How do you currently advise students to share this information?
• What do you think they should include on resumes? Applications?• What about a cover letter?• How to talk about
experiences in interviews?• What support resources do
students use on your campus or in your community?
![Page 5: From Chapter Leader to Young Professional Supporting student transition from college to career Rachael Candee, MPA Manager, Skills-based Volunteer & HoosierCorps.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b265df/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Members vs officers
• What types of things can a general member talk about on his/her resume?• What would be different
about a member who served as an officer?

highlight– Ability to work on a team–Opportunity to work with
diverse group– Accountability to complete
required tasks/service hours– Time management, decision-
making and conflict resolution–Critical thinking!– Awards, recognition,
achievements

Where are the biggest challenges?• Students do not see their chapter participation as a professional development opportunity• Students do not closely align
personal development with professional outcomes• Prospective employers do not
understand chapters or their activities
![Page 11: From Chapter Leader to Young Professional Supporting student transition from college to career Rachael Candee, MPA Manager, Skills-based Volunteer & HoosierCorps.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b265df/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Bridging the knowledge gap• Activities to complete with
students• Activities to provide to
students• Campus resources– don’t
recreate the wheel!• Community resources—who
can they seek for additional support?

Activity to complete with students
![Page 13: From Chapter Leader to Young Professional Supporting student transition from college to career Rachael Candee, MPA Manager, Skills-based Volunteer & HoosierCorps.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b265df/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Activity to provide to students
![Page 14: From Chapter Leader to Young Professional Supporting student transition from college to career Rachael Candee, MPA Manager, Skills-based Volunteer & HoosierCorps.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b265df/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What else do you see as your role? The chapter’s role?• Chapter members can use
each other as resources–Events for members to practice
interviews, networking
• How useful could their alumni network be?–Would chapter or local alumni want
to network, mentor, or provide other support to members?
• Determine what works for you, your students and on your campus
![Page 15: From Chapter Leader to Young Professional Supporting student transition from college to career Rachael Candee, MPA Manager, Skills-based Volunteer & HoosierCorps.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b265df/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Other coaching tips and tricks• Being a role model of
professionalism• Listening and understanding
students needs• Preparing students for the
world of work• Encourage chapters to take
on skilled projects, ongoing projects or one-on-one projects that develop their professional skills
![Page 16: From Chapter Leader to Young Professional Supporting student transition from college to career Rachael Candee, MPA Manager, Skills-based Volunteer & HoosierCorps.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b265df/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What is one skill/competency that you possess that has been valuable in your career?
• How can you demonstrate this skill?• How can you talk
about this skill?• How can you teach
this skill?• How can your students
practice this skill?
![Page 17: From Chapter Leader to Young Professional Supporting student transition from college to career Rachael Candee, MPA Manager, Skills-based Volunteer & HoosierCorps.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e365503460f94b265df/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Other challenges• I am not very familiar with the
job search process• How might this be different for
non-traditional students?• What role might this play in
graduate school applications?• What if a student that I do not
know wants me to serve as a reference?
