Welcome to your orientation, my name is Carol Stamm, Employer Relations and Job Development
Specialist in the College of Business and Innovation and basically I work with the Graduate
Programs Office in doing your searching for jobs, resumes, and other things because after
all you come to school for an education but you still do need to find a job after you
graduate and that's where I come in.
That's one of the areas that I do work with.
First I want to just, make a side note, and the side note being is I do write your resumes
with you personally, one on one, but not until you get closer to the semester for graduation.
That's basically, where I follow that guideline because you need to get some classes under
your belt, you need to understand your major and where you're going along that line so
I prefer, and have set this pretty much this way, to basically when it gets closer to your
semester of graduation, that's when I will work with you on it and help you in every
way that I can on getting your resume set up for your new position.
One question that we get a lot in orientation is this, it is about the employers and how
and what do they ask for in majors.
So basically we did a survey, at one of our job fairs, where there were over 100 employers
there and we asked them, and as you can see on your screen Marketing was about 37% and
now that includes sales and that.
But a lot of them basically said any: 19%.
They are willing and these are some of the different companies that we talked to, companies
that we do deal with here that have opportunities for students in all majors or just specific
areas too.
I also wanted to talk about the upcoming events that will be available to you and this available
if you are working and want to look for another job or if you just coming in straight from
your undergraduate but in the Business Programs Office on the fourth floor of Savage and Associates
building we have events one of them being right before our big job fair that I will
discuss later, is Mock Interview Days.
You can see the dates on the screen and actual employers come in and do these mock interviews,
we go from like 8:30 - 9:00 in the morning to 4:00, it's a half an hour interview, and
they give you feedback.
And we also have resume critiques for two days, and these again are employers again
looking at your resumes and making suggestions for changes.
The job fair this year will be Thursday, September 27th.
Then also we do an etiquette dinner, that's on October 18th.
Now that involves, the fact that we have a lady that comes up from Cincinnati, At Ease Etiquette,
she goes through the procedures that you need to know on having dinner with employers.
Making sure you understand exactly what you need to know do, how to handle yourself.
A lot of employers, especially in the Accounting area, are doing this with students.
They are taking them out to dinner, and having conversations with them, and you will learn
what to do, what not to do, in that type event.
Now I just have some pictures up of screen about job fair.
It does fill up, we had last fall, we had over 600 plus COBI students there and over
100 plus employers.
And they are all there just for the business students, those are the ones that they are
really interested in and that's what our Business Career Programs Office deals with on the fourth
floor of the Savage and Associate building.
So this is a great event to come to, this is a great event to meet new people, network,
and start working on your career get a feel for what's going on.
The one thing that we just took on this year and we are very, very, excited about is called
Handshake.
It is the Business Career Service Platform.
This particular Handshake is something connected with over 475 colleges around the United States,
8 million students and alumni, and over 200 plus employers, and 165 thousand recruiters.
That's all out on Handshake.
And we have purchased this platform and we are putting it together and offering it to
every student in the College of Business.
As you can see on this screen, it says utoledojoinhandshake.com you follow that link go into there and follow
what it says, now you need to definitely, enter your, go through your rocket email,
and you need to enter it with your firstname.lastname@rockets.utoledo.edu I am saying that because some people get UTAD@rockets
and that will not work.
You are in the system as soon as you start school here, under your firstname.lastname
So, this particular program is amazing because you can search companies all over the globe.
You can search companies here, you can set up your own profile in it and the profile
is very, very close to what LinkedIn looks like.
You can put your picture out there, do all the things that you do with LinkedIn, you
can connect with other students looking for different things.
It's just open to so much, and it's enclosed. And in Handshake it's not like it's out on the internet and everybody can see what you are doing and what's going on. It's more along that line that it's inclusive.
And it's like again who's hiring, almost like what they have here, 100% of fortune 500 out there. I have heard 95-100%.
But it's out there for all of you to look at. To explore. Thousands of jobs, you can discover jobs that may be made for you. You may be like "oh my gosh, this is always what I wanted to do!"
You can track all kinds of information and connect with employers and then meet potential people as well.
And basically the cool thing is, this app, there is a mobile app right now for anyone with an Apple. Just follow the instructions as you're going into Handshake.
And you have it right there that you can watch it, search it all the time on your phone. The Android app is coming this fall.
And once it is out we will make the announcement. So I'm just saying, think about joining Handshake to learn, grow, and repeat.
And if you do have problems or any situations, the Business Career Programs Office, again is on the Savage Business, Savage & Associates Business Complex 4120. We will gladly work through anything to help you get on Handshake!
It is a valuable, valuable asset! So that's what I wanted to share with you and I welcome you to the College of Business and Innovation!
And wish you a very, very good semester coming up this fall.
