Recently I hired someone who was overqualified for a role. I try to never automatically reject someone because they seem "overqualified" on paper. This person that we hired: - Flew through the interview process. - Made an impression on every employee they met. - Was eager and excited about the offer, accepting on the spot. We had real conversations about where they stood in their career, and what hopes and intentions they had for their future career. "Overqualified" should not be a deal breaker. You never know: - Who is pivoting in their career. - Who realized management wasn't for them. - Who is coming from a toxic workplace, looking for culture over title. Have a quick conversation. They may be exactly who you're looking for.
Look at all the great things our career centers do for students and alumni!
5 ways that #careerservices can improve time to degree... 1?? Provide Early Career Exploration?? Guide students to align their interests with majors, reducing the chances of repeatedly changing tracks. 2?? Align Academic Interests with Career Goals ?? Career advisors can help students streamline their path to graduation. Wise time investments, such as choosing impactful co-curricular activities, are key. 3?? Boost Confidence ?? Empower students by sparking their imaginations about what's possible with effective career advising and alumni mentorship, providing realistic expectations and actionable steps for post-graduate success. 4?? Connect Meaningful Experiences ?? Support applied, experiential learning opportunities (internships, co-ops, research) tied to academic and career goals, which will help reinforce students' confidence in their preparation for life after college. 5?? Create Connections ?? Connect students with alumni, employers, and community leaders will expand students' networks, paving the way for smoother transitions post-graduation. The earlier students tap into this support system, the sooner they will realize its transformative impact. ?? So much of what career advisors and their important colleagues do is help students gain the focus and clarity they need (read: less wandering!), provide the support system to explore and leverage what the institution has to offer, and connect to those who can inspire, mentor, and hire them. Speaking as a former academic advisor and policy dean: academic advisors can do some of this work, but generally not all of it. ?? ?? If you want to improve your time to degree, you'll need to think beyond prescriptive services and consider investing in #careerdevelopment. #studentsuccess #highered #retention #timetodegree #academicaffairs #studentaffairs #careerservicestranformation
April is Internship Awareness Month! Attract a new, diverse talent pool by creating competitive internships.
Internship and co-op programs are among the most effective means employers have for identifying potential new hires. Paid internships and co-op programs ensure that employers can compete effectively for talent, help build a more inclusive pool of potential interns/co-ops, and remove legal barriers that unpaid programs face. This guide—based on actual wages and benefits provided for 2022-23 interns/co-ops—includes data for average hourly wage by degree, academic major, year of study, industry, company size, and region, plus benefits. See how your organization compares! https://ow.ly/pyjp50QWRAQ
The Wisconsin Grant Program makes it possible for Wisconsin students to attend Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges & Universities (WAICU). This Edgewood College junior from Madison, who plans to pursue a career in information technology with a concentration in cybersecurity, is poised for a summer internship at Johnsonville in Sheboygan. “The Wisconsin Grant Program has enabled me the freedom to experience everything college life has to offer me,” he said. “While I diligently work two part-time jobs to gain experience and meet my financial obligations, I am not forced to work 24/7. This grant makes it possible for me to live on campus and that experience has been priceless.” #WAICU
