My invocation prior to our luncheon in the Caucus Room of the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C. on Friday, July 11, 2008 at the close of the NCDA 2008 Global Conference.

However we may choose to experience, appreciate, and express our spiritual nature that is rooted in our unqiueness, our life story, our culture, faith tradition, the practice or non practice of a specific religion, or simply our awareness of an essence many refer to as God, but somehow connects all of us as humanity, as we now come together to break bread - Bless the food we are about to eat, that it may nourish our bodies for the work that needs to be done, Bless the hands that prepared it and now serve it.

We ask for wisdom of mind and heart that we learn to honor our sameness and at the same time celebrate our diversity.

Let us form effective alliances based in integrity and right relationships that give fruits to important insights and appropriate advocacy that promotes and delivers excellent career development for all people across career and life roles and throughout their life span and doing this in ways that support peoples fullest potential and contributions of their unique talents to their families, communities, our nation and our planet.

We seek to accomplish greatness in the work we do, with a humble spirit and firmly grounded in gratitude.

Let us now enjoy our most delicious and excellent lunch.

Create a hard copy portfolio of your career development process.
Start with a 2” loose-leaf binder with a clear plastic window on the front cover.
Divide the binder into the following sections (using large tabbed dividers):
•    Who am I? (self-assessments)
•    Where am I going (information and resources, field research)
•    How am I going to get there? (goals/intentions and implementation strategy).
•    What are my sources of support? (networking contacts)
Sub-divide the “Who am I?” section with small tabbed dividers labeled with each assessment category; i.e. skills, interests, values, personality traits, family influences, environmental preferences, learning style, and inner motivations.
Enter into the “How am I going to get there?” section samples of work, such as writing samples, budgets, IT reporting samples, artwork, graphics, and website samples.

Example: Section 2: Where Am I Going?

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.

Dr. Seuss, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"*

Imagine yourself in your ideal work environment. Here's what I would write, " I sit in my writing garden under dappled sunlight, inviting others to share their life stories. Together we bask in filtered light, figuring out how to create the future by reflecting upon the past and being fully in the present. "

 I intend to use my ability to generate ideas and my desire to help people reach their potential to to help caregivers balance career, caregiving, and self-care.

The clearer your vision emerges, the more likely it will come true! At least that's what happened to me. When you can articulate your ideal work setting to others, you are even closer to creating that environment.

The Job Juggler course has a lot of great information that can help me guide my clients through the job search process.  For example, the motivation of reminding them the most successful job search strategies are not just looking for jobs in the classifieds or online, but actually knocking on employers doors, networking with friends and family, asking for jobs leads, and looking in the yellow pages.  People need to know what they want in life for a career. I can remind them that there are many career assessments available either online or at the local one stops, high schools or colleges.  Along with learning about their interests, finding a mentor, would be a good idea. The job juggler explains this quite nicely and gives a lot of information about mentoring programs. Job Juggler also suggests doing an informal interview with employers to learn more about the careers so that job seekers can make sure that it is the career they want to go into.  This is a very helpful section and I find it very useful for my clients.

 Job Juggler has information explaining what employers most value in skills for their employees, the knowledge skills: planning, acquiring, searching and organizing.  This is good to know when creating resumes.  This is another area that the Job Juggler has great information and I shall use with my clients when creating resumes.  Job Juggler explains the three different types of resumes along with tips on when one would use the resumes and why one would use that resume.  Another great piece of information that Job Juggler informs us on is the portfolio.  That section is very informational and is very motivational for clients  who just recently graduated from college and are looking for employment.  I will be using this information for my recent graduates. The Job Juggler has a lot of informational tips for job searching/resume writing/interviewing.  It is a great resource for clients, job counselors, employers, and employees to use.  I would recommend the information I gained from this to all my clients and will continue to use the information while I work with my clients. 

Job Counselor 2, Private Industry Council

The Job Juggler e-course had made changes to my professional and personal life.   I find myself not only changing how I will work with clients and their job search strategies, but also my own resume and job searching.  Completing the learning program has been a very positive experience.

Job Juggler has given me some new teaching strategies as well as wonderful resources that I have not been aware of.  I will be creating a new website resource for my clients.  Currently, there is a sheet created for our clients that contain resources for job search.  I would like to change that form to also include the websites that can help with Resume writing, as well as the other resources that were brought to my attention through the coursework.  

Another change that I will follow up with, is creating an activity folder for clients.  I liked the process that was done in the course work.  I think it makes clients problem-solve for themselves and take more ownership in the job searching process.  I am very excited for the positive change that can occur.

Another teaching tool that I thought was helpful was the CLIMB used in teaching interview skills.  This word association will be great teaching tool. 

Something that will affect my clients and myself was the awareness of  using ASCII for creating resumes and sending them by email.  This was something I was not aware of , and  it will be a great asset.  It is a big concern that when you email a resume to an employer, that the format will change.  Everyone works hard on getting the format to the right structure, and you want to show that to future employers. This also keeps the professional image intact.

Another job searching tool, that will affect my clients and myself will be creating portfolios.  I really didn’t have an understanding of them until I completed this learning session.  Creating a portfolio can really set the job seeker apart from other job seekers.  I also work at a Career Center at a two year college and think this would be a great service we could provide like the college from Florida. 

I always felt that a person needs to keep their resume up to date.  After taking the Job Juggler course, I  find that I am excited to change my format.  I currently have Chronological format and will be changing it to a combination format, that will reflect my skills and accomplishment better.  The Job Juggler course made t he change easy by giving me an outline to start with, and I can adapt my resume from that template.

I have some changes I need to make in my professional and personal life due to the completion of the Job Juggler course.  I was not only given the reason for the changes but also the tools to make those changes successfully.
