IND 299 Module One Career Center Activity Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

One valuable SNHU resource you will use throughout your studies is the SNHU Career Center, which can be located in the “SNHU Career” module at the end of the course. Here, you can find help creating a resume, practice interviewing, and other resources to see you all the way through a salary negotiation and advancing your career.  

As you develop your goals and identify your concentration and course plan, one thing you will need to keep in mind is why you are pursuing a General Studies degree and what you plan to do with it once you graduate. One important consideration is how this degree and your specific concentration choice will help further your career. 

Prompt

Browse the SNHU Career webinars  in the Career Day and Job Search: Preparation and Strategies playlists. Choose a webinar that you feel most closely relates to your experiences or goals Then, take a look at the list of available concentrations in the BA.GST degree located in the module resources. You will be declaring your concentration in Module Five, so it is a good time to begin thinking about what concentration(s) align with your goals and prior learning.  

After viewing your chosen webinar and scanning the list of concentrations, you will write a short, 1- to 2-page reflection about what you learned. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: 

• Describe what SNHU Career webinar you viewed and what the webinar was about. What webinar content did you find the most interesting or useful? What is one idea from the webinar that relates to any of your goals or prior experiences? 
• Reflect on what you learned in the webinar. Did this information give you some ideas for short-term goals in your personal or professional life? How do you think these ideas might be relevant right now as you work to complete the BA.GST? 
• Finally, outline two to three concentrations you reviewed that you think may help you achieve your goals and briefly explain why. You are not committing to these concentrations yet; this is just an opportunity for you to start looking at what is available and what transfer credits you may already have toward these concentrations. Why did these concentrations stand out to you?
