00:00:01.940 --> 00:00:03.380
I'll just go ahead and say,
2
00:00:03.380 --> 00:00:07.532
thank you everyone for joining us for our career session,
3
00:00:07.532 --> 00:00:10.790
I'm Nancy Wolfe, one of the college counselors
4
00:00:10.790 --> 00:00:13.500
and Sheri Crigger's on here as well.
5
00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:17.620
And we are actually not doing this session.
6
00:00:17.620 --> 00:00:20.530
We invited our two fabulous career coaches
7
00:00:20.530 --> 00:00:22.210
from Huntsville city schools.
8
00:00:22.210 --> 00:00:24.720
And they're going to talk to you about careers.
9
00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:27.020
We talked about this session for a couple of days.
10
00:00:27.020 --> 00:00:29.750
It's great for everyone,
11
00:00:29.750 --> 00:00:31.280
and I'm gonna turn it over to them,
12
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:32.660
let them introduce themselves.
13
00:00:32.660 --> 00:00:34.593
And we appreciate you joining us.
14
00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:36.430
Hey guys we're so glad
15
00:00:36.430 --> 00:00:38.930
that you could be here with us today.
16
00:00:38.930 --> 00:00:42.170
And we can't wait to get to know you a little bit
17
00:00:42.170 --> 00:00:45.680
and talk to you about careers.
18
00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:49.603
So the first thing that I would like for you guys to do,
19
00:00:50.502 --> 00:00:52.730
if you would over in chat,
20
00:00:52.730 --> 00:00:56.510
I would like for you to introduce yourself to us,
21
00:00:56.510 --> 00:00:59.140
just tell me your first name, your high school,
22
00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:01.170
your plans after high school
23
00:01:01.170 --> 00:01:02.780
and where you see yourself in the future.
24
00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:04.780
Just to kind of think five years, six years,
25
00:01:04.780 --> 00:01:06.790
seven years down the road, where do you see yourself?
26
00:01:06.790 --> 00:01:09.040
I'll give y'all a second to do that in chats.
27
00:01:10.860 --> 00:01:11.780
All right.
28
00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:12.990
Well, welcome again.
29
00:01:12.990 --> 00:01:15.573
Thank you again so much for being with us today.
30
00:01:20.364 --> 00:01:21.523
We're gonna take a second to introduce ourselves to you.
31
00:01:23.710 --> 00:01:26.030
My name is Christie Hubbard and I am a career coach
32
00:01:26.030 --> 00:01:26.863
with the district.
33
00:01:26.863 --> 00:01:29.280
I've been here almost five years.
34
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.740
And the schools that I serve are Columbia high school,
35
00:01:32.740 --> 00:01:35.460
Huntsville high school, Lee high school
36
00:01:35.460 --> 00:01:36.820
and the Feeder Middle schools.
37
00:01:36.820 --> 00:01:40.240
So you might have seen me at some point
38
00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:42.590
over the past couple of years.
39
00:01:42.590 --> 00:01:43.423
I hope so.
40
00:01:43.423 --> 00:01:45.560
And if I'm not gotten to see you yet, hopefully, you know,
41
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.380
I'm really excited for us to be talking today.
42
00:01:48.380 --> 00:01:51.530
I do have my email address out there,
43
00:01:51.530 --> 00:01:53.330
my counterpart, I'll let her go ahead
44
00:01:53.330 --> 00:01:54.863
and introduce herself to you.
45
00:01:58.965 --> 00:02:01.333
Hey, I'm Carolyn Wade.
46
00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:06.310
I serve the schools, Grissom high school, Jemison,
47
00:02:06.310 --> 00:02:09.470
New Century, and the Feeder Middle school.
48
00:02:09.470 --> 00:02:12.700
And we are super excited about y'all being with us today
49
00:02:12.700 --> 00:02:15.953
and we look forward to diving in to careers.
50
00:02:18.310 --> 00:02:19.143
All right, guys.
51
00:02:19.143 --> 00:02:23.090
So the first thing that I would like for us to talk about
52
00:02:23.090 --> 00:02:25.260
is I'm kind of curious,
53
00:02:25.260 --> 00:02:28.860
have you ever taken a personality quiz before?
54
00:02:28.860 --> 00:02:31.330
So if you would please jump down to chat
55
00:02:31.330 --> 00:02:34.930
and tell me what personality quiz or interest assessment
56
00:02:34.930 --> 00:02:36.830
you've taken before.
57
00:02:36.830 --> 00:02:38.304
Tell me a little bit about it.
58
00:02:38.304 --> 00:02:39.160
Think it was accurate.
59
00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:40.360
If you remember the name of it,
60
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.103
go ahead and put that down there too, if you don't mind.
61
00:02:44.787 --> 00:02:46.140
All right.
62
00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:48.000
So what were you going to do today
63
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.190
we are going to talk about careers
64
00:02:51.190 --> 00:02:53.550
and I think it's really important whenever we're thinking
65
00:02:53.550 --> 00:02:56.410
about what you wanna do in the future
66
00:02:56.410 --> 00:02:57.870
and your future career,
67
00:02:57.870 --> 00:03:00.350
it's important that you like what you do.
68
00:03:00.350 --> 00:03:03.740
And so that's where I think things like interest assessments
69
00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:08.740
are very important because when you like what you do,
70
00:03:09.770 --> 00:03:11.750
especially if you like the job that you do,
71
00:03:11.750 --> 00:03:13.270
it doesn't feel like work.
72
00:03:13.270 --> 00:03:15.100
And y'all tell me in chat.
73
00:03:15.100 --> 00:03:17.180
How many years do you think you're going to have to work
74
00:03:17.180 --> 00:03:18.013
one day?
75
00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:21.383
How many years are you gonna have to work?
76
00:03:22.250 --> 00:03:26.330
I feel like I'm going to be working probably for probably 40
77
00:03:26.330 --> 00:03:28.000
or 50 years, I feel like.
78
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.940
So it's important to like what you do.
79
00:03:29.940 --> 00:03:34.860
And I do feel like as a career coach, when I, as a teacher,
80
00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:38.230
I love my job and it makes coming into work every day,
81
00:03:38.230 --> 00:03:41.560
just a joy and being able to help you guys.
82
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.060
So what we're going to do is we're going to talk about
83
00:03:45.060 --> 00:03:48.900
a particular interest assessment called the Holland code.
84
00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:51.310
So if you can see on my screen right here,
85
00:03:51.310 --> 00:03:54.310
I want you to think about, in just to second,
86
00:03:54.310 --> 00:03:59.140
what you think your Holland code would be.
87
00:03:59.140 --> 00:04:01.560
So I'm going to have an image that's gonna pop up
88
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.740
on the screen and it's going to give you
89
00:04:03.740 --> 00:04:07.090
a little bit of a description about what a realistic
90
00:04:07.090 --> 00:04:10.470
person is, what an investigative person is,
91
00:04:10.470 --> 00:04:14.330
what an artistic person is, a social, an enterprising
92
00:04:14.330 --> 00:04:16.043
or conventional.
93
00:04:16.043 --> 00:04:17.620
So you guys are gonna see this on my screen
94
00:04:17.620 --> 00:04:18.573
in just a second.
95
00:04:20.090 --> 00:04:21.520
So what I would like for you to do,
96
00:04:21.520 --> 00:04:25.400
I want you to take a minutes and I want you to look
97
00:04:25.400 --> 00:04:30.400
at these areas of the Holland code and tell me which one
98
00:04:31.810 --> 00:04:34.193
you think describes you most.
99
00:04:45.219 --> 00:04:46.052
All right.
100
00:04:46.052 --> 00:04:50.060
So let's talk about the O*Net Interest Profiler,
101
00:04:50.060 --> 00:04:54.880
it is really my favorites interest assessment.
102
00:04:54.880 --> 00:04:57.750
It's on a website called My Next Move.
103
00:04:57.750 --> 00:05:01.660
And don't worry, everything that we're talking about today,
104
00:05:01.660 --> 00:05:04.140
we're going to actually share it with you.
105
00:05:04.140 --> 00:05:05.510
So anything that you hear about,
106
00:05:05.510 --> 00:05:07.640
anything that we talk about,
107
00:05:07.640 --> 00:05:09.740
we're actually going to be sharing it with you.
108
00:05:09.740 --> 00:05:11.810
So all these websites and different things like that
109
00:05:11.810 --> 00:05:13.530
are going to be shared with you.
110
00:05:13.530 --> 00:05:16.950
So the O*Net Interest Profiler, again,
111
00:05:16.950 --> 00:05:19.290
it's on a website called My Next Move,
112
00:05:19.290 --> 00:05:22.120
it is where you will be able to take the assessment
113
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.200
and it gives you your Holland code.
114
00:05:25.200 --> 00:05:28.490
So what I wanna do is show you how to use
115
00:05:28.490 --> 00:05:32.243
this interest profiler because we won't be able to do that
116
00:05:32.243 --> 00:05:33.140
today.
117
00:05:33.140 --> 00:05:36.330
This is something that you will be able to go back into.
118
00:05:36.330 --> 00:05:38.940
So the O*Net Interest Profiler,
119
00:05:38.940 --> 00:05:41.140
whenever you go to the website,
120
00:05:41.140 --> 00:05:44.390
you will see that it starts
121
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.590
talking to you about how to answer the questions.
122
00:05:48.590 --> 00:05:51.810
So the big thing about the O*Net Interest Profiler is,
123
00:05:51.810 --> 00:05:53.130
and this is what I tell students all the time
124
00:05:53.130 --> 00:05:55.490
as they're taking an interest assessment.
125
00:05:55.490 --> 00:05:58.280
The more honest you are with your answers,
126
00:05:58.280 --> 00:06:01.520
the more accurate your results are going to be.
127
00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:04.010
And nobody's gonna be standing behind you.
128
00:06:04.010 --> 00:06:07.600
Nobody's gonna be judging you based on your answers.
129
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.800
It's just one of those things where you, when you take it,
130
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:11.330
try not to overthink it.
131
00:06:11.330 --> 00:06:13.140
Just literally answer the question.
132
00:06:13.140 --> 00:06:15.960
Is this something that I think I could do?
133
00:06:15.960 --> 00:06:18.530
Is this something that I've done before that I like,
134
00:06:18.530 --> 00:06:20.350
or is this something that, nope,
135
00:06:20.350 --> 00:06:23.440
no way I have no desire to ever do this.
136
00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:28.260
There are about 60 questions on this interest profiler.
137
00:06:28.260 --> 00:06:30.970
I do wanna point out to you,
138
00:06:30.970 --> 00:06:34.470
try to stay away too much from the middle
139
00:06:34.470 --> 00:06:36.830
because this little face here in the middle,
140
00:06:36.830 --> 00:06:39.800
that is kind of like, "I don't know."
141
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.260
And if you have a lot of, "I don't knows,"
142
00:06:43.260 --> 00:06:46.990
unfortunately it's going to make your results
143
00:06:46.990 --> 00:06:49.320
not be quite as accurate.
144
00:06:49.320 --> 00:06:52.030
It's so much better to either say, "Yes, I like this
145
00:06:52.030 --> 00:06:53.513
no I don't," and then kind of move on.
146
00:06:54.870 --> 00:06:57.110
So this is of what it looks like whenever you type
147
00:06:57.110 --> 00:06:58.093
the assessment.
148
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:03.440
And then at the end you get your Holland code,
149
00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:05.290
so let's talk a little bit about that.
150
00:07:05.290 --> 00:07:07.650
So I actually had taken this test.
151
00:07:07.650 --> 00:07:09.250
I've taken it many, many times
152
00:07:09.250 --> 00:07:12.500
I even to get probably back when I was your age.
153
00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:15.330
My Holland code has always been S E C.
154
00:07:15.330 --> 00:07:19.260
So I've always been Social, Enterprising and Conventional.
155
00:07:19.260 --> 00:07:22.010
And it's really not a big surprise.
156
00:07:22.010 --> 00:07:24.300
But when you take this test,
157
00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:27.850
the one really good thing that I like about this website
158
00:07:27.850 --> 00:07:32.520
is if you will take a screenshot of your answers like this,
159
00:07:32.520 --> 00:07:36.842
you will be able to go back to the website at any time.
160
00:07:36.842 --> 00:07:38.770
I'm gonna show you how to do this.
161
00:07:38.770 --> 00:07:42.050
If I go back to the O*net interest profiler,
162
00:07:42.050 --> 00:07:45.070
I can actually enter in my scores
163
00:07:45.070 --> 00:07:46.400
so I'll do that one more time.
164
00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:50.450
I go back to the interest profiler.
165
00:07:50.450 --> 00:07:53.670
I can go right here and enter my scores.
166
00:07:53.670 --> 00:07:57.370
So if I wanted to look at my scores
167
00:07:57.370 --> 00:07:59.923
and in this way it's gonna help me with that right quick.
168
00:08:01.430 --> 00:08:06.430
Okay. So if I wanted to put my scores in here.
169
00:08:06.485 --> 00:08:07.485
And they are
170
00:08:11.585 --> 00:08:12.418
hold on guys.
171
00:08:12.418 --> 00:08:13.251
Okay.
172
00:08:27.270 --> 00:08:30.330
All right. So whenever I'm putting my scores in like this,
173
00:08:30.330 --> 00:08:33.390
what is going to do, is it still going to give me my results
174
00:08:33.390 --> 00:08:35.440
so I would be able to go back at any time,
175
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.300
if I don't wanna have to go back and retake this assessment,
176
00:08:38.300 --> 00:08:40.870
I can put in my score or your score results
177
00:08:40.870 --> 00:08:43.450
you wanna put in your score results and go out there
178
00:08:43.450 --> 00:08:44.680
and look at it.
179
00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:48.490
So when you click on each one, it kinda tells you, you know,
180
00:08:48.490 --> 00:08:50.610
if you are someone who is realistic,
181
00:08:50.610 --> 00:08:52.973
it gives you some information about realistic.
182
00:08:55.670 --> 00:08:58.460
So if someone happened to choose that they felt like
183
00:08:58.460 --> 00:09:00.020
they were a realistic person
184
00:09:00.020 --> 00:09:02.030
then that means that you're really interested in working
185
00:09:02.030 --> 00:09:03.740
with plants and animals, you know,
186
00:09:03.740 --> 00:09:06.580
real-world materials like wood, tools, machinery
187
00:09:06.580 --> 00:09:10.090
think building construction, working outside.
188
00:09:10.090 --> 00:09:13.160
So for instance, if you happen to choose
189
00:09:13.160 --> 00:09:15.480
that that was something that you were interested in
190
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.330
that is a little bit of a brief description of realistic.
191
00:09:19.540 --> 00:09:21.760
If you're someone who is investigative,
192
00:09:21.760 --> 00:09:24.945
let's say that you are someone who's really inquisitive.
193
00:09:24.945 --> 00:09:28.993
You like figuring out things, searching for things.
194
00:09:30.260 --> 00:09:33.260
That's going to be more of the investigative side.
195
00:09:33.260 --> 00:09:36.210
As you can see, mine's a little bit lower on that.
196
00:09:36.210 --> 00:09:38.760
Artistic is going to be creativity.
197
00:09:38.760 --> 00:09:41.280
I love and appreciate art so much,
198
00:09:41.280 --> 00:09:43.610
but that's something that I am not very good at.
199
00:09:43.610 --> 00:09:46.980
So if you are really good at acting or music and art
200
00:09:46.980 --> 00:09:47.813
and design,
201
00:09:47.813 --> 00:09:51.730
you're probably going to have a higher artistic.
202
00:09:51.730 --> 00:09:54.430
With social, that's gonna be people that like working
203
00:09:54.430 --> 00:09:58.000
with people like talking to people, teaching, giving advice,
204
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.290
it's gonna be something that you'll see with social.
205
00:10:00.290 --> 00:10:03.090
With enterprising that's going to be kind of, you know,
206
00:10:03.090 --> 00:10:05.520
especially if you have an interest in business,
207
00:10:05.520 --> 00:10:08.670
that's going to be persuading and leading people.
208
00:10:08.670 --> 00:10:10.410
Usually they're very charismatic
209
00:10:10.410 --> 00:10:14.490
and good at making decisions, think business,
210
00:10:14.490 --> 00:10:16.910
business is what enterprising is going to be
211
00:10:16.910 --> 00:10:18.170
best suited for.
212
00:10:18.170 --> 00:10:19.770
And then with conventional,
213
00:10:19.770 --> 00:10:21.790
if you're someone who is a conventional person,
214
00:10:21.790 --> 00:10:25.180
you like to have that mind, you know,
215
00:10:25.180 --> 00:10:26.530
somebody tell you the rules,
216
00:10:26.530 --> 00:10:28.543
tell you what it is that you like to do.
217
00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:31.350
You like having a strong leader,
218
00:10:31.350 --> 00:10:33.820
that's going to be more of what you're interested in.
219
00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:35.320
So your Holland code is something
220
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.030
that if you guys remember using tutor navigator,
221
00:10:39.030 --> 00:10:41.370
which you probably did in eighth or ninth grade,
222
00:10:41.370 --> 00:10:43.420
Holland code is something that we used with you
223
00:10:43.420 --> 00:10:45.120
at that point.
224
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.550
This is just a different version of an assessment
225
00:10:48.550 --> 00:10:51.860
where you get your Holland code information.
226
00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:52.780
So I'm going kinda,
227
00:10:52.780 --> 00:10:54.970
we've already gone through a little bit of this.
228
00:10:54.970 --> 00:10:59.093
So the next thing that you will look at as you're taking
229
00:10:59.093 --> 00:11:02.430
your assessment and looking at your results
230
00:11:02.430 --> 00:11:04.030
is the jobs zone.
231
00:11:04.030 --> 00:11:05.730
So I've taking my assessment,
232
00:11:05.730 --> 00:11:07.960
I've looked to see what my Holland code is.
233
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:09.930
The next thing that I wanna do is look at
234
00:11:09.930 --> 00:11:11.530
what are the job zones.
235
00:11:11.530 --> 00:11:14.510
So jobs zones are basically, what is that education,
236
00:11:14.510 --> 00:11:17.320
what does that preparation that you need to do,
237
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.130
or that you're willing to do to be able to go out
238
00:11:20.130 --> 00:11:21.900
and get some of these careers?
239
00:11:21.900 --> 00:11:26.900
So everybody, hopefully here on our zoom session today
240
00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:30.130
is at least medium job preparation.
241
00:11:30.130 --> 00:11:33.378
So what that means is everybody's gonna graduate.
242
00:11:33.378 --> 00:11:36.570
Everybody's gonna walk across the stage, hopefully in May.
243
00:11:36.570 --> 00:11:38.450
And that means that you're gonna at least
244
00:11:38.450 --> 00:11:40.240
have your high school diploma.
245
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:42.440
So let's say that you're looking for a job right now.
246
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:43.273
You know,
247
00:11:43.273 --> 00:11:44.260
let's say that you're wanting to work
248
00:11:44.260 --> 00:11:45.510
while you're in high school.
249
00:11:45.510 --> 00:11:47.747
You could look at the medium job preparation
250
00:11:47.747 --> 00:11:49.990
and that would give you some jobs that would be a good fit
251
00:11:49.990 --> 00:11:52.710
for you based on your interests.
252
00:11:52.710 --> 00:11:54.820
Now, high job preparation.
253
00:11:54.820 --> 00:11:57.640
That's going to be if I plan to graduate
254
00:11:57.640 --> 00:12:00.750
and then I'm going to go to college after,
255
00:12:00.750 --> 00:12:03.560
or doesn't necessarily mean for your college,
256
00:12:03.560 --> 00:12:07.090
it could be going to some sort of training.
257
00:12:07.090 --> 00:12:08.850
It might be that you're wanting to do some sort of
258
00:12:08.850 --> 00:12:09.900
on the job training.
259
00:12:09.900 --> 00:12:12.100
It might be that you're wanting to go to a four year college
260
00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:13.270
a two year college,
261
00:12:13.270 --> 00:12:16.340
but you are doing some sort of job preparation.
262
00:12:16.340 --> 00:12:19.869
Now, extensive job preparation is gonna be anything beyond
263
00:12:19.869 --> 00:12:22.170
a bachelor's degree.
264
00:12:22.170 --> 00:12:25.882
So as you are looking at the job zones,
265
00:12:25.882 --> 00:12:27.514
and again,
266
00:12:27.514 --> 00:12:29.070
I have some little slides that kinda show you
267
00:12:29.070 --> 00:12:30.440
a little bit about that.
268
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.250
But your jobs zones,
269
00:12:32.250 --> 00:12:34.140
you can change them right up here at the top.
270
00:12:34.140 --> 00:12:36.500
So if you're looking at the information on job zone three
271
00:12:36.500 --> 00:12:39.880
and move it over to job zone four and then job zone five.
272
00:12:39.880 --> 00:12:43.290
So remember everybody right now is at job zone three.
273
00:12:43.290 --> 00:12:46.630
And then you're looking at job zone four and five, you know,
274
00:12:46.630 --> 00:12:49.667
based on what you're planning to do after high school.
275
00:12:49.667 --> 00:12:51.690
So the nice thing about this interest assessment
276
00:12:51.690 --> 00:12:53.610
is whenever it gives you your results,
277
00:12:53.610 --> 00:12:57.100
it shows you your best fit versus your great fit.
278
00:12:57.100 --> 00:13:01.000
And they're both really good jobs that you might
279
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.420
wanna consider based on your calling code and your interest.
280
00:13:05.420 --> 00:13:07.080
So I'm gonna jump back over here
281
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:09.600
so that we can look at some of
282
00:13:13.110 --> 00:13:13.943
these.
283
00:13:15.710 --> 00:13:18.723
I'm gonna go ahead and do job zone four.
284
00:13:20.940 --> 00:13:21.773
All right.
285
00:13:21.773 --> 00:13:23.910
So if I wanted to look at some of the jobs
286
00:13:23.910 --> 00:13:25.980
that were my best fit,
287
00:13:25.980 --> 00:13:29.184
I'm going to go ahead and look at,
288
00:13:29.184 --> 00:13:30.520
I'm just gonna go ahead and put up
289
00:13:30.520 --> 00:13:32.480
human resources manager.
290
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:34.515
What I want you to notice,
291
00:13:34.515 --> 00:13:35.348
(coughs)
292
00:13:35.348 --> 00:13:36.181
excuse me,
293
00:13:36.181 --> 00:13:39.270
with the sunshine those are jobs that are going to be
294
00:13:39.270 --> 00:13:41.250
in demand over the next few years.
295
00:13:41.250 --> 00:13:43.050
And the thing about that guys is, you know,
296
00:13:43.050 --> 00:13:44.880
it's really important to think about looking at jobs
297
00:13:44.880 --> 00:13:47.550
that are gonna be in demand, because that means whenever
298
00:13:47.550 --> 00:13:51.320
you get ready to go out and plan for your training
299
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:52.690
after high school,
300
00:13:52.690 --> 00:13:55.230
make sure that whatever it is that you're going into,
301
00:13:55.230 --> 00:13:57.790
that there's going to be a need for that job.
302
00:13:57.790 --> 00:13:59.840
And usually when there is a demand,
303
00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:02.350
it's probably gonna be a lot easier for you to get a job
304
00:14:02.350 --> 00:14:04.460
and it could even lead to a little bit more money.
305
00:14:04.460 --> 00:14:07.290
So if you wanted to go out and kind of look to see
306
00:14:07.290 --> 00:14:09.207
what would be a good fit or what would be a best fit,
307
00:14:09.207 --> 00:14:13.170
I'm just gonna go ahead and click on human resources manager
308
00:14:13.170 --> 00:14:15.470
so that I want you to be able to see the information
309
00:14:15.470 --> 00:14:17.123
that you can get from this.
310
00:14:18.350 --> 00:14:22.690
So you can do or look at all kinds of information there.
311
00:14:22.690 --> 00:14:26.010
Most of these will have a career video that you can watch
312
00:14:26.010 --> 00:14:29.180
where it kind of goes over all of this information,
313
00:14:29.180 --> 00:14:31.530
except that it's just kind of in a video form,
314
00:14:31.530 --> 00:14:34.500
it tells you like for instance, human resources manager,
315
00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:38.250
it would tell me the other names that are titles
316
00:14:38.250 --> 00:14:40.970
that someone might have in that position.
317
00:14:40.970 --> 00:14:43.650
It tells me what they do
318
00:14:43.650 --> 00:14:45.780
and kind of some of the jobs that they do
319
00:14:45.780 --> 00:14:47.950
so kind of look through that because obviously
320
00:14:47.950 --> 00:14:51.250
I have picked some things in my interest assessment
321
00:14:51.250 --> 00:14:53.530
that are probably gonna be some keywords
322
00:14:53.530 --> 00:14:55.080
that are related there.
323
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:57.720
Especially with your knowledge, skills, and abilities.
324
00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:59.220
Again, everything that I had taken
325
00:14:59.220 --> 00:15:01.000
with that Holland code assessment,
326
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.290
it's tying that back to why that would be a job
327
00:15:04.290 --> 00:15:05.890
that would be a good fit for me.
328
00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:08.030
Personality.
329
00:15:08.030 --> 00:15:09.070
And with any of these,
330
00:15:09.070 --> 00:15:10.550
especially anything that's hyperlinked,
331
00:15:10.550 --> 00:15:13.560
you can click on to even learn more about it.
332
00:15:13.560 --> 00:15:15.420
It even tells you the technology,
333
00:15:15.420 --> 00:15:19.010
like what kind of software, you know, you might need to use
334
00:15:19.010 --> 00:15:22.500
what you're going to be doing you know,
335
00:15:22.500 --> 00:15:24.960
what kind of technology you might need.
336
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.830
And then it tells you what that, again, that sunshine,
337
00:15:28.830 --> 00:15:30.460
that bright outlook,
338
00:15:30.460 --> 00:15:32.890
a neat thing that you can do is you can even go out
339
00:15:32.890 --> 00:15:36.340
and look at the outlook based on, you know,
340
00:15:36.340 --> 00:15:37.730
different states.
341
00:15:37.730 --> 00:15:41.530
You can go out and look at information
342
00:15:41.530 --> 00:15:43.730
based on different regions of the state
343
00:15:43.730 --> 00:15:45.540
if I wanted to do that.
344
00:15:45.540 --> 00:15:48.370
And then you can also look for training.
345
00:15:48.370 --> 00:15:51.630
So if I'm out of here under education,
346
00:15:51.630 --> 00:15:54.920
I can go out and look just, you know for sort of patients.
347
00:15:54.920 --> 00:15:57.050
I can look for licensing.
348
00:15:57.050 --> 00:15:58.710
I can look for apprenticeships,
349
00:15:58.710 --> 00:16:01.100
or I could even look for a college information.
350
00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:04.950
So if I wanted to go and look to see what colleges
351
00:16:04.950 --> 00:16:09.370
happen to offer human resources in Alabama,
352
00:16:09.370 --> 00:16:10.750
then it's going to give me a list
353
00:16:10.750 --> 00:16:13.480
of all of those colleges.
354
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.070
And then again,
355
00:16:15.070 --> 00:16:18.013
it will take me to the Auburn site so that I can get
356
00:16:18.013 --> 00:16:19.790
more information that will say if I wanted to go to Auburn.
357
00:16:19.790 --> 00:16:23.590
So all of this information I'm able to get from this
358
00:16:23.590 --> 00:16:26.850
three assessment that's out here.
359
00:16:26.850 --> 00:16:28.880
Let's say that you go through it, and you're like,
360
00:16:28.880 --> 00:16:29.980
"I really like this.
361
00:16:29.980 --> 00:16:32.380
I'm not sure that I like everything about it."
362
00:16:32.380 --> 00:16:35.010
It gives you even a few more options
363
00:16:35.010 --> 00:16:37.940
where you can look at some other jobs that are very similar.
364
00:16:37.940 --> 00:16:41.240
So again, I really feel like this interest assessment
365
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.860
is a great assessment for you to pay as a career coach,
366
00:16:44.860 --> 00:16:48.920
Ms. Wade and I normally this one, or we have a few more
367
00:16:48.920 --> 00:16:51.620
that we use, but we're usually gonna have you
368
00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:54.610
take something like this so that we can kind of figure out
369
00:16:54.610 --> 00:16:56.200
what would be that best path.
370
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:58.220
And so, again, it's you're making plans
371
00:16:58.220 --> 00:17:00.400
for what you're doing after high school.
372
00:17:00.400 --> 00:17:02.890
Thinking about what you're interested in,
373
00:17:02.890 --> 00:17:05.443
what you want to do is very important
374
00:17:05.443 --> 00:17:07.030
that you're thinking about your career.
375
00:17:07.030 --> 00:17:10.913
So now I'm gonna turn it over to Ms. Wade.
376
00:17:13.210 --> 00:17:15.270
So what we're gonna look at now
377
00:17:15.270 --> 00:17:17.350
are some other helpful resources.
378
00:17:17.350 --> 00:17:19.900
So once you've taken that interest assessment,
379
00:17:19.900 --> 00:17:22.980
and you've kind of gotten an idea of the pathway
380
00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:24.280
that you wanna explore,
381
00:17:24.280 --> 00:17:27.840
that maybe you wanna do next year after you graduate,
382
00:17:27.840 --> 00:17:31.515
we've got some other resources that can be helpful for you.
383
00:17:31.515 --> 00:17:33.980
The first one I'm gonna take you to is called
384
00:17:33.980 --> 00:17:34.813
a Smart Place.
385
00:17:34.813 --> 00:17:39.813
And a Smart Place is done by the Huntsville Madison chamber.
386
00:17:39.930 --> 00:17:43.303
And you can go, you'll log in and you'll have to create
387
00:17:43.303 --> 00:17:44.590
an account.
388
00:17:44.590 --> 00:17:47.510
And I've already got it signed in for time purposes.
389
00:17:47.510 --> 00:17:51.480
But under here, you can see that you can search careers.
390
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:54.640
You can begin looking at different careers.
391
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.090
So if you've taken that interest assessment
392
00:17:58.253 --> 00:17:59.217
and then you can come here and say,
393
00:17:59.217 --> 00:18:04.070
"Okay, I know that I want to further my education.
394
00:18:04.070 --> 00:18:07.680
And I know that I want to go into engineering."
395
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:12.680
Then you could search and it will come up with different
396
00:18:13.390 --> 00:18:16.397
videos that you can watch.
397
00:18:16.397 --> 00:18:20.030
It also has the number of job postings and positions
398
00:18:20.030 --> 00:18:21.630
that are available.
399
00:18:21.630 --> 00:18:23.610
Now, this is just for our area.
400
00:18:23.610 --> 00:18:27.230
Unlike Christie had on the O*net where
401
00:18:27.230 --> 00:18:28.340
you could pick anywhere.
402
00:18:28.340 --> 00:18:31.070
This one is specific to the Huntsville Madison,
403
00:18:31.070 --> 00:18:33.040
North Alabama area.
404
00:18:33.040 --> 00:18:34.880
But these have great resources.
405
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:38.240
So if you wanted to do architect,
406
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:40.800
there are no jobs available right now,
407
00:18:40.800 --> 00:18:44.300
but I could look and see what exactly is an architect.
408
00:18:44.300 --> 00:18:46.390
How much money am I gonna make?
409
00:18:46.390 --> 00:18:50.399
What is it gonna take for me to be an architect?
410
00:18:50.399 --> 00:18:52.920
Then again, it comes to the personality.
411
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.670
We can tie that back to the personality interest assessment
412
00:18:56.670 --> 00:19:00.070
that we just took different skills that we need
413
00:19:00.070 --> 00:19:04.510
and relate that back to our interest assessment.
414
00:19:04.510 --> 00:19:06.310
So we can show related careers.
415
00:19:06.310 --> 00:19:09.490
Maybe I didn't necessarily want to be an architect,
416
00:19:09.490 --> 00:19:12.320
but something along those lines.
417
00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:16.460
And again, it's gonna give you some matches
418
00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:19.020
that go along with that career.
419
00:19:19.020 --> 00:19:21.660
We've got tons of videos out there
420
00:19:21.660 --> 00:19:26.020
that if you want to just look at videos about a certain,
421
00:19:26.020 --> 00:19:28.460
you get something on your interest assessment
422
00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:31.090
and you don't know exactly what it is.
423
00:19:31.090 --> 00:19:34.867
Then you can come here and you can type in a career,
424
00:19:38.250 --> 00:19:40.420
and it will pop up a video.
425
00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:43.490
All of these have been filmed in North Alabama.
426
00:19:43.490 --> 00:19:44.370
I think it's really cool.
427
00:19:44.370 --> 00:19:45.960
And I know we have a Lee high student,
428
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.400
so they actually chose Mr. Woods
429
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:54.610
to do a filming and you can see principals.
430
00:19:54.610 --> 00:19:57.430
So category is education and administrator,
431
00:19:57.430 --> 00:20:01.040
and you can click on the video and watch Mr. Woods
432
00:20:01.040 --> 00:20:03.400
as he talks about what he does
433
00:20:04.270 --> 00:20:07.070
in the career of education and administration.
434
00:20:07.070 --> 00:20:10.120
We also have Mr. Lee, who's a Lee high school,
435
00:20:10.120 --> 00:20:11.550
secondary teacher.
436
00:20:11.550 --> 00:20:13.450
So the cool thing about this site is,
437
00:20:13.450 --> 00:20:17.455
is it's related to North Alabama smart careers
438
00:20:17.455 --> 00:20:20.820
here in our region.
439
00:20:20.820 --> 00:20:24.200
So this is another resource that you can use
440
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:27.310
to start researching once you've found a match
441
00:20:27.310 --> 00:20:30.810
using that career interest assessment.
442
00:20:30.810 --> 00:20:33.080
Another thing on here that I wanna point out is that they
443
00:20:33.080 --> 00:20:34.573
do have a resume builder.
444
00:20:35.470 --> 00:20:37.230
If you want to use that,
445
00:20:37.230 --> 00:20:40.970
you can explore different jobs that are in the area,
446
00:20:40.970 --> 00:20:43.603
as long as just career exploration.
447
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:46.080
Going back.
448
00:20:46.080 --> 00:20:48.890
So next thing, and I know we're running out of time,
449
00:20:48.890 --> 00:20:52.023
so I wanna show you the hot jobs.
450
00:20:53.080 --> 00:20:57.660
Ms. Hubbard talked about choosing a job that's in demand,
451
00:20:57.660 --> 00:20:59.940
and this is kind of a one pager for Alabama.
452
00:20:59.940 --> 00:21:03.060
And it talks about different jobs
453
00:21:03.060 --> 00:21:05.763
that are going to be in demand.
454
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:08.390
The thing that I really like about this
455
00:21:08.390 --> 00:21:11.760
is it is categorized by skill.
456
00:21:11.760 --> 00:21:14.200
So in type of education that you need,
457
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:18.140
so it starts off with a doctorate master's degree,
458
00:21:18.140 --> 00:21:21.748
and then it goes all the way down to something that you
459
00:21:21.748 --> 00:21:24.853
could do right out of high school once you get that diploma.
460
00:21:26.090 --> 00:21:26.923
It also,
461
00:21:26.923 --> 00:21:29.480
because I know we all want to earn money
462
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:30.790
and that's very important for us.
463
00:21:30.790 --> 00:21:34.440
It also list your salary,
464
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:37.860
the average salary for that occupation.
465
00:21:37.860 --> 00:21:40.430
So this is a one pager that you can click on.
466
00:21:40.430 --> 00:21:43.540
There's also one for just North Alabama.
467
00:21:43.540 --> 00:21:47.490
So you can kind of compare what's in demand here
468
00:21:47.490 --> 00:21:50.490
in North Alabama versus what's in demand
469
00:21:50.490 --> 00:21:51.970
in the state of Alabama.
470
00:21:51.970 --> 00:21:56.970
So those are two that you can lean on as you start deciding
471
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:01.143
maybe, which do you want to do after high school.
472
00:22:02.070 --> 00:22:06.590
The last thing, I'm not gonna go over all these others,
473
00:22:06.590 --> 00:22:08.930
these other two, but you can look at these,
474
00:22:08.930 --> 00:22:13.260
all of this will go live, and this is our website.
475
00:22:13.260 --> 00:22:16.767
So our website you'll see senior resources.
476
00:22:16.767 --> 00:22:19.850
And this is everything that we want you to kind of
477
00:22:19.850 --> 00:22:22.030
be thinking about your senior year
478
00:22:22.030 --> 00:22:25.680
and that Ms. Hubbard and I are here to help you.
479
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:27.900
The first thing is resume tips.
480
00:22:27.900 --> 00:22:30.220
All of you probably have a resume
481
00:22:30.220 --> 00:22:31.830
that maybe you're building it.
482
00:22:31.830 --> 00:22:35.690
You want to make it even better as you start applying
483
00:22:35.690 --> 00:22:37.760
to colleges and jobs.
484
00:22:37.760 --> 00:22:40.750
So we are here to help you with that resume tips
485
00:22:40.750 --> 00:22:45.750
and even job interview tips as you are looking for a job
486
00:22:46.420 --> 00:22:49.490
maybe to do your senior year
487
00:22:49.490 --> 00:22:54.200
or even after if you just need some job interview help.
488
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:57.470
Also, Ms. Hubbard talked about training programs
489
00:22:57.470 --> 00:23:00.730
because on the O*net, it will list
490
00:23:00.730 --> 00:23:04.820
different training programs that may be in your field.
491
00:23:04.820 --> 00:23:07.790
So we've got all of the different training programs
492
00:23:07.790 --> 00:23:11.580
here in Alabama, a lot of them are in North Alabama,
493
00:23:11.580 --> 00:23:13.180
but you can click on all of these.
494
00:23:13.180 --> 00:23:14.450
These are all linked.
495
00:23:14.450 --> 00:23:17.340
So it takes you, if you're interested in the military,
496
00:23:17.340 --> 00:23:20.170
you can click on the military and it will take you
497
00:23:21.190 --> 00:23:25.540
to their website to gain more information about that.
498
00:23:25.540 --> 00:23:27.270
All of these,
499
00:23:27.270 --> 00:23:30.150
we are more than happy to help you with
500
00:23:30.150 --> 00:23:32.270
any of these training programs.
501
00:23:32.270 --> 00:23:36.600
A couple of them do have applications and we have not gotten
502
00:23:36.600 --> 00:23:41.600
the dates just yet, but they will open up in fall of 2020.
503
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:44.000
Then you've got your job search tools.
504
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:46.500
So we've gone over a smart place,
505
00:23:46.500 --> 00:23:48.380
but there are several more.
506
00:23:48.380 --> 00:23:51.113
And that's what Ms. Hubbard and I are here for,
507
00:23:52.230 --> 00:23:55.560
you know, all of your senior year to help you explore
508
00:23:55.560 --> 00:23:57.733
and to utilize these tools.
509
00:23:59.470 --> 00:24:02.480
You've got wonderful college counselors.
510
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:06.440
So they are here really alongside of us
511
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:09.030
to help prepare you for your next step.
512
00:24:09.030 --> 00:24:12.630
And so we've got your listed Ways To Pay For College
513
00:24:12.630 --> 00:24:14.700
and then their website, they're number
514
00:24:14.700 --> 00:24:18.610
one under other resources as well.
515
00:24:18.610 --> 00:24:23.500
So on our website, right here's a link, click
516
00:24:23.500 --> 00:24:26.410
that will take you to our information.
517
00:24:26.410 --> 00:24:30.570
I'm sorry, a Google page that will send us your information.
518
00:24:30.570 --> 00:24:31.770
I'm sorry about that.
519
00:24:31.770 --> 00:24:34.760
So we are here and ready to help y'all
520
00:24:34.760 --> 00:24:39.220
and help you succeed to the next step after high school.
521
00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:42.060
So if we can help you in any way,
522
00:24:42.060 --> 00:24:44.730
please come to our website.
523
00:24:44.730 --> 00:24:47.003
I believe Ms. Hubbard is going to put,
524
00:24:48.630 --> 00:24:49.730
we're gonna put it up.
525
00:24:54.940 --> 00:24:59.940
Here is the link to today's presentation,
526
00:25:00.620 --> 00:25:02.720
as well as our website.
527
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:05.330
So please go and visit it,
528
00:25:05.330 --> 00:25:06.540
do your research.
529
00:25:06.540 --> 00:25:08.640
We've got all of the links on there.
530
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:10.453
So if you go back to it,
531
00:25:11.510 --> 00:25:15.690
you can see the career exploration workforce information.
532
00:25:15.690 --> 00:25:18.740
Unfortunately, we're out of time to go through all of that.
533
00:25:18.740 --> 00:25:21.340
But if you fill out our Google form,
534
00:25:21.340 --> 00:25:25.150
we'll be sure to contact you so that we can help you
535
00:25:25.150 --> 00:25:28.440
further your exploration and get you on the right path
536
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:32.133
so that you can succeed after high school.
537
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.163
All right, guys, does anybody have any questions?
538
00:25:40.280 --> 00:25:41.910
We've got the chat up
539
00:25:42.900 --> 00:25:45.570
Ms. Hubbard and I are monitoring the chat
540
00:25:45.570 --> 00:25:48.853

541
00:25:50.320 --> 00:25:52.963

We do have that form that Ms. Wade just showed you
546
00:26:07.410 --> 00:26:10.580
to where you can schedule a individual,
547
00:26:10.580 --> 00:26:14.390
or we could do students meeting
548
00:26:14.390 --> 00:26:16.600
we could do a student parent meeting,
549
00:26:16.600 --> 00:26:18.850
so just let us know any way that we can help you,
550
00:26:18.850 --> 00:26:21.494
because as career coaches we're here to help you.
551
00:26:21.494 --> 00:26:22.340
We want you to be successful.
552
00:26:22.340 --> 00:26:24.790
We want all of y'all to be able to walk across that stage
553
00:26:24.790 --> 00:26:29.700
and go on and do wonderful things (indistinct)
