Career Fundamentals

Hi everyone,

Welcome back to Comm 299. As i’m sure a number of you are already aware, starting this week, all material covered in class will be examable material. This includes everything said in class, your tutorials as well as everything posted. We will make sure that the only questions we will ask in class are things that is covered across every section.

Blog: Your blog is due on the week of the 21st and should be completely done by your tutorial, your TAs will be checking them in class.

For those of you that already have a blog on blogs.ubc.ca (for comm 101 for example) we would ask that you change the title of your blog to your name for (ex. if your name is Jane Wong, the title of your blog should be Jane Wong’s blog) the TA’s will not mark your blog unless the title is your name!

To make a blog

1) Go to blogs.ubc.ca

2) log in with your cwl account towards the lower right side of the screen

3) After you log in look at the top of your screen. There should be a number of drop downs that say

UBC Blogs, My Account, My Blogs, Notifications.

4) Go to the My Blogs drop down and click on “Create a Blog!”

5) On the next page, fill in your site name (which is your URL), site title (this should be your full name), choose your privacy setting, and then select the appropriate drop downs to say I am creating a course blog for Business Sauder School of.

6) After you have created your blog,  again go to the drop down near the top of the screen and look under “My Blogs”, highlight your cursor over the title of the blog you just created and then select “New post”

7) On that page, make your blog posting, the topic is  listed in the course syllabus and this can be found on Vista.

Hope this helps and see you in class

Hi everyone,

We encourage you to attend Me Inc. because it is an opportunity to explore Step 2 on the model called Researching Options.  You can meet industry people and learn lots from them to make an informed option and career decision.

For students in Friday’s classes (March 18) who are going to Me Inc., you are invited to attend another lecture either on Monday from 3-4pm or Wednesday from 3-4pm.  We ask that you contact your TA to arrange to sit in on another one of their tutorials.  If this is not possible join a friend to their tutorial.

Hi everyone,

Hope your interview + prep is going well. Just a quick reminder of two resources we mentioned in class:

1.     The Interview eLearning Module

You can access this by going to the SAUDER SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Workshops – Sauder Career Success Cycle : BCom in Vista and scrolling down to below the career cycle.

2.     Interview Stream (set up an account at www.sauder.interviewstream.com)

You can use this to go through a mock interview through your webcam.

Good luck with all your interviews!
