Sheet 1: Career Tracker
| The Career Tracker | ||||||||
| Your career development is an iterative, lifelong process that involves much more than simply applying for jobs. The purpose of this spreadsheet is to help you identify and map your sources of inspiration, interests and values as starting points for thinking about your career development. Each column prompts you to provide information and details that we encourage you to keep track of throughout your CEU experience. You may, of course, modify and change this spreadsheet to meet your personal needs. |
||||||||
| Inspiration(s) and heroes | Interests | Personal Values | Experience | Skills you have and how/where you can use those skills | Skills you want to develop and why? | Work Values | Job titles | |
| Is there someone who has done the things you want to do in your life? Is there someone who is where you want to be in your own future life? | What excites you enough to keep you awake at night? What activities make you happy? | What are principles or strong beliefs that you try to uphold and engage with in your life? | Think about all jobs, internships, voluntary work, community engagement, student roles, clubs,... you have had so far. | Think of skills that come naturally to you (eg. speaking in public), as well as skills you have actively worked to develop (eg. programming). | Are there skills you want to learn, develop, or improve? | Think about things that will give you satisfaction in a professional role (eg. applying certain skills/knowledge, salary, working in a team, flexibility, contributing to an inpsiring institutional mission). | What are roles or job titles that are of interest or that you have heard of? | |
| The Wishlist Reflections and Research for Experiential Learning |
||||
| When thinking about your career development, it is important to identify and articulate what you want to do and what you want to get out of any professional experience, including an experiential learning experience. The purpose of this tab is to help you figure out what you are good at, what you would like to learn and / or improve, and what would make an experience satisfactory for you. Also what constraints and circumstances you have to be aware of. In each column, you will be asked to provide information and details that we recommend you keep track of before applying for an experiential learning opportunity. |
||||
| Your professional skills set | Skills you want to use and why? Knowledge you want to gain and why? |
The ideal experiential learning experience | Constraints and hurdles | |
| Think of professionally-relevant skills you have gained through study, internships, work, civic engagement/volunteering, etc and that you would be able to offer to an internship host, civic engagement organization, or research project / supervisor (eg. writing concisely, conducting research, analyzing data) | Are there skills you would love to use your experiential learning opportunity to learn, develop, or improve? Is there knowledge you would like to gain, deepen, and/or experience in a practical setting? | What sort of things would help enusre that the experience (internship, civic engagement/volunteering experience, or research project not connected to your coursework) is satisfying (eg. hands-on experience) | What things/situations/circumstances do you have to take into account as you think about approaching the experiential learning requirement (CPS), or the prospect of setting up an experiential learning opportunity (other programs)? (eg. Location, residence permit, family obligations, timeline, etc) | |
| The List of Organizations | |||||
| Investing in experiential learning, such as an internship, civic engagement, or a research project, can help you intentionally gain knowledge, experience and skills that will be useful when you apply for jobs. It’s a great practice to start any new phase of your career development by creating a personalized list of “cool organizations”. Working on a list like this and adding to it regularly will help you avoid one of the biggest pitfalls of early career job searches, which is sending out applications without a vision that serves as a backbone for the process. The list should include organizations you think are having a great impact, whose work or mission you admire, who are addressing problems that you care about in ways that inspire you, or that you simply think are doing great work for one reason or another. These might be organizations you come across through targeted research, in your course readings, in your free time, in conversations with peers, or know about from your experience before CEU. | |||||
| Name of Organization | Why I think it's cool what they are doing | Specific requirements or qualifications | Contact information | Notes | |
| What are some organizations you think are doing cool / interesting / important work? Include names and some notes about why they are interesting to you. | List here information such as: 1. The organization's mission statement 2. Projects you admire 3. Specific opportunities the organization offers 4. The benefits of contributing to their work / working with them |
Would contributing to the work of this organization require specific skills or experiences, and if so, do I have the necessary skills for applying there? | Include: - link to the organization's main website - link to career section of organization website - link profiles of key contacts such as HR contact - and/or any information that would help make this sheet a useful reference |
Information such as location, Visa requirements, is there an internship program, remote or on-site, deadline for application, additional information. | |
