Guiding Future Graduates

Last week, my alumni organization held its annual alumni panel. Various alumni returned to their alma mater to address future graduates on the challenges that arise in securing post-college employment. All members of the panel briefly introduced themselves and described the career field in which they have chosen. They also conveyed the means it took to get their foot inside the door. In addition, the panel offered resume critiques, insight on specific career fields and successful interviewing strategies. Most of all, the alumni panel sought to relieve some of the anxiety in which future graduates undergo during their job hunting experience.
Often, the psychological aspect of adulthood is never addressed during career workshops. The transition from student to full-time employee, especially within the corporate setting, can be overwhelming. Most of the time, these students are experiencing challenges that they have never faced before. For years, they have financially relied on their parents. Within the workforce, these one-time dependents will now enter an arena filled with deadlines, cutbacks, and last minute changes, in which they will eventually be responsible for making crucial decisions. The alumni panel counteracts this anxiety with a huge RELAX! There have been many times in our lives where we felt that we would not succeed or that we were ill equipped to take on future challenges. We have to remember the days in which we were in first grade and thought second grade was going to be so hard. We might have been scared but once we entered the second grade classroom, it was not as hard as we imagined. We had the tools from previous schooling to prepare us for this moment. The same applies towards job hunting.
I felt the alumni panel was a complete success. Many questions were answered and many myths were dispelled. I believe the students took home with them a great wealth of knowledge.
