Job Search Survival is a Christian job skills program. It stresses the importance of being a person of faith and how that will help you through the ups and downs of the job search process. We are Christian in our presentations, our prayers, and our focus. It will not be our intent to ever insult, embarrass, or force our faith on anyone, but we will not back away from the truth of the Bible, and the power of a mighty prayer life on the job search process. Email questions to jobhelp@sugarcreek.net

More than 40 employers and representatives from various non-profit and veteran organizations are expected to participate in the event. No registration is required to attend. The NAM/BJM Fall 2016 Career Fair will also showcase resources for veterans, information about educational grants and non-profits.

HOW TO THE MAKE MOST OF YOUR

INTERN The job market can be tough; there are so many people out there looking for a finite number of jobs - so it can be a real boost if you can find yourself an internship or work placement to set yourself apart from the crowd. Relevant experience is a huge factor when it comes to being considered for a job, so do everything you can to gain it - particularly if you’re looking to enter a particularly competitive sector. Some employers expect demonstrable experience for even entry-level jobs, so it’s important that you research the area you’re looking to break into and see how you shape up against general candidate requirements. Competition for internships is understandably intense but there are tools out there that you can use to your advantage. For example, use a website that collects information on available internships or placements in your chosen area; this way, you won’t miss out on an opportunity that might just be perfect for you.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2016

The most important thing is to realise early on just what an amazing opportunity you have in front of you. Your placement will give you invaluable insight into the inner workings of the company you’re with and, if applicable, help you to decide how you would like to specialise within your chosen field. If you have an idea already, then make sure that you are given the opportunity to experience the area you’re interested in while you’re there. Asking to shadow somebody who is carrying out your dream VOL. 21 ISSUEthat 1058you’re after. job is a great way to gain the kind of experience

SHIP

All that said, it’s also a good idea to be open to other areas of the business too. It could well be that you hadn’t considered something that may turn out to be a perfect fit for you. Keep an open mind and you won’t go too far wrong. Also try to be pro-active wherever possible. If you spot a task that you feel you could carry out in order to help the team you’re working with, go ahead and suggest it. Similarly, if you uncover a way in which the company’s processes could be improved, step up and make yourself heard. Of course, you’ll want to do it in a tactful way as you don’t want to come across as cocky - but if you manage to impress your mentor with such initiative it’ll reflect incredibly well on you in the future. One of the most important things to remember about an internship or a work placement is that you have the perfect opportunity to make incredibly useful contacts for the future. Even if you decide that this company in particular isn’t the one you want to work for, it might just be that somebody there leaves to set up their own business in the future. Make a good impression and you’ll be on that person’s wishlist when they start recruiting intelligent, eager staff for their start-up. Make the most of your internship and you’ll be head and shoulders ahead of the average applicant when it comes to looking for a full-time job. The kind of experience that a work placement can provide will go a long way to putting you 21 ISSUE 1058 top of the candidateVOL. pile.

Q: Do you think it’s important to have an internship while you’re still in college? I really hate the thought of working while I’m going to school. -Houston, Texas Reader

Q: I had an interview appointment but I had to help my daughter with some things and wasn’t able to get there. I called to say that I would be there the following day instead, and the interviewer acted offended. She said I could reschedule for next week instead. Now I wonder if I’m even interested in the job because of her attitude. -Tomball, Texas Reader

A: Yes! If you have never worked while in college, you are not ready to go to work immediately upon graduation. You will be a much more desirable employee if you have spent some time juggling a schedule and learning about the real world.

APPRENTICESHIP: EARN WHILE YOU LEARN

“I like that I can have a full-time job and pay my mortgage while going to school,” says chef’s apprentice Brian Schmitt of Davenport, Iowa. “And I like that my job is directly applicable to the work that I want to do.” Many people work and learn at the same time. But in addition to getting a paycheck, apprentices like Schmitt are also getting a career boost: their on-the-job experience and technical instruction are part of a formal program to help them master an occupation. Formal apprenticeship programs connect jobseekers who want to learn new skills with employers who want to train workers in jobs that use those skills. Most programs last about 4 years, although some take as little as 1 year and others as long as 6 years. At the end of a registered apprenticeship program, apprentices get a nationally recognized certificate of completion as proof of their skills. But it’s not always easy to find apprenticeship programs. It helps to know where to look— and what to look for. About apprenticeships Whether you’re new to the labor force, changing careers, or just looking to expand your skills, there might be an apprenticeship that appeals to you.

The opportunity to earn money, train for an occupation, and build a career foundation are just some of the benefits [of an apprenticeship]... 52 SEPTEMBER 23, 2016

People start apprenticeships at almost any age, but many apprenticeship sponsors require participants to be at least 18. Although many apprentices have a high school diploma or equivalent, others have more or less education than that. And about 7 percent of active registered apprentices nationwide in 2012 were veterans, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Most formal apprenticeship programs are registered with DOL.

These programs prepare workers for occupations in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and healthcare. The opportunity to earn money, train for an occupation, and build a career foundation are just some of the benefits. Registered apprenticeship programs Registered apprenticeships must meet certain guidelines set by DOL. People who complete these programs receive a nationally recognized certificate of completion, either from DOL or from an approved state agency. According to DOL, there were more than 358,000 registered apprentices in more than 21,000 apprenticeship programs in 2012. The actual number of apprenticeships may be higher, however, because DOL and state apprenticeship agencies do not oversee all programs. Apprenticeship programs are sponsored by individual employers, employer associations, and labor unions. Sponsors pay wages, which often start out at about half those of a fully qualified worker. Wages increase as registered apprentices advance in the occupation. For most programs, apprentices must complete 2,000 hours of on-the-job training and at least 144 hours of related technical instruction each year. Apprentices usually work full-time, under the direction of experienced workers, to meet training requirements. Many apprentices receive their technical instruction by attending classes at an apprenticeship training center, technical school, or community college. Apprentices may go to class 1 or 2 days a week, either before or after work, or go to school full-time for several weeks each year. Frequently, sponsors pay for this technical instruction. Advantages of an apprenticeship Apprenticeship programs have many advantages, including a paycheck, hands-on training, technical instruction—which is often free—and a solid start to a career. A paycheck. Apprentices start earning money right away, which is a big draw for many who choose this type of career preparation. In addition to wages, some apprentices are eligible for health insurance or other employee benefits. Apprentices usually make at least minimum wage. As apprentices’ skills progress, their wages typically increase. “You’re going to start off pretty low on the salary scale because you’re preparing for a trade that takes a long time to learn,” says Drew Haigh, a moldmaker apprentice in San Dimas, California. “You’ll make your money over time.” VOL. 21 ISSUE 1058

But even before they earn journey-level wages, some apprentices say that their starting wage is an improvement over what they had been making. For example, Tyrell Ellis earns about $17 an hour in his first year as a sheet metal worker apprentice in Mattapan, Massachusetts. “Before the apprenticeship I was making $10 an hour, working all kinds of hours,” says Ellis. “I would have to work nonstop every day to make what I make now.” Hands-on training. While on the job, apprentices learn practical skills from experienced workers. Having worked under many mentors has helped Dan Glass to develop a wide range of skills. “You learn something different from everyone,” says Glass, a third year outside lineman (power line installer and repairer) apprentice in Delta Junction, Alaska.

By the end of their apprenticeship, people usually have had experience with all of the major aspects of their occupation. “It’s an effective way to learn,” says Schmitt.

Plan for success Those who are in or have completed apprenticeships have a few pointers to help prospective apprentices succeed. For example, Schmitt says that apprentices should remember that they are entry level workers. “Set your expectations realistically,” he says. “Be willing to pay your dues for a few years, and don’t get discouraged if you’re not running the show.” Ellis agrees. “Expect to be the lowest one on the totem pole and to do whatever is asked of you, even if it’s just getting coffee,” he says. Others who’ve succeeded encourage apprentices to take advantage of any additional training or certification programs offered to them. Apprentices should also to try to learn as much as they can from their mentors about different aspects of the work. “What you get out of it,” says Schmitt, “is what you put into it.” SEPTEMBER 23, 2016 53
