Networking is defined as “the action or process of interacting with others to exchange information and develop professional or social contacts,” and can be a powerful job search strategy. Making connections can not only help you find out about job opportunities, but may also connect you to people who can help you get the job. You can use relationships you already have to network, such as friends and family. However, it is also important to find other opportunities to network, and this can take place through your involvement in extracurricular or community activities, by volunteering in your community, or simply through the people that you know!

In this lesson, you will assess how your current work (school) demands affect family life, free time, etc., identify the work demands of a career of interest, and explore strategies for maintaining a healthy life-work balance now and in the future.  You will also identify strategies to manage time and stress when balancing the demands of your current responsibilities and future career.

Welcome back to Xello! Throughout your academic and career planning process, you’ve had the opportunity to use a variety of resources to explore how your skills, talents, and interests align with careers. As you enter the second half of your high school experience, there will be coursework, extra curricular, volunteer, and work-based learning experiences to help you gain valuable career readiness traits that are important to starting a successful career journey.  Today we will update your experiences in the “About Me” section of your Xello profile, and explore key personality traits that are essential for career success.

In this interactive lesson, you will learn about job projections and outlook, factors that impact job demand, such as changes in technology, demographics, business practices or production methods, consumer preferences, and workplace restructuring, and explore the importance of reviewing your career plan based upon the demand for the career that interests you!

Workplace skills that are not specific to one career are often called soft skills or transferable skills. These are the skills that you would need to navigate most workplaces.  In this lesson, you will begin by recording your current use of transferable skills in your part-time job, volunteer, extra curricular, hobbies, and/or classroom activities and will identify the importance of these skills in your future career. Once you’ve reflected upon your current use of a few key transferable skills, you will then update the skills included in your About Me profile.

Even if you’re not sure you’ll be heading to a technical college or four-year college or university your first year after high school, you never know where your future career will  take  you.  It  may be later in your career that you decide that additional education is necessary to advance you in your field.  So why not start thinking about potential schools that  would make a good fit for you?  In this activity, you’ll explore schools in Xello to help you identify factors that you feel are important in your postsecondary education goals, saving at least 3 schools and identifying the factors that influenced your selections. 

In this Xello interactive lesson, you’ll explore your feelings about post-secondary education and will rank the factors that are most important to you when selecting technical or 4-year colleges/universities that are a good fit for you.  You will rank these factors and will compare how the colleges that you have saved in your profile stack up to what you feel is most important.  

In preparation for opportunities to network and interview for jobs, it is important to prepare a brief summary of yourself relevant to your experiences, interests, and short and long term career goals.  This summary is often referred to as an “elevator pitch.”  Creating an elevator pitch is useful for every post secondary plan and can be used when talking with employers and military recruiters, and it can a framework for a more detailed personal statement often used on a college or scholarship application!  

Knowing how to budget your money is important for your financial security, ensuring you can pay basic living expenses like food & clothing, rent or mortgage payments, transportation, tuition, insurance, and have money left for entertainment. Budgeting is a proactive approach to organizing your money.  Budgeting ensures you're not spending more than you're making, allowing you to plan for short- and long-term expenses AND help you make a plan to save for larger future purchases that support your lifestyle goals!  You simply want to be able to track your income left over after all expenses to ensure you're not falling into debt.
