MSI unveils new seminars for Vocational Program
Posted by: Frank Ableson in Education, Career Resources, General Business, Company News, Social Media, Social Networking, Sussex County, Community on October 30, 2009
MSI is pleased to announce the addition of four new seminars available for enrolled students in our Vocational Programs.
The first seminar is entitled "Supercharge your Search". This program not only hits the "basics" of resumes, cover letters and interviewing, it also walks participants through some of the larger-picture questions.
Who are you and what kind of job do you really want?
Are you an effective communicator?
Can you explain to someone in 30 seconds or less a convincing statement of who you are and what you are looking for?
Are you networking with friends and professional peers to make sure that everyone in your sphere of influence knows what a good opportunity looks like for you?
What is the title of the person you want to work for?
How far are you willing to drive to your new job?
Do you know how to effectively use Linked In and other social networking tools and communities to aid you in finding your next opportunity?
These and many other key questions are raised and discussed in the seminar. Students spend time working together to practice their "30 second commercial". It makes a difference.
We also cover the essential steps you need to do before, during and after the Interview.
Each student receives a complete Career Notebook, including class notes, worksheets and key reference materials.
Our second seminar is entitled "Your Communication Style".
In this seminar each student takes an in-class, certified communication-style assessment. Once we have taken this assessment, we go through the different styles of communication and relate that to students' personal and professional experiences. There are a lot of "Ah-Ha" moments as students gain a keener insight into how they communicate with their peers - both personal and professional.
Equipped with this new self-knowledge, students are better prepared to navigate a challenging interview, including all of those "hard interview questions". We even review job postings and work together to determine what communication style would be a good fit for each. Having a good job usually starts with picking the right job -- and how you communicate has a large impact on this decision. Know yourself and be equipped!
Each student receives a complete Career Notebook, including class notes, worksheets and key reference materials.
Our third seminar is entilted "Bookkeeping in the real world". This seminar is targeted towards our QuickBooks students, however all enrolled students are welcome to attend and participate.
In this seminar, our facilitiator walks students through the ins and outs of bookkeeping based on decades of experience in the financial industry. In particular, the use of QuickBooks in a modern office setting is discussed including "key skills to have". And yes, students can even ask their "debit vs credit" questions. Our QuickBooks instructors are experienced, professional book keepers.
Our fourth seminar is entitled "Using LinkedIn to supercharge your Job Search". In this seminar our facilitator walks particpants through the process of creating and/or enhancing their LinkedIn profiles. Going well beyond the basics of setting up a LinkedIn profile, this seminar teaches students how to research LinkedIn for possible job opportunities in their target market, networking with former co-workers, and getting engaged in the numerous and active LinkedIn groups. To navigate LinkedIn successfully, you must engage -- we show you how!
Our aim in providing these seminars to our students it to help them in any and every way we can. We want to help our students become gainfully employed, however it goes well beyond that ambitious objective.
At MSI, we want to be an organization that provides value today, and for the future, to everyone we come into contact with -- a company of value. If you have an interest in learning more about our seminars, or education program or about our company in general, please do not hesitate to contact us at 973.448.0070, email us at info@msiservices.com, or visit our website.
