Description

***New lecture added on Using ChatGPT for Resumes June, 2023****

In this course you will learn how to apply tools to complete the first step to finding your ideal job role, which is knowing yourself. I will be your tour guide, walking you through the self-exploration process using my V.I.S.I.T framework. The V.I.S.I.T framework is an easy-to- use model that identifies each component of the self-exploration process, which includes prioritizing your values, gaining insight from past experiences, assessing your skills, clarifying your interests and discovering your talents.

Using simple and engaging activities called Power Tools, you will clarify your personal work preferences and build an action plan. Just like real power tools provide users with speed and efficiency to get the job done quicker, the Career Building Power Tools taught in this course will expedite and enhance your ability to pinpoint the attributes of your perfect role.

The Power Tools are Adaptable and Easy to Use

The Power Tools are in Microsoft Excel or Word format, and you will receive a copy of the templates as a resource from the course. You will also learn to use online tools available through O*Net to help you take what you have learned and pinpoint your perfect job role.

As an added value from the course, you will find that some of the Power Tools can be used to help you with decision-making, organizing information and finding root causes in areas that extend beyond finding your ideal job role.
