide a balance ultimately leading to success in the field. By definition networking simply means connecting with people or operating with a network.

...you can with your current employer? Despite knowing that you have much more potential, is there a limit for "people like you" in your organization? If so, you've hit what's known as the "glass ceiling." This is the point at which you can clearly see the next level of promotion - yet, despite your best effort, an invisible barrier seems to stop you from proceeding. Traditionally, the glass ceiling was a concept applied to women and some minorities. It was very hard, if not impossible, for them to reach upper management positions. No matter how qualified or experienced, they simply were not given opportunities to further advance their careers. Today, there are many more women and minorities in powerful positions. However, the glass ceiling is still very real. And it's not always limited to gender or race. Have you been pushed up against a glass ceiling? This can happen for many different reasons. Are you too much the champion of change? Do you have difficulty communicating your ideas? Are you quieter and less outgoing than the people who get promotions? Whatever the reason, you have a choice. You can accept your situation and be happy with looking up and not being able to touch what you see. or you can smash the glass with purpose and determination. If you do, indeed, want to break through that glass, here are some steps to take. Identify the Key Competencies within Your Organization Key competencies are the common skills and attributes of the people in your company's upper...

...Subject: Informational Interviews Informational interviews are a key networking tool for students. Learning on how an informational interview works should be an integral part of your networking and career exploration. An informational interview involves talking with professionals that are currently working in the field, and it helps you build a better understanding of their daily occupations and industry. Furthermore, it helps you build a big network of contacts from an early age. I had the pleasure of conducting 2 informational interviews. The first one was with Miss.N, she’s currently working as a manager at Motors. The second informational interview was with Mr.R, currently working for H as a of Sales. The key six learning points/observations I learned from this incredible experience were. 1) Job openings are sometimes not publicly advertised, but information is rather expressed by word of mouth. 2) The company that you select needs to fit your personality and aspirations. 3) Informational interviews are a way to build a relationship and expand your network, not necessarily a way to get a job. 4) An informational interview will help you have a better understanding of a particular industry and career. 5) The interviewees have lots of knowledge and were in your shoes a few years ago. 6) Always follow-up with a thank you note. During my first informational interview I came into the realization that most job openings were not publicly advertised, but they...

...1 Expository English Mrs. levenberg May, 4th, 2014 Career Project Section 1: Job Description/Duties The role of a financial planner is to help groups or individuals with the use of their investments, income, taxes, or savings. This includes helping people with their immediate or long term financial goals such as a small investment or retirement. This job comes with immense responsibility because a financial planner is entrusted with another person’s money, and just one wrong investment could lead to the loss of a client. Trust could take ten years to gain, and one second to lose it, and having the trust of your clients is a crucial factor in being successful in this career. I would like to be in this profession because I would be able to work with people one on one to help them build better lives for themselves. In my interview with Dan Rosen, head financial planner at Edward Jones financial, he said “One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is that I help people have a happy life, and not only am I helping them, I am also helping their family.” It is important to be in this profession for the right reasons. Once in a while there will be a client that is stubborn and doesn’t appreciate the time and effort a financial planner puts in, which would prevent me from wanting to start a career in this profession. Section 2: Personal Characteristics Needed Some of the important qualities that are needed to be happy...

...2.2 Gaining experience Learn how to acquire skills for the jobs that interest you. Gaining relevant experience can help you develop the skills you need for your career goals. But if you don’t have a job yet, how do you get either? Don’t panic. Your degree program is already helping you obtain knowledge in these areas. And there are lots of other ways to gain career skills, too -- both with and without a paycheck. Check out the many ways you can build your skills: 1. Volunteering. If marketing is your forte, help a local charity promote their annual fundraising campaign. Aspiring nurses, try teaching CPR at your local Red Cross chapter. And so on. Visit volunteermatch.org to find opportunities near you. 2. Internships and Co-ops. Use these opportunities to develop skills in your chosen field. Co-ops are usually full-time with some pay and occur when students are taking a break from studies. Internships are often unpaid and done solely for the experience. You can explore internship opportunities through our University of Phoenix Job Search tool. 3. Job Shadowing. Many companies will allow students to “shadow” a working professional to learn more about a job. When shadowing, you may be asked to perform simple tasks, which essentially serves as on-the-job training! 4. Becoming an Assistant. Being someone’s personal assistant, even on a volunteer basis, is a great way to learn more about an industry. While making coffee or setting appointments isn’t glamorous...
