When considering recent graduates for jobs, employer surveys have shown that employers place more emphasis on work experience—especially experience gained while in school—than they do on academic credentials (such as GPA and major). Reflect on your level of experience to see how you will stack up against the competition when you are ready to enter the job market and think about what you can do to ensure success: 1.Do you currently have experience in your target career field? If so, how many years and what type of experience? How will this experience help you as you advance your career? (If you are not yet sure of your specific career target, than make a note of that, and pick a field you might be considering from your research in Phase 2 of the class.) 2.If you do not yet have experience in your target career, what are some of things you will do to get experience (volunteer, internship, job shadowing, etc.)? How might you find ways to gain experience? Where would you want to do this? When would you ideally want to start getting your experience? If you are advancing in your current career, how will you gain new experiences to help get you to the next level? 3.What are some of the resources and support you might have available to you to help you create a plan to get experience?
