emerging professionals so definitely check that out on our website you will also find a resource called what can I do with this major which includes a helpful career guide for human resources including areas of employment types of employers and career preparation strategies finally I want to mention that the main Walden University website is a great source of information visit .waldenu.edu and search for your degree program to read more about potential career areas for that degree or specialization so there's a lot on the waldenyou.edu website for you okay so now let's move on to our next area the resumes and more tab we have an entire section of our website that is designed to help you communicate your academic and professional skills to employers if you're currently looking for your first HR job or will be in the future you don't want to miss these resources the resumes and more tab has General formatting tips and outlines on how to structure your resume and your cover letter it also has a list of action verbs to help you communicate your organizational planning technology management Communications leadership and other types of skills to employers we also have a helpful worksheet on the resumes and more tab to help you turn General skills and competencies into specific examples of your accomplishments to include in resumes and in cover letters you can watch several videos on effective resume and cover letter writing in this area and there is a lot more that you can learn here on this page the resumes and more page also has information about our skills first career management system which I would like to tell you about next the good news is that if you need to create a resume or a cover letter you do not need to start from scratch guildsburst is our career management system and is it it is a very helpful tool to build resumes cover letters career portfolios and even practice mock interview skills you can log into skills first using your Walden email address and password and if you are a Walden Alum who no longer has access to your Walden credentials you can also contact our team and we will provide you a special alumni access code to use this system so let's next look a little bit more closely at skills first samples skills first actually has over 500 resume and cover letter samples including over 40 Walden preferred custom samples that were created by our team and academic leaders around the university to meet the specific needs of Walden programs and students in those programs the skills per system currently has two custom Human Resources resume samples that you can use to start building your document the Cuban resources mid-level resume would be appropriate for someone who was preparing to apply for either entry level or mid-level HR positions so if you're looking to apply for HR generalist HR specialist HR assistant that would be a really good sample for you the advanced sample would be more appropriate for someone who was targeting a management or leadership role in HR we also have a custom cover letter for human resources write-in skills first that is specifically designed to highlight not only professional experience but also your academic program and academic knowledge areas which are very important to highlight especially if you're just entering the HR field helpful language is provided for you in these samples however I'd like to also mentioned that it is very important to always use your own language when creating both your cover letter and your resume documents because the samples are just there to guide you but you really want to use your own language and also always tailor your documents toward the specific needs of employers or field sites and this will help you stand out from others who are submitting General documents skills first also has a great interview prep tool that you can use to prepare for interviews if you are invited in for an interview be ready to stand out and make a positive first impression skills first has an interviews module that has over 12 000 interview questions built in to help you practice your skills and build your confidence the module includes mock interview questions designed especially for human resources interviews as well along with this tool we have an entire page with interviewing tips and videos to help you prepare for all stages of the interview process I also want to mention that if you are planning to use any of skills first modules the resumes and more tab that we discussed earlier has helpful step-by-step guides to get you started I have also um let me take a moment here and insert direct links to the guides on your resource list so let me go ahead and drop those in all right so that you have them and now just take a moment to do that for our audience so I am including two specific documents I'm including the PowerPoint and I'm also including the resource list with all of the links for this program all right so hopefully that helps that way you don't have to take notes you can refer to the resource list and get to the right resources fast and with that let's talk a little bit more about our custom job search tools one great way to research HR jobs is to use the Walden job and internship locator job board employers who contact our department are invited to post opportunities on the job board exclusively for Walden students and grads and the job board also has a list of our featured employers on its home page so these are employers who have contacted us and they want to recruit Walden grads so definitely pay a close attention to them they're great places to reach out to along with these exclusive postings the job board also pulls listings from job search Aggregates such as indeed.com and also the job board is easy to use and easy to get started with I invite you to after the session visit the job board and then create your job Seeker account and that way you can set job alerts for the types of positions that you're interested in and also upload your resume make it visible to employers who are looking for well done students and grads foreign system that I would like to introduce is going global this is a leading career and Employment Resource for Global and U.S jobs and other types of experiential opportunities since you may be potentially living or working outside of the U.S or maybe looking for opportunities after you graduate outside of the U.S maybe in global HR or international HR then this system is designed to meet the career needs of Walden's global student population and community so it's an excellent system and what we do is we work with the vendor who has career experts all over the world who curate opportunities so very powerful you can log into going global also with your Walden email and password and finally we have a list of popular Niche job boards by interest areas including management and HR now on to a few job search tips to help you maximize your searches when using these systems if you're actively job searching or maybe you're researching positions for future opportunities keeping a list of Search terms or keywords you are using in search in engines this can help you locate more opportunities that are a good fit so consider the position titles that you would like to use in your searches and the level of the position that you are seeking some common entry level and mid-level titles for HR careers may include assistant or coordinator Specialist or generalist while more advanced titles may include manager director vice president and others if you're seeking flexible employment options you may want to use Search terms such as part-time telecommuting virtual online remote or contract and look for those type of opportunities and if you're interested in specific areas of HR you may want to use them in your searches as well some examples of HR areas are recruiting benefits training and development compensation HR information systems and others and finally search using specific employer names and most importantly keep a list of your favorite employers and this proactive way is wonderful for maximizing your searches and really getting to those organizations where you fit with their mission you fit with their culture they have HR positions available and you can create a list of those organizations and really Target them and reach out to them and reach out to network with people within those organizations for more job search and career exploration tips our website offers a multitude of webinars and videos to help you hone your career skills we have a large number of recordings that you can watch at your convenience including programs and resume writing enhancing your professional image getting started with LinkedIn and there's so many others out there we also have a YouTube channel that has over a hundred recordings in addition to our website so there there's just tons of information for you out there we also have many resources to help you gain new skills and experience and also expand your network so let's talk about those next information about experiential learning can be found in the job and internship search section while the networking tab is where you can find information on how to expand your online and offline networks of course gaining experience and having a strong Professional Network these are key strategies for your overall career success on this slide you see three ideas for how to gain experience in Human Resources especially if you are in the process of making a career transition they are especially important if you do not have any prior experience in the field or area that you are going into one way to gain experience is through skills-based volunteering skill space volunteering is using your professional or academic skills to help an organization our website offers a volunteer opportunities page with listings of local Global and virtual volunteer sites to help you locate the right opportunity but if you're looking for a more formal way to gain experience we do offer non-credit optional internship courses both for graduates and doctoral students but be aware that students are required to locate their own internship sites and there may be some restrictions and limitations to consider so if you are interested in learning more about optional internships please contact our team and we can provide you more detailed information and discuss next steps and finally if you are currently employed at a company or organization that has an HR department consider taking on projects that stretch your abilities and help you apply your new skills could you collaborate on a project with an HR professional or maybe start a special interest group apply your academic skills at work keep your eyes and also your ears open on how you can add value in your organization while also building experience in new areas and as a Walden student you also have many opportunities to build your network so here are just a few ideas for how to expand your networking activities professional associations especially the society for human resource management they're great places to meet other professionals who are currently working in the field of HR and also other students who are interested in HR and of course those students will hopefully someday become HR professionals so that way you're building that Network and all of you are learning and growing and helping each other LinkedIn is another uh grape waiter Network it is the largest professional networking site and it includes groups you can join to network with others in the Human Resources field Facebook groups are also excellent ways to connect with others and build your online Network Walden also offers Facebook groups that you can join to connect with students in your program ing to your start year Walden also offers a wide range of student organizations of course there is the Walden chapter of society of human resource management or Sherm but also there are others out there you can join the National Society of leadership and success the Multicultural and international student club and there are many others out there and there are also local communities and organizations to join to get involved so for example many non-profit organizations need help behind the scenes with things like administrative projects or you could even offer to deliver a training for their employees based on your knowledge of Human Resources and these are just some ideas to help you get started and finally before we open it up for any questions today I wanted to remind you that our team is here to support you and there are three ways to engage with our staff first you can register for upcoming office hours events via the career Planning and Development homepage and these events are designed for you to interact with our staff in a

career goals and finally for short questions you can email our team at careerservices mail.weldenu.edu so thank you for taking some time to learn about career planning and development and are there any questions today any questions about our resources and offerings and we can see if any questions come into the chat uh I know we have a smaller group here today so I did want to present a few questions that we often get from students should I submit the same resume for all positions I am applying for this is a common question that we get and our team truly believes that you increase your chances of success by tailoring your resume and also your cover letter specifically toward the position that you are applying for and there are resources and videos on the career Planning and Development website to help you match your skills to the needs of employers and as I mentioned earlier the resumes and more tab it's a great place to get started with that and also our videos and webinars section um another common question we get is I have been out of work for some time and now I am re-entering the workplace should I try to explain this on my resume and our general feedback for that is that instead of drawing attention to your employment gap focus on what you were doing during that time period including pursuing your degree right um if you were busy with your Academic Program move the education section of your resume before your experience section to further emphasize your education or maybe you were volunteering in your community or involved in other professional or academic activities and if truly you were out of the workforce and you were not engaged at that time right now is the opportunity you want to take to volunteer to gain experience sometimes students especially in human resources and business management programs that I work with they are looking for maybe part-time work or to test out the waters and human resources and the American Staffing Association has list of staffing agencies for temporary or part-time or contract work many times through temp agencies you're able to enter into those entry-level positions or if you have some HR background already maybe mid-level and learn about different organizations out there gain current references and letters of recommendations from employers that you work for so those are really good strategies to kind of get your foot in the door and as I mentioned we also have optional internships and that is a good option for some students looking to gain experience all right another question I am not on LinkedIn how can I get started okay sometimes we work with students who are really active LinkedIn users and other times students are just getting started well the networking tab on our website has a wonderful launching with LinkedIn video and that can help one build a LinkedIn profile and learn the basics of LinkedIn networking and the networking tab also has valuable information about online and offline networking activities and tips for expanding your Networks and one final question unless we have more questions in the chat this will be the time to submit questions in the chat if you do have some um but the next question we often get how do I find part-time or remote positions and as online Learners many of you are also looking for online opportunities whether it's paid or volunteer opportunities and if you are looking for remote positions in your job searches when you are using the job board or going global or some of the niche job boards that I mentioned once for management and Human Resources you could put in keywords like flexible or remote or online and we kind of talked about that through the Search terms but really pinpointing what you are looking for and that can generate searches with openings not only in your general area but also you know remotely in in other areas around the country and maybe even globally and I do want to mention that going global also has a huge section for remote online virtual employment so that is a great tool if you are looking for flexible employment options also the career exploration tab has an entire section for special interest resources and there is a whole section within that section for virtual contract flexible employment so I hope I was able to tell you a little bit more about our department introduce you to some resources that may be of interest to you as you pursue Human Resources as you look for opportunities to transition into the HR field find your new HR position or your first HR position or maybe even take those steps to advance in HR if you already have experience and to wrap up today I want to thank you again for joining me please visit our website schedule a career advising
