Here are even more career-related skills and strengths that employers value:

These are just general examples. The Career Center staff can help you find positions that meet your goal.
The problem I had to solve was that I couldnt afford any of the
study abroad programs offered by my school, but I felt strongly
that experiencing another culture was necessary to the education
I wantedso I decided to go find one I could afford. First, I went
to the registrar to find out what I would have to do to get credit
and discovered that the school had to be accredited and that the
credits could fulfill some of my general education requirements.
Then I asked professors and other students and checked all the
bulletin boards near all the language, culture and international
studies departments. I wrote to several schools in Mexico and
Spain for more information and signed up for work-study jobs
on campus. I also took a job during Winter break to save money
for my trip.

Implications: Items with the highest totals could be significant strengths. Examine those skills that have the highest totals and think about the
many situations in which you have used them. How could you use these skills in your ideal job? Are there ways you could combine some of the
skills to create opportunities? The completion of these activities begins a process of identifying significant strengths and finding meaningful
work where you can be at your best and utilize more of your potential. You may want to consider meeting with a career counselor in The
Career Center to discuss the process of uncovering your strengths and ways of creating new opportunities that provide career satisfaction.

Many LinkedIn experts believe you need at least 30-50 connections for your LinkedIn network to be strong. Think quality of
connections, not quantity. Connect first with people you know
and trust, then build your network from there a) family &
friends, b) university affiliations, c) work/internship affiliations
d) volunteer affiliations.
Be sure to support your online networking with real human
contact. Set up phone calls, attend live events and send
snail mail notes to people you interact with on LinkedIn.
Online methods should supplement, not replace, in-person
relationship-building.

Dear Mr. Parsons:
I would like to apply for the Environmental Advocate position with the Association for Environmental
Justice. I was thrilled to see on your website that you are currently seeking applicants for this position.
Advocacy regarding the environment is exactly the type of career that I am seeking. I will be graduating
from the University of Washington in June and I believe I am an excellent candidate because I have: 1)
a lifelong interest in and commitment to environmental justice issues, 2) leadership, organization and
communication skills, and, 3) passion for your mission.
Last year I worked as the Community Outreach Intern specializing in environmental issues for the
Northwest Non-Profit Foundation (NNPF). In this position, I engaged in outreach, fundraising, and
policy development. NNPF membership grew by 27% during my internship there, and our fundraising
efforts exceeded our goals by over $30,000. In addition to my membership-building and fundraising
activities as a leader in the Students for Social and Environmental Justice organization, I engaged
in extensive coalition-building, coordinated our events for two years, wrote petitions, and led
letter-writing drives. Please see my enclosed resume for more details.
I am very interested in the Environmental Advocate position because I believe that my skills and
experience provide an excellent match for this position, and I passionately believe in the Association's
mission and values. Your commitment to sustaining justice and environmental balance for the welfare
of all represents the values to which I am personally and professionally committed. I look forward to
talking with you soon. I can be reached by phone at 206-555-5555 and email at chris.wong@aol.com.

I saw the executive track position in The Asia Pacific Groups Emerging Leaders Program
while viewing the University of Washingtons HuskyJobs online system. The training
and support your organization provides to its employees is impressive and the mission
of supporting business development in the Pacific Rim is exciting to me. As a senior in
Business Administration, I believe the executive track position is a very good match for my
skills in leadership, cross cultural communication, and project management.
My leadership skills would be an asset to your organization. As vice-president of an
international student organization, I helped increase membership by 25% and planned
six events that reached a total of 850 students. During my internship with Singapore
Airlines, I used my Mandarin Chinese and English skills to help foster partnerships among
employees in the United States and Singapore. Working together, employees from both
locations developed three new strategies for increasing and enhancing air traffic between
the two countries.
Finally, in a marketing class during spring quarter, I served as the manager of a project
for an assignment that called for groups of four students to spend five weeks analyzing
the marketing needs of a local business. I created goals and timelines, collected status
reports, researched and gave the final presentation of our project. We finished our
assignment several days prior to the deadline, our professor gave us high marks, and the
business owner is currently implementing two of our three recommendations.
I am eager to apply my strengths and background to team projects at The Asia Pacific
Group. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you to further discuss how my
qualifications might match with the Emerging Leaders Program. Please feel free to
contact me by phone at 206-555-5555 or by email at kerikatanabe@uw.edu.
Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely,
Keri Katanabe

If you interviewed with more than one person, you may send one letter to the person who appears to be most in charge of hiring
and say you appreciated meeting with you and your staff. If you are able to get all interviewers' names, you may send each a
thank-you note.
Thank-you letters are one or two very short paragraphs. Be sincere and positive. Close with a suggestion for continued contact or a
request for the next interview. Send the signed original. Always keep a copy for your records.

Sincerely yours,
Sincerely,
Thanks so much for meeting with me last month and helping me to better understand how
I can develop a career path in the marketing field. It was a pleasure talking with you! And
the information and advice you gave me was very helpful and inspiring. I especially appreciated your recommendation to speak with Marty Westfall at Edelmans PR regarding the
promotional marketing field. He gave me suggestions on how to conduct an internship search
in that field along with some additional contacts. By the way, he mentioned this article on
Personal Branding and Social Media which I thought you might like to read. Heres the link:
www.psbj.com.
Also, I wanted you to know that I registered for the Promotional Marketing Using Social
Media course for winter quarter that you suggested. It will involve individual research and a
group project. Ill let you know how it goes!
Thanks again! You helped me be even more excited about my passion with marketing!
Best regards,
Chris Fine

Interview Formats
Screening Interviews with a potential employer are the
initial interview sessions, which may last 30-60 minutes. The
campus interview is a good example of a screening interview,
where employers see many students on campus to select a
few candidates for second interviews.
The screening interview is most often conducted by a human
resources representative to determine the candidates who
seem to best match the employers hiring needs. It tends to be
fairly broad, covering education, background, experience, and
interests. You may be asked some behavior-based questions
during this interview. This interview may be conducted over
the phone.
34
Do:
Show up on time for the interview.
Convey enthusiasm and interest.
Be truthful.
At meals, order items that are easy to eat and follow the
lead of your host.
Do not:
Emphasize money.
Describe a time when you were under pressure and did not
meet a deadline.
Be a no-show.

What do you think about relocation? Travel on the job?
Working over 40 hours a week?
The employer will either pick one or have you choose. Name
the strength and give the best example of when you demonstrated that strength. Follow the STAR method (see page 35)
to be sure that the example you give is both short and clear.
Speak no more than two minutes; most people cannot pay
attention for much longer than that
Fight the urges to suggest improvements in your first
position; employers expect you to listen and learn during
the beginning months.
Master business conduct guidelines such as adhering to
confidentiality and time-off policies.
Consider that promotions are obtained with capability,
visibility, availability and luck.
What are your short- and long-range goals? Do you have any
plans for future education?

INTERVIEW/CAREER PORTFOLIOS
For decades, artists, photographers, architects, graphic designers and writers in search of work have used portfolios to showcase their
abilities and qualities. Finally, individuals in all other areasfrom business to scienceare now discovering how portfolios can help
them advance their careers. College students are developing portfolios to demonstrate that their learning experiences have increased
their potential for employment.
Now that many college professors are requiring students to present a portfolio
of their work in courses, more students are preparing material that could
be used to show their potential. Some of that material could be converted
easily into career portfolio material, which, when used effectively in interviews,
can significantly increase your potential of getting the job you want!
Portfolios can do more than just help you during interviews! They can help you:
prepare for interviews
convince others of your skills, abilities and qualities
communicate clearly (focus and speak to the issue)
showcase your skills graphically
demonstrate the results of your work
establish the habit of documenting your accomplishments and results
assess your own progress in your career development
see and evaluate the patterns in your own work preferences and values

A portfolio is a collection of artifacts and items that represents your skills, abilities and experiencethe strengths that you carry with
you. It can be a marketing tool as well as an assessment and organizing tool, both of which can help you advance your career and
your move into a job from one kind of work to another. It is based on the idea that you can do again what youve done in the past,
whether its researching and writing a report or being creative in fundraising.
