[00:01:08.640]

[00:01:10.849]

[00:01:26.069]
Both are open. I'll keep an eye on them

[00:01:28.120]

[00:01:30.230]

[00:01:34.530]

[00:01:40.700]
in the chat so I can give you what

[00:01:42.848]
you need out of the session today.

[00:01:45.239]
So let's go ahead and dive in

[00:01:47.479]
with what to expect out of

[00:01:50.039]
our Gale Presents

[00:01:52.400]
Peterson's tests and career prep

[00:01:54.620]
resource.

[00:01:55.840]
So as you might have assumed with

[00:01:58.098]
both company names there in the title.

[00:02:00.500]
This is a partner product for us at Gale.

[00:02:02.629]
We're thrilled to partner with Peterson's.

[00:02:05.140]
There is such a well known and well respected

[00:02:07.780]
company in the

[00:02:10.038]
test prep and college readiness

[00:02:12.228]
field so you know really there's nobody

[00:02:14.360]
better with a partner which provide this

[00:02:16.430]
resource in libraries.

[00:02:18.568]
I remember using the books way way

[00:02:20.620]
back when I was prepping for the S.

[00:02:23.038]
A. T. And A. C. T. Exams

[00:02:25.610]
years and years ago.

[00:02:27.139]
And of course it's great to have this content available

[00:02:29.419]
online. So of course that's one of the features

[00:02:31.598]
of the resource. Being able to prepare

[00:02:33.650]
for college and career related tests.

[00:02:35.800]
We have online practice tests built

[00:02:38.030]
right into the resource with immediate

[00:02:40.158]
ratings. you can check your score, see how

[00:02:42.199]
you did retake exams, stream

[00:02:44.348]
cruel.

[00:02:45.340]
Um

[00:02:46.438]
along with the e book content that comes along

[00:02:48.759]
with those tasks so you can,

[00:02:50.740]
you know, take advantage of not just

[00:02:52.788]
the practice test but also the

[00:02:54.860]
content that helps you prepare and

[00:02:57.389]
get ready for those those exams.

[00:03:00.438]
Oh I apologize, I've got my

[00:03:02.479]
animations a bit out of order here.

[00:03:04.598]
Um but that's fine, it's all good stuff.

[00:03:07.120]
So this resource also

[00:03:09.210]
can help you find a college,

[00:03:11.560]
you have searches that help

[00:03:13.688]
you narrow down to the uh

[00:03:15.759]
you know type of school you're looking for. So you

[00:03:17.840]
know public or private in state or out

[00:03:19.889]
of state.

[00:03:20.938]
search based on tuition

[00:03:23.068]
of course based on the program or degree you're

[00:03:25.180]
interested in. As well

[00:03:27.310]
as some other features that come in really handy

[00:03:29.509]
and not just that, you know, paying for

[00:03:31.639]
college is

[00:03:33.639]
can can be a challenge.

[00:03:35.990]
So we've got tools to help you find scholarships

[00:03:38.579]
to find financial aid help

[00:03:40.628]
and a lot more kind of college

[00:03:42.908]
breath. And what's nice about these tools,

[00:03:45.168]
It is of course going to offer kind of a traditional

[00:03:47.579]
two and four year institution search, but then there

[00:03:49.610]
are specialist searches for distance learning

[00:03:51.770]
for nursing programs.

[00:03:53.538]
So they've created some custom search

[00:03:55.639]
paths for different types

[00:03:57.718]
of schools. So take a look at those.

[00:04:01.038]
This resource also has a great resume

[00:04:03.430]
creator tool. Somebody may be familiar

[00:04:05.610]
with visual C. V. They offer a lot

[00:04:07.908]
of great

[00:04:10.240]
formats for your resume, use kind of input

[00:04:12.478]
your information. It's also

[00:04:14.919]
got a lot of great content around

[00:04:17.319]
writing a resume around writing cover

[00:04:19.319]
letters, lots of good career advice

[00:04:21.838]
sections within the resource, so

[00:04:24.439]
it's gonna kind of give

[00:04:26.528]
you, the end result,

[00:04:28.540]
may be that you're looking for a resume. You feel good

[00:04:30.600]
about sending out to companies and sharing,

[00:04:32.730]
but also help for getting it to the right

[00:04:35.120]
hand, right the right companies, finding the places

[00:04:37.480]
you want to be, even taking it a step

[00:04:39.680]
further, so it might surround maybe salary

[00:04:42.009]
negotiation and things like that.

[00:04:44.009]
So lots of good advice here

[00:04:46.060]
for those seeking a new career

[00:04:48.290]
or really just a job change whenever

[00:04:50.610]
they may be interested in

[00:04:53.139]
remember.

[00:04:54.338]
And then also this

[00:04:56.490]
will help kind of bolster apologize folks again,

[00:04:58.620]
I have these a bit out of order um finding

[00:05:01.110]
a career that's best due to do you. So

[00:05:03.269]
there's a career assessment tool that walks

[00:05:05.300]
you through, answering

[00:05:07.639]
once you if you're basically a questionnaire looking

[00:05:10.088]
for where what type of industry

[00:05:12.290]
you might be a good fit for, then

[00:05:14.319]
of course you can dig deeper finding based

[00:05:16.838]
jobs based sorry, careers

[00:05:19.269]
based on those assessments and looking

[00:05:21.540]
at overview. So what's expected out of that

[00:05:23.649]
job with a salary range, that type of

[00:05:25.649]
thing. And then there's even a

[00:05:27.899]
link out to content to search for

[00:05:30.100]
open positions. So folks who are actively

[00:05:32.199]
looking for a new job right

[00:05:34.379]
now you got to see what's out there.

[00:05:37.040]
So lots of good stuff in this resource

[00:05:39.659]
and they all kind of fit together nicely.

[00:05:42.159]
So we want to walk you through how to get to this

[00:05:44.209]
content,

[00:05:45.338]
what you can expect from it and kind of putting

[00:05:47.579]
it to work. So

[00:05:49.240]
let's go ahead and jump in and navigate the resource.

[00:05:52.639]
So I've got to have a lot of down here

[00:05:54.649]
to the homepage and

[00:05:56.639]
the resource is divided into four

[00:05:58.909]
categories. Improve your score

[00:06:01.060]
is a section that's going to

[00:06:03.209]
allow you to find content to

[00:06:06.040]
from different tests.

[00:06:08.939]
So a variety of sections

[00:06:11.240]
here, we've also got again find

[00:06:13.569]
our finest school. So we've got

[00:06:15.610]
the scholarship search information.

[00:06:17.660]
They're linked to the college planning center,

[00:06:19.899]
which is really handy. And we're going to dig deeper into

[00:06:21.990]
these. I just want to give you the basics here.

[00:06:24.100]
Start there's also the explorers

[00:06:26.360]
career section that's where you would find the resume

[00:06:28.629]
builder, the career tools in the

[00:06:30.680]
life. And that is very protective

[00:06:32.990]
for vocational test prep.

[00:06:35.338]
Variety of tests available there.

[00:06:37.360]
So there's a lot of content here, we

[00:06:39.379]
won't of course be able to go into everything.

[00:06:41.420]
So again do share in the chat

[00:06:43.649]
or the Q. And A. And if there's anything in particular you

[00:06:45.720]
want to look at.

[00:06:47.139]
So for library staff, I really

[00:06:49.278]
like the four boxes here to

[00:06:51.329]
kind of browse around and see what's here.

[00:06:53.579]
So, you know, which

[00:06:56.180]
test prep to do. We have, you know,

[00:06:58.209]
do we have the firefighter exam? Do we have the asvab

[00:07:00.389]
you can kind of

[00:07:01.639]
quickly get the list there.

[00:07:04.040]
It's also again, a good way to get comfortable

[00:07:06.060]
with what's here. So again, so you know what to expect,

[00:07:08.269]
you know, when to recommend this resource.

[00:07:10.939]
We've also added a search right on the homepage.

[00:07:13.139]
You can dive right in with a search for,

[00:07:15.170]
say, S. A. T. And get taken right to that contact.

[00:07:18.240]
So the search is handy as well.

[00:07:20.290]
You know what you're after?

[00:07:27.139]
We've got a question what job boards

[00:07:29.259]
is the is the job search link

[00:07:31.480]
to? Great question Diane.

[00:07:33.540]
And

[00:07:35.639]
oh, gosh, of course I'll know

[00:07:37.750]
it. Of course. The minute we pull it up in the resource,

[00:07:39.829]
let me just actually to get that question answered. What's

[00:07:41.980]
going to use it?

[00:07:43.139]
I

[00:07:44.838]
I'm 90% sure of what it is,

[00:07:47.180]
but I I don't want to be wrong.

[00:07:49.240]
So

[00:07:50.139]
most of the content in this resource

[00:07:52.338]
is going to require you to create a user

[00:07:54.659]
account. So actually, let me back

[00:07:56.720]
up for a second before we go look at what the

[00:07:58.790]
job search. I believe it's a need dot

[00:08:00.810]
com. But

[00:08:01.838]


[00:08:03.540]
to create an account, we have a new

[00:08:05.550]
user sign up for first time users of

[00:08:07.670]
the resource.

[00:08:08.939]
And it's very simple, We're not doing

[00:08:11.120]
anything with the information that we're gathering

[00:08:13.389]
here. It's really just to create the account

[00:08:15.519]
because

[00:08:16.540]
again if you're using test prep, you're taking

[00:08:18.649]
an online practice example wants you to be able to come

[00:08:20.850]
back, look at your work, see how you do it, retake

[00:08:23.209]
exams, the scholarship search

[00:08:25.370]
tasks for details about

[00:08:27.550]
you. So things you excel, that stuff

[00:08:29.649]
like that so we can match you up with

[00:08:32.639]
scholarships that fit. So you're

[00:08:34.730]
entering in some information that is going to require

[00:08:36.889]
what we call a named user account.

[00:08:38.840]
Your email address is not required.

[00:08:41.240]
Again, we're not doing anything with the information

[00:08:43.298]
we're gathering here. You're not going to start getting

[00:08:45.440]
a bunch of emails from Gale or

[00:08:47.548]
Peterson.

[00:08:48.740]
It is the best way though to create

[00:08:50.840]
your account if you want need might need to be

[00:08:52.840]
able to reset your password down.

[00:08:54.940]
So we are tech support can always figure something

[00:08:57.240]
out for you. But the folks are comfortable.

[00:08:59.490]
They can share their email address that they don't have.

[00:09:02.038]
You create a user name and password and then

[00:09:04.090]
a secret word to reset

[00:09:06.190]
your password if you need you and your there's

[00:09:08.389]
no um

[00:09:10.440]
second step where you have to go to an email

[00:09:12.629]
and verify or anything. You just have your

[00:09:14.778]
account created. So very simple

[00:09:17.240]
and I'm gonna go ahead and log into my account

[00:09:20.538]
and we will double check. We

[00:09:22.658]
just feel quick

[00:09:24.840]
search here. We'll come back and look at this a little closer.

[00:09:27.259]
But I do want to confirm

[00:09:29.139]
the resource that we're using.

[00:09:32.440]
Oh, it's a link up. I apologize folks. I

[00:09:34.720]
that's why I shouldn't have mentioned

[00:09:36.940]
for if we believe we used

[00:09:38.960]
to use indeed that combo with partner.

[00:09:42.139]
So we go ahead and close out

[00:09:44.149]
of there, we will come back and look at that job searching closer.

[00:09:47.940]
Okay, so back to the homepage just clicking the

[00:09:49.980]
banner there.

[00:09:51.440]
Now. One of the neat things, another neat thing

[00:09:53.460]
really about having the names user account aside

[00:09:55.590]
from being able to kind of keep track of what you're doing here

[00:09:58.240]
is on the home page, you're able to

[00:10:00.528]
identify favorites things you're kind of going

[00:10:02.600]
back to again and again. So if I'm

[00:10:04.940]
coming in pretty regularly and working on different resumes,

[00:10:07.580]
I can make that one of my favorites

[00:10:09.908]
on the homepage. If I'm walking through in this case

[00:10:12.639]
some basic skills math tutorials, I can

[00:10:14.668]
add them right here and I'll show you how to create

[00:10:17.028]
these favorites. But it's a nice

[00:10:18.840]
quick way to get back to what you were doing

[00:10:20.990]
in this resource if you is coming back

[00:10:23.250]
again and again.

[00:10:25.538]
So I'm gonna start with improve

[00:10:27.820]
your sports section and we'll look at a few of the items

[00:10:29.918]
there, we'll walk through all these others, um

[00:10:32.149]
as well. But again, do feel free if there's nothing in particular

[00:10:34.629]
you want to see, let me know

[00:10:36.940]
so improve your score again is is a

[00:10:38.960]
lot of um test prep.

[00:10:41.009]
But also we've got a section I think

[00:10:43.120]
that doesn't get talked about enough and that's

[00:10:45.168]
the foundational skills tool. So

[00:10:47.470]
this isn't quite, it isn't specific

[00:10:49.710]
to any

[00:10:50.840]
certain exam, but it's to kind of

[00:10:52.980]
prep you for taking almost any of these

[00:10:55.200]
exams. So maybe a basic

[00:10:57.428]
skills math tutorials, I'm sure that's

[00:10:59.570]
something I could use at any point. Right?

[00:11:01.620]
And it's going to help prep me for any sort of math that

[00:11:03.649]
maybe on some other certification

[00:11:06.019]
exam or something like that.

[00:11:08.538]
You've got basic english and writing tutorials.

[00:11:11.259]
Uh there are question banks kind of gets

[00:11:13.389]
you in the habit of answering questions.

[00:11:16.139]
So this is a really excellent piece of

[00:11:18.200]
the resource also where you can

[00:11:20.200]
find our Microsoft office tutorials.

[00:11:22.440]
So something folks can do online from

[00:11:24.528]
home

[00:11:25.440]
on to learn a bit more about how to use Excel

[00:11:27.690]
word PowerPoint,

[00:11:29.538]
any of these. And you may notice

[00:11:32.440]
these ones that have the little gold star that's

[00:11:34.690]
because I've added them to my favorite.

[00:11:36.788]
So just

[00:11:38.038]
looking that little star,

[00:11:40.240]
we'll add that item to your favorites on the homepage.

[00:11:42.710]
So again, if it's something you're going to come back to again

[00:11:44.720]
and again, the right way to find those

[00:11:47.110]
easily, right on the homepage when you come into

[00:11:49.288]
the resource.

[00:11:51.340]
So a lot of great content

[00:11:53.360]
here can again help you prep for any other

[00:11:55.399]
tests you're going to use. But also just

[00:11:57.399]
good practice you know tutorials for

[00:11:59.528]
for for students for

[00:12:01.808]
for adults who could maybe just use a little

[00:12:03.850]
help in those areas feel a little bit more confident.

[00:12:07.840]
But we've also got of course kind of the classics

[00:12:10.840]
for test prep. As I mentioned the

[00:12:13.000]
S. A. T. The A. C. T. And so on. We've

[00:12:15.149]
got exams to prep for different high school

[00:12:17.509]
exams. So if you

[00:12:19.570]
are in a school setting maybe have

[00:12:21.590]
a p courses. We've got a lot of

[00:12:23.649]
test prep for ap

[00:12:25.940]
I'm the list here

[00:12:27.840]
and we are going to dive into some of these online tests.

[00:12:29.908]
I can show you what they look like and what kind of show you around

[00:12:32.110]
a little bit here with some other high school equivalency

[00:12:34.658]
exams.

[00:12:36.740]
So on some of these are state specific.

[00:12:40.240]
Okay we're gonna go into college prep here in

[00:12:42.269]
a second. So we've also got test prep

[00:12:44.308]
for grad school.

[00:12:45.940]
He's looking at that passed through the various

[00:12:48.028]
uh the G. Net and G.

[00:12:50.240]
R. E. But then the elsat for

[00:12:52.538]
specific

[00:12:54.139]
types of graduate degrees and

[00:12:56.158]
so on.

[00:12:57.740]
Sorry folks.

[00:12:59.940]
And then our international test prop you'll find

[00:13:02.408]
our total and uh

[00:13:04.860]
we say to each a measure exams

[00:13:07.389]
as well as the U. S. Citizens of exams

[00:13:09.519]
can help

[00:13:10.639]
what's going to happen.

[00:13:11.740]
But one of the ones I always like to highlight

[00:13:13.820]
because it is the

[00:13:17.340]
most used in the resource. Our college

[00:13:19.759]
prep exams. So A. C.

[00:13:21.899]
T. S. A. T. As I mentioned. But we've also got clep

[00:13:24.168]
exams accuplacer DSST.

[00:13:26.288]
And so on.

[00:13:28.840]
And what's really I think

[00:13:32.139]
especially nice about two of these exams

[00:13:34.408]
here the A. C. T. And the S. A. T.

[00:13:36.720]
Along with the online practice

[00:13:39.178]
tests

[00:13:40.340]
and the book content. These also

[00:13:42.870]
have online courses to go

[00:13:45.000]
along with them.

[00:13:46.639]
So I remember taking one of these in high

[00:13:48.759]
school I was I was lucky. It was you know an afternoon

[00:13:51.298]
at school it wasn't something we had to pay for but

[00:13:53.379]
not everybody else is as lucky.

[00:13:56.038]
So S. A. T. Prep can

[00:13:58.070]
cost some money. It also takes up time

[00:14:00.370]
right that everybody has that.

[00:14:02.840]
So the S. A. T. Online course within

[00:14:05.360]
uh Gale presents Peterson's test and

[00:14:07.548]
career prep, that's a mouthful. Um

[00:14:10.120]
Is a great way for folks to do this on their

[00:14:12.129]
own time at no cost. So

[00:14:14.308]
they come into the resource. It can work

[00:14:16.370]
through this course as needed.

[00:14:18.740]
And it provides tutorials.

[00:14:21.149]
You know it's not just um

[00:14:23.940]
kind of content around

[00:14:25.740]
the exam questions

[00:14:27.750]
around preparing for the exam kind of knowing

[00:14:29.918]
what's there. So you take a pre assessment, you

[00:14:32.009]
work through the program let's

[00:14:34.110]
see how you do at the end as well.

[00:14:36.240]
But it's a great way to get comfortable taking

[00:14:38.440]
the exam without kind of the pressure of

[00:14:40.450]
the practice exam itself. So

[00:14:42.879]
again getting more comfortable knowing what to expect

[00:14:45.330]
out of the exam.

[00:14:48.240]
But again our most popular piece in the

[00:14:50.250]
resource are the online practice test themselves.

[00:14:52.690]
So let's say this is something I'm gonna keep coming back

[00:14:54.850]
and revisiting. So I'm gonna go ahead and add it

[00:14:56.940]
to my favorites. But that little gold star there

[00:14:59.940]
and when you come into the exam, you may notice

[00:15:02.070]
it's opened up in a new tab or window depends

[00:15:04.129]
on your browser's behavior. But it's

[00:15:06.149]
nice because you've got the database there if you need it, maybe

[00:15:08.379]
we want to go back and quick check into the book or something

[00:15:10.798]
that's right there for us. We've got the test

[00:15:13.000]
open as well And you can see I've done some

[00:15:15.139]
work before. I will caution you

[00:15:17.200]
that I randomly answer questions

[00:15:19.210]
on these exams. So I'm not doing so great

[00:15:21.428]
in my

[00:15:22.639]
migrating of my practice

[00:15:24.690]
exams. But

[00:15:26.340]
um we'll see how I want to show you how this works.

[00:15:28.610]
So if you look to the left hand side

[00:15:30.808]
there, basically we've got the practice practice

[00:15:32.960]
exams labeled as they would be

[00:15:35.149]
in the actual test. And generally

[00:15:37.220]
you're going to have three practice tests.

[00:15:39.710]
Uh in most cases for most

[00:15:41.830]
of the exams in the resource

[00:15:44.399]
in the handful where we only have one or two.

[00:15:46.408]
But our goal is to have at least three exams

[00:15:48.730]
for folks to take because it's not good to keep taking the

[00:15:50.820]
same practice test over and over. That's

[00:15:52.950]
one of the things

[00:15:54.038]
you learn in the in the S. A. T.

[00:15:56.139]
prep eBook,

[00:15:58.038]
you don't want to get in the habit, you know, start

[00:16:00.168]
memorizing answers. It's, you know,

[00:16:02.379]
it's about learning so it is good

[00:16:04.470]
to take these,

[00:16:06.740]
oh and actually it looks like for the S. A. T. We've added

[00:16:08.820]
some more examples here. So that's what

[00:16:10.820]
I get for, not strolling down when I was prepping for

[00:16:12.820]
the webinar the other day, but we've got

[00:16:14.950]
more practice this year, so climbing for

[00:16:17.009]
the S. A. T. Better to not take them over

[00:16:19.139]
and over and you will be able to keep track

[00:16:21.259]
of all your scores from these

[00:16:23.350]
sections as well.

[00:16:25.139]
So let's take a look at how these work. I'll go ahead

[00:16:27.190]
and jump into say a math section

[00:16:31.240]
and you give a little introduction. You don't

[00:16:33.360]
just drop right into the exam, it kind

[00:16:35.428]
of gives you a little instruction here on how this test

[00:16:37.759]
is going to work. So then we can choose

[00:16:40.009]
to start the quiz

[00:16:43.538]
and

[00:16:45.139]
this is going to mimic the real world

[00:16:47.278]
test.

[00:16:48.340]
So you're working with pages, you can

[00:16:50.399]
see those in kind of the middle column on the

[00:16:52.460]
page here. And as you

[00:16:54.519]
work through, you can see which pages you've completed.

[00:16:57.200]
Uh you can go back and change

[00:16:59.720]
answers, things like that as you're taking the exam,

[00:17:02.100]
it's saving your work as you go

[00:17:04.190]
through. But you can always come back

[00:17:06.500]
and make a change has me,

[00:17:09.140]
so it's going to randomly select

[00:17:11.460]
some answers here.

[00:17:14.140]
And as you're working through

[00:17:17.440]
again, it's going to make that real world exam.

[00:17:19.880]
So we select our answer and then

[00:17:21.980]
move on to the next page. Let me get a page

[00:17:24.230]
here. Granted you can notice there

[00:17:26.288]
in that middle problem as I'm answering questions,

[00:17:28.519]
I get a little check mark. Right? So it's a quick

[00:17:30.740]
visual way to make sure you've kind

[00:17:32.940]
of done your war. So you keep moving

[00:17:35.078]
through to the next page.

[00:17:37.240]
But again, can always go back. Maybe, oh,

[00:17:39.430]
you know what that question number five on page

[00:17:41.450]
one, I want to go back

[00:17:43.338]
make an adjustment.

[00:17:45.140]
You're not committed to your answers

[00:17:47.338]
until you choose the submit

[00:17:49.390]
quiz yet. You just keep moving

[00:17:51.650]
through the pages

[00:17:53.440]
answering questions.

[00:17:55.940]
And just in the interest of time I'm going

[00:17:57.960]
to go ahead and scroll down, let's say I've

[00:18:00.038]
gone through all these pages I've done,

[00:18:02.240]
I'm going to jump to the last page. Last question.

[00:18:05.940]
Right,

[00:18:07.240]
just a five, I'm

[00:18:09.410]
sure in close. Uh, and that is

[00:18:11.578]
you submit the quiz.

[00:18:15.240]
It is uh

[00:18:17.338]
right, that's not working. It

[00:18:19.470]
is going to give me a little warning. I have missed

[00:18:21.470]
some questions. Right? So

[00:18:23.538]
I've missed several, but this is really handy

[00:18:25.798]
if you're just accidentally maybe skipped over

[00:18:27.960]
one, which you know, kind of a scrolling

[00:18:30.170]
list could be easy to do,

[00:18:32.240]
but we're not going to go back and answer is

[00:18:34.240]
and we'll leave it as is So you get a little confirmation

[00:18:36.730]
before you've submitted to have the test. Great

[00:18:39.940]
apologist,

[00:18:41.038]
I work for a minute and then immediately

[00:18:43.380]
puts you in a review so you can go back through

[00:18:45.710]
and see how you did.

[00:18:47.338]
And what's nice is for each question

[00:18:49.338]
we can see here the question was it looks like

[00:18:51.380]
randomly selecting answers is not the way to go,

[00:18:53.900]
but I got mine wrong. I selected

[00:18:56.078]
a B was the correct question.

[00:18:58.088]
If you open up the feedback

[00:19:00.098]
option, you can see why that was the

[00:19:02.118]
answer.

[00:19:03.140]
So you get an explanation and you can

[00:19:05.259]
just keep working through

[00:19:07.640]
the entire exam, seeing how you

[00:19:09.640]
did it. It looks

[00:19:11.818]
like these random guesses. Oh, I got lucky

[00:19:13.900]
on questioning,

[00:19:15.740]
but most cases

[00:19:18.088]
it was not for yeah Rachel

[00:19:20.538]
that we can work through,

[00:19:22.640]
you see, I'm here.

[00:19:24.740]
So let me just check the chat with you and they quickly

[00:19:27.028]
see if anything's come in.

[00:19:30.140]
Oh, excellent day, I love to hear yes. The feedback

[00:19:32.440]
feature is really great. That immediate

[00:19:35.038]
kind of learning you can do when

[00:19:37.250]
you come wrong with a with a question or method

[00:19:39.710]
or you know, whatever it may have been the thing that's

[00:19:41.900]
really handy.

[00:19:44.240]
Now if we jump back, I'm gonna go ahead and click

[00:19:46.250]
here in the upper left hand corner, back to content

[00:19:50.240]
when you're on this page. Mostly folks

[00:19:52.380]
are jumping right into the practice test But I wanted

[00:19:54.480]
to point out when you use no little annotate tool here

[00:19:58.538]
that you can work through the

[00:20:00.588]
different kind of options with the practice.

[00:20:03.078]
Well, I shouldn't say option the different features

[00:20:05.259]
for the practice test within

[00:20:07.500]
it as well. So if you want to go back and review

[00:20:09.538]
grades for tests you've taken,

[00:20:11.730]
there's a quizzes section for that.

[00:20:13.730]
You can, of course, you know, go to the brain section.

[00:20:16.380]
Uh There is a

[00:20:18.528]
class progress which is handy

[00:20:20.630]
and then a system check.

[00:20:22.538]
The requirements for this resource are not

[00:20:24.588]
are pretty basic, but just in case you can

[00:20:26.848]
always take advantage of that. So this

[00:20:28.920]
will let you explore uh the

[00:20:31.068]
features of the exam as well. So I'd like to point

[00:20:33.180]
out that banner because really the focus is,

[00:20:35.640]
you know, on the practice test and that's where most folks

[00:20:37.778]
go. But if they want to kind of look at past history

[00:20:39.980]
of the exam,

[00:20:41.240]
you've got those sections up here to work with.

[00:20:44.240]
We gotta be clear these out.

[00:20:47.740]
Now. A question we get for the exams

[00:20:50.108]
in some cases is

[00:20:52.230]
um if you're working in a school setting

[00:20:54.440]
or really just stay, a student wants

[00:20:56.509]
to check their work with their teacher, I have a question,

[00:20:58.700]
you can print from the exam results,

[00:21:01.000]
but sometimes um if maybe

[00:21:03.078]
it's been given as assignment to take,

[00:21:05.200]
you know what uh Yeah practice

[00:21:07.420]
test or something like that and you want

[00:21:09.740]
to uh

[00:21:12.038]
share what you've done so far if we go into

[00:21:14.130]
class progress and click

[00:21:16.140]
on quizzes, you can see all of your attempts

[00:21:18.618]
at the various exams

[00:21:20.440]
and how well you've done. So this is something

[00:21:22.868]
that a student can print out and share with the future.

[00:21:25.328]
There isn't really a future for someone else

[00:21:27.430]
to come in and look at anyone else's account.

[00:21:30.220]
But this finding the content

[00:21:32.519]
just food. Got a nice print option here

[00:21:34.730]
at the top of the page for an ice cream print.

[00:21:36.759]
But you can share results that way with others.

[00:21:39.318]
Uh If you like.

[00:21:43.240]
So lots of good stuff there and really all

[00:21:45.368]
the tests are gonna mimic that same experience.

[00:21:47.960]
So if we go ahead I do want out we're going to kind of

[00:21:49.980]
jump over the uh find a school and

[00:21:52.068]
explore careers for a minute and go right

[00:21:54.118]
to the vocational test prep.

[00:21:56.140]
This is going to give us really

[00:21:58.269]
the same format of exams but each

[00:22:00.460]
of them are going to have their own kind of tools.

[00:22:02.630]
So kind of scroll of it here. You

[00:22:04.769]
can see there's a broken down by category.

[00:22:06.890]
So if I jump to say military, we

[00:22:09.230]
do have the asvab but then we've added some

[00:22:11.230]
recent ones over the years or in some cases e

[00:22:13.338]
books to support for example the military

[00:22:15.358]
flight aptitude

[00:22:16.640]
test. E book. When you select

[00:22:18.970]
an e book it immediately prompts

[00:22:21.130]
you to download a pdf

[00:22:23.940]
and then you can I apologize. What's up publishing

[00:22:26.088]
on this already open but don't look up pretty quick.

[00:22:28.838]
You've got that pdf to work with

[00:22:32.338]
and that's yours. It's there's no real check

[00:22:34.490]
in or check out. It's it's not like it's going to disappear

[00:22:37.019]
off you say if you put this on your own device

[00:22:39.298]
um you know if you downloaded it for offline

[00:22:41.670]
use you're going to go any time. It

[00:22:43.730]
doesn't disappear from your device after a couple

[00:22:45.930]
of weeks. It's not like an an overdrive e book

[00:22:48.150]
or anything like that. This is really just yours to then

[00:22:50.259]
use however you see fit and

[00:22:52.269]
what's nice about the books is again

[00:22:55.038]
you've got the practice test that always appear

[00:22:57.140]
at the back of the book and you know you would have

[00:22:59.160]
to do the grading yourself. It's not like the online

[00:23:01.509]
practice test but you also get all of

[00:23:03.608]
the content that perhaps you for the

[00:23:05.640]
exam.

[00:23:06.640]
So you can study with it. You learn more

[00:23:08.720]
about how the test is administered. All

[00:23:10.759]
of that information

[00:23:12.838]
that you folks are really great.

[00:23:15.140]
But if I go ahead and say jump into master the

[00:23:17.180]
asvab

[00:23:18.338]
it's going to give me the option to

[00:23:20.480]
again download that book and take advantage.

[00:23:22.740]
You can have unlimited downloads with this content

[00:23:25.940]
which fall down a bit.

[00:23:27.640]
We've got an as we have prep course

[00:23:30.538]
jump into that and you'll see it mimics the

[00:23:32.558]


[00:23:35.940]
oh we have a bad one there.

[00:23:37.980]
I'm gonna have to investigate that. This is what I get for randomly

[00:23:40.230]
selecting instead of going with Maya.

[00:23:42.940]
of course. Let's see if this one

[00:23:48.538]
larry, that's what I was looking for. So mimics what

[00:23:50.558]
we saw would be S. A. T. Prep course as

[00:23:52.598]
well. Nice

[00:23:54.980]
familiar tools as you move between them.

[00:23:57.640]
But you can again just kind of take a look

[00:24:00.000]
again, it's about to get comfortable relax

[00:24:02.068]
here. So we've got different military exams, firefighter,

[00:24:04.568]
law enforcement,

[00:24:06.038]
um postal exams, real estate

[00:24:09.240]
got a lot of options here and

[00:24:12.640]
again, unlimited use here. So folks can come

[00:24:14.808]
in and take advantage of

[00:24:16.838]
uh and all the e book content, the prep

[00:24:19.028]
course to practice us and so on.

[00:24:21.338]
And they're all going to follow that same format

[00:24:26.240]
already. So let's take a look now.

[00:24:28.318]
We're going to jump back to find a school

[00:24:30.328]
and the finest school tool again, as I mentioned

[00:24:32.680]
is going to give different options. It's not just

[00:24:34.940]
about finding a school.

[00:24:37.338]
What does I'm clicking on things in it.

[00:24:39.338]
There we go. Um The college

[00:24:41.608]
and scholarship search pages going to offer

[00:24:43.940]
us of course college searches but

[00:24:46.240]
also the the uh scholarship

[00:24:48.509]
search which is a great way

[00:24:51.440]
to find what's out there, right? It can be overwhelming

[00:24:54.200]
to go online and look for scholarships

[00:24:56.430]
search. So what's nice about this is

[00:24:58.578]
the scholarship searches searches

[00:25:00.588]
have been indexed by different

[00:25:03.380]
uh filters. So if you look over

[00:25:05.400]
on the left hand side, you can look

[00:25:07.720]
for awards based on school type,

[00:25:09.990]
ethnicity, gender.

[00:25:13.338]
Right? So again, this is where we need that, why

[00:25:15.430]
you're creating a user account, You're answering

[00:25:17.588]
some questions about yourself. In

[00:25:19.720]
this case, you've also got

[00:25:21.858]
the ability to um narrow

[00:25:24.028]
by a few more items to your area

[00:25:26.430]
of study is always a good one. So I

[00:25:28.470]
was interested in a particular program and

[00:25:30.818]
as you select over on the left was

[00:25:32.900]
quite, and perhaps the earth science,

[00:25:34.740]
it filters to scholarships on the right

[00:25:37.240]
and then we can jump in,

[00:25:39.940]
read a bit more about this labyrinth stem

[00:25:42.019]
scholarship,

[00:25:44.140]
get some backgrounds, find out how

[00:25:46.150]
to apply

[00:25:47.740]
how much money they're giving out.

[00:25:50.640]
More companies,

[00:25:53.838]
find a school will do the same thing

[00:25:55.900]
for the different college searches. So if I jump

[00:25:58.220]
into say the undergraduate school search,

[00:26:01.538]
it's going to again offer filters

[00:26:03.568]
over on the left. We can break down by location.

[00:26:06.278]
So for example, I live in new york state. So

[00:26:09.640]
in state tuition is always nice

[00:26:11.858]
to go ahead and grab the new york

[00:26:14.038]
and you can choose multiple. So this as

[00:26:16.038]
well. So it's going maybe I'm also interested

[00:26:18.390]
in massachusetts

[00:26:21.440]
go ahead and select and over

[00:26:23.618]
on the right. It just keeps filtering and working

[00:26:25.778]
with the choices that you've made

[00:26:27.950]
over on the left, the area of study.

[00:26:30.440]
And what I like about these is you

[00:26:32.578]
can certainly scroll these lists.

[00:26:34.598]
But as you start to type,

[00:26:37.240]
it will match you up so you don't have to scroll

[00:26:39.640]
these entire lists. So

[00:26:41.910]
if I'm looking to say a few different biology careers,

[00:26:45.140]
go ahead and select

[00:26:47.440]
and again, don't have to ah

[00:26:51.440]
use the uh

[00:26:53.640]
uh just a pick list

[00:26:56.338]
and you can work on things,

[00:26:58.410]
you know, area of study location of the

[00:27:00.509]
corporate standards. But I like some of these other

[00:27:02.680]
choices as well, something like setting,

[00:27:05.140]
you know, um If I, which I did

[00:27:07.390]
grow up in a small town, maybe I want to

[00:27:09.588]
mimic that experience or

[00:27:11.778]
maybe I'm looking to really

[00:27:13.900]
kind of jump up and and

[00:27:16.019]
change my, my setting

[00:27:18.019]
quite a bit. I could maybe add in urban and

[00:27:20.328]
again as I'm making this election just over

[00:27:22.420]
on the right. It's narrowing gun showing me

[00:27:25.338]
various schools

[00:27:27.240]
and if you jump in,

[00:27:29.940]
if anybody used remembers using

[00:27:32.009]
or have them on the shelf in your library.

[00:27:34.150]
Those, you know, big thick Peterson's

[00:27:36.348]
college books.

[00:27:37.838]
That's what you're getting here. You're finding

[00:27:40.098]
all of the details. If you look over on the left,

[00:27:42.250]
you've got kind of a table of contents to work through.

[00:27:44.470]
So jump into state tuitions and

[00:27:46.470]
fees, find out about their financial

[00:27:48.838]
aid situation.

[00:27:51.038]
We got there interesting statistics here.

[00:27:53.210]
I don't remember these in the books back when I

[00:27:55.358]
was using them, but I love to see this

[00:27:57.420]
data. So average percentage of financial

[00:27:59.519]
need met. Um you know,

[00:28:01.568]
I think it's important that financial

[00:28:03.990]
aid piece is so important nowadays. You

[00:28:06.400]
get all your details around campus sleight

[00:28:08.509]
of athletic programs, faculty and,

[00:28:10.880]
and so on.

[00:28:12.038]
So lots of good data. And if you haven't

[00:28:14.250]
been in this resource in a while and

[00:28:16.630]
you're using this session is a little kind of refresher.

[00:28:19.740]
Uh again, I encourage you to kind of come

[00:28:21.769]
in here and look around. There's a lot more

[00:28:23.930]
um, things a lot more visually appealing

[00:28:26.160]
than it used to be and it's more modern.

[00:28:28.509]
We're linking out to their facebook page, pulling

[00:28:31.019]
in tweets, um, for some schools.

[00:28:33.130]
So really kind of engaging way

[00:28:35.278]
to look for school and you're not getting bombarded

[00:28:37.640]
with ads. Right? So a nice

[00:28:40.140]
feature and working through library

[00:28:42.440]
resources is no ads.

[00:28:44.568]
So lots of good stuff.

[00:28:47.440]
So let's go ahead and take a look at a few more of these

[00:28:49.490]
college search options.

[00:28:51.838]
So again, we have for graduate programs,

[00:28:54.240]
but also specific types of schools. So

[00:28:56.240]
graduates, uh, distance learning

[00:28:58.500]
search, you're looking to go to school online.

[00:29:01.240]
And again, these are all gonna mimic and work the same

[00:29:03.240]
way just over on the left. You take advantage of the filters

[00:29:05.730]
that will match you up with schools on the right

[00:29:09.538]
Oh pretty.

[00:29:12.338]
And one piece I would like to show off

[00:29:14.568]
here is the college framing center also

[00:29:16.930]
underlined the school. What it does is

[00:29:19.048]
kind of gather together

[00:29:21.338]
all of the different tools and the resources,

[00:29:23.818]
but all of the different sources to help

[00:29:26.028]
plan for college. And really

[00:29:28.298]
it pulls in a lot of the career stuff

[00:29:30.460]
too. So it's all

[00:29:32.848]
one nice place. This is something again,

[00:29:34.980]
if you're in a school setting, show

[00:29:37.068]
this off during parent open houses,

[00:29:39.180]
this is really great content certainly

[00:29:41.519]
could be put to great use in the guidance

[00:29:43.618]
office as well.

[00:29:45.440]
But you've got all of the kind of help

[00:29:47.528]
and advice articles that come along with

[00:29:49.618]
choosing a career and and finding

[00:29:52.048]
the right college. They've even created these checklists

[00:29:54.670]
for both parents and students.

[00:29:56.838]
So what should I be doing as a parent of a

[00:29:58.880]
kid who was in 11th grade.

[00:30:01.240]
And what I like about the advice content

[00:30:03.318]
is it's kind of these quick

[00:30:05.240]
um articles. They're not, you know, lengthy,

[00:30:07.630]
lengthy, lengthy tones. It's just good

[00:30:09.769]
stuff to know, kind of breaking it down to the most

[00:30:11.828]
salient point.

[00:30:13.440]
So the college planning center I think is a really

[00:30:16.150]
useful piece in the resource. It links

[00:30:18.210]
out to test, you might need to take it offers.

[00:30:20.608]
Again, a lot of advice links out to various

[00:30:22.970]
searches. It just kind of pulls all

[00:30:25.078]
that content to one place. So excellent

[00:30:27.640]
resource to point both students

[00:30:29.930]
and parents to the college planning

[00:30:32.108]
center again, found it or find a school.

[00:30:35.940]
All right. So the last section we're going to take a look

[00:30:38.190]
at and spend our time in is explore

[00:30:40.190]
careers because it kind of the second most

[00:30:42.269]
used piece of this resource

[00:30:44.140]
is these career tools,

[00:30:46.200]
most specifically the resume builder.

[00:30:49.140]
I want to jump into the career tools

[00:30:51.740]
and the first thing that's gonna want you to do.

[00:30:54.058]
Sorry folks, I seem to have to keep clicking my mouse

[00:30:56.450]
twice.

[00:30:57.640]
Um when you're working with this section

[00:30:59.680]
here

[00:31:01.038]
to find a career

[00:31:02.690]
that I had to use that. This is where you're

[00:31:04.740]
going to find those career assessments. So

[00:31:06.778]
to help you find

[00:31:08.940]
the industry, the job that might suit you

[00:31:11.019]
best. You are going to have to participate

[00:31:13.170]
in the first two assessments,

[00:31:15.720]
the ones related to interests and values.

[00:31:18.009]
So I've gone ahead and done that ahead of time

[00:31:20.450]
so we can kind of take a look at what happens

[00:31:22.660]
after. But I do want to show you how these

[00:31:24.818]
assessment work because there are

[00:31:26.950]
four of them

[00:31:28.338]
and a lot of career assessments just kind

[00:31:30.509]
of asked you know, would you like to do this job?

[00:31:32.769]
Would you like to do that job? And you know that make

[00:31:35.240]
you know the judgements based on what you said yes

[00:31:37.269]
to, you know, that's one

[00:31:39.269]
way to do it. What I like about these assessments

[00:31:41.828]
is it kind of comes at it from different

[00:31:44.700]
path,

[00:31:46.140]
certainly wants to know your interest. But then it also

[00:31:48.190]
wants to know more about your values, your personality

[00:31:50.750]
and your workplace preferences because these

[00:31:52.880]
are going to impact the type of career you might fit

[00:31:54.910]
best in as well.

[00:31:56.538]
And what I also like about these is they're really engaging,

[00:31:59.098]
It's not just a bunch of multiple choice

[00:32:01.308]
questions, so I

[00:32:03.358]
think there is one that is multi,

[00:32:05.038]
but I think maybe the interest, but if

[00:32:07.058]
we're going to see a workplace preferences

[00:32:10.538]
use your little, you know, instruction on how this

[00:32:12.608]
is gonna work, but and jump in.

[00:32:15.538]
It's asking questions and

[00:32:17.598]
then it's a little more interactive than just

[00:32:19.618]
like selecting answers. So in this case,

[00:32:22.338]
uh which of these statements are

[00:32:24.420]
the four least important for you to

[00:32:26.460]
have in your ideal organization. So

[00:32:28.558]
thinking about the place you're going to work, what is

[00:32:30.630]
not that important to you

[00:32:32.740]
and then you go through and just grab each

[00:32:34.828]
of these, you move on to the next page and it will,

[00:32:37.038]
it goes through what would be most important

[00:32:39.480]
and you're kind of ranking them in order,

[00:32:41.640]
So it's engaging. But it also kind of really

[00:32:43.818]
makes people think critically about

[00:32:46.308]
their their needs and their wants

[00:32:48.808]
in this case, in the workplace or again

[00:32:50.980]
around values and the like, so we

[00:32:53.288]
do encourage folks to answer

[00:32:55.598]
all four

[00:32:57.440]
assessment sections, but again,

[00:32:59.759]
you really just have to take the first

[00:33:02.038]
two, so assessment interests and assessment

[00:33:04.440]
values, you're going to have to work through

[00:33:06.838]
and

[00:33:08.140]
then what you're gonna get is

[00:33:10.538]
I just pointed out here

[00:33:12.640]
is the option to explore your career matches.

[00:33:15.098]
So by answering those questions,

[00:33:17.098]
what does it think I'm well suited for?

[00:33:19.538]
And if we jump in,

[00:33:22.640]
I ranked highest in science

[00:33:25.118]
Engineering and Mathematics, which surprised me

[00:33:27.400]
education, which did not

[00:33:29.630]
health science and so on. Going

[00:33:31.940]
through here

[00:33:32.940]
and we're just seeing where you kind of landed

[00:33:35.160]
with these broad categories. So these by these

[00:33:37.230]
subject areas, we can always get to everything.

[00:33:39.440]
View all careers,

[00:33:41.140]
explore things that maybe didn't come up

[00:33:44.240]
All right, you know what you say, it's fast. So

[00:33:46.358]
if you all careers allows you to get to everything,

[00:33:48.940]
but if we go ahead and choose, I'm gonna grab, say, new

[00:33:51.220]
careers in education,

[00:33:53.038]
it matches you up with the career overviews

[00:33:55.490]
that fall into that subject area and

[00:33:57.558]
over on the left again, we've got filtered.

[00:34:00.140]
And what I like about this is

[00:34:02.180]
you can filter too,

[00:34:04.440]
your education experience experience

[00:34:06.630]
level. So if if my ultimate

[00:34:09.070]
goal is to go into education and maybe

[00:34:11.150]
that's going to require a Master's program,

[00:34:13.190]
what could I do right now with a bachelor's

[00:34:15.590]
degree, what could I do right now with

[00:34:17.610]
just, you know, maybe a g E D. Or something

[00:34:19.880]
like that, you get almost this kind

[00:34:21.940]
of career ladder. So maybe while I'm

[00:34:24.039]
going to school for my masters,

[00:34:26.539]
I could be doing some of these other tasks, the

[00:34:28.550]
kind of things I might be well suited for and qualified

[00:34:31.039]
for right now,

[00:34:32.440]
while I'm working towards that ultimate goal

[00:34:34.940]
that elementary

[00:34:36.440]
and you can see you can add favorites here. So something

[00:34:38.840]
looks good. You think, you know, that's something you want

[00:34:40.840]
to explore. You can add it to your favorites.

[00:34:43.840]
Right? Roll through here as well.

[00:34:47.940]
You can look at these

[00:34:49.139]
and each of them are going to and go and

[00:34:51.289]
jump into one.

[00:34:53.739]
These will be, you know, kind of familiar breaks down

[00:34:55.768]
with the job description is programs you may

[00:34:57.849]
need to be in uh degrees, you

[00:34:59.929]
may need to have what skills you'll,

[00:35:02.050]
you'll uh using the job

[00:35:04.610]
you look over to the right there. Often

[00:35:06.800]
career videos you can link into and learn

[00:35:08.889]
more average salary

[00:35:10.940]
about look which is interesting search

[00:35:13.429]
for available jobs and that's going to go ahead

[00:35:15.599]
and launch that

[00:35:17.340]
job search that we got a quick peek at earlier

[00:35:19.940]
so we can put in,

[00:35:25.739]
oh I probably should have included

[00:35:28.190]
a location as well. There we go.

[00:35:30.329]
And now once you've taken the assessments,

[00:35:32.820]
it matches up with

[00:35:35.170]
your uh

[00:35:37.440]
uh huh

[00:35:38.840]
matches pardon me

[00:35:40.440]
uh that you got from the assessment so

[00:35:42.579]
you can see where you might.

[00:35:44.940]
Why not? Well,

[00:35:46.639]
so you get those kind of and oh and I apologize

[00:35:49.050]
this okay. This I apologize folks, this is my confusion

[00:35:51.469]
before the job search that you get

[00:35:53.739]
without using the assessments

[00:35:55.820]
does come from a different parameter but here is

[00:35:57.829]
where we're using Indeed dot com

[00:36:00.530]
and I apologize because I keep thinking

[00:36:02.860]
the one replaced the other but it didn't be so honorable.

[00:36:05.929]
So with indeed dot com. What I

[00:36:07.989]
love about their site there, another great partner.

[00:36:10.610]
Um I think

[00:36:12.630]
uh really a top of the line tool

[00:36:14.739]
out there on the web because they crawl

[00:36:16.869]
other search boards. So they're looking

[00:36:19.050]
not just at, you know, openings

[00:36:21.440]
that come from other uh, kind

[00:36:23.518]
of career tools, but also they're crawling

[00:36:25.889]
company websites. They're crawling,

[00:36:28.829]
you know, different government sites that pose to

[00:36:30.880]
open positions and bring them back

[00:36:33.050]
into one place. So indeed Dot

[00:36:35.099]
com is a really great

[00:36:37.150]
resource. Your your

[00:36:38.730]
so I mean casting out a wide nap when you're looking

[00:36:40.820]
for open positions when you're using this tool. So

[00:36:43.469]
probably I spoke to my confusion on those. I don't

[00:36:45.530]
know why I can't keep that straight

[00:36:47.429]
So there we go.

[00:36:50.929]
So there are other help. There's other help here too.

[00:36:53.130]
We want to show you the resume tool,

[00:36:55.230]
but before we wrap up and let you go on with

[00:36:57.309]
the rest of your day. But if we just

[00:36:59.320]
point them out quickly, we take a look at the tools.

[00:37:01.690]
This is where you can get a lot of that advice

[00:37:04.199]
content. So advice for writing

[00:37:06.239]
your resume, your cover letters interviews,

[00:37:09.230]
There's some worksheets that can maybe help you walk

[00:37:11.539]
through learning um you know

[00:37:13.539]
what you might like as a career. So

[00:37:15.860]
lots of good stuff in this section of the resource.

[00:37:20.130]
Um Ellen, can you please show that again?

[00:37:22.139]
So I'm not sure which

[00:37:24.159]
thing you'd like me to show again. Gonna be happy to

[00:37:26.210]
us if you want to elaborate there in the chat, I will.

[00:37:29.329]
We'll definitely show again.

[00:37:31.429]
So all of this content I got

[00:37:33.719]
to through going close some

[00:37:35.719]
of these camps here

[00:37:37.329]
is through the career tools under

[00:37:39.420]
find a career.

[00:37:41.030]
So all of that content opens up

[00:37:43.230]
this halfway use section, our

[00:37:45.268]
project. Let's do that time out. There we go.

[00:37:47.730]
So it brings back all of that content

[00:37:50.730]
archer

[00:37:52.030]
how to get to Indeed, versus the other job

[00:37:54.030]
listings that he showed. Absolutely.

[00:37:55.929]
So this comes from and actually

[00:37:58.079]
let me back up.

[00:37:59.929]
So you go to the Explorer career

[00:38:01.989]
section and go into the find

[00:38:04.329]
a career. And once that opens

[00:38:06.659]
up there,

[00:38:09.719]
let me point it out here in the toolbar. So up

[00:38:11.889]
top we have this this banner that

[00:38:13.980]
follows us through our time in this section

[00:38:16.719]
and what we want

[00:38:19.018]
is that jobs button there

[00:38:22.219]
around my drawings here is like

[00:38:25.320]
and we keep you in our

[00:38:27.389]
interface here while you put in the job

[00:38:29.590]
you're interested end,

[00:38:35.518]
wow

[00:38:41.518]
and show you our matches

[00:38:44.018]
and then once you click on one of the matches,

[00:38:47.820]
Not cool anymore. But yeah, you end up

[00:38:49.940]
at indeed dot com

[00:38:52.420]
and then from there they actually link

[00:38:54.530]
out by the original posting and

[00:38:56.809]
they've got a lot of great tools here too.

[00:38:59.518]
So what you want to come in to find the indeed

[00:39:01.610]
dot com matchups

[00:39:03.518]
come to the job section of

[00:39:05.809]
the career tools here. Under find

[00:39:08.030]
a career. You're

[00:39:10.940]
welcome. No problem.

[00:39:13.518]
Alrighty so lots of good content.

[00:39:15.559]
And the career advice tool is well

[00:39:17.650]
I'll open this up. This is almost more like tutorials

[00:39:20.400]
that you work through here

[00:39:22.518]
so it will mimic coming the

[00:39:24.619]
courses that we've seen before. But you

[00:39:26.619]
just kind of pick the things that you're most interested.

[00:39:28.789]
You don't have to work through the many certain order.

[00:39:30.989]
The transitioning out of the military

[00:39:33.159]
is a really popular section

[00:39:35.170]
on data for our folks who are

[00:39:37.619]
um leaving the military coming

[00:39:39.739]
out into into civilian life.

[00:39:43.420]
The last thing I'll show you here though is

[00:39:45.599]
create a resume and this is

[00:39:47.599]
a really excellent tool. Again another partner

[00:39:49.980]
we're working the visual C. V. Here

[00:39:52.050]
which has

[00:39:54.320]
really excellent

[00:39:56.119]
um

[00:39:57.920]
building a resume tool. I mean it's just

[00:40:00.018]
I love what it does here. I think it's

[00:40:02.079]
good for beginners but also folks who are more experienced

[00:40:04.480]
in their career are looking to give their

[00:40:06.539]
resume or refresh.

[00:40:08.829]
It's really I think for everybody when

[00:40:11.360]
you come into the resource you get a little tutorial

[00:40:13.550]
about how it works which is nice but of course that's

[00:40:15.599]
what I'm here for. So let me show you

[00:40:18.309]
um one of the great things about this collection

[00:40:20.340]
is that lets you build multiple resumes.

[00:40:22.909]
So if I'm applying for different types of jobs.

[00:40:25.260]
I maybe I'm using different resumes for each

[00:40:27.349]
one. I can keep track of all of them here on

[00:40:29.409]
the home page,

[00:40:30.610]
you can see I've got a couple going already.

[00:40:33.110]
It actually allows you to create a website

[00:40:35.480]
and this is something folks are being asked for

[00:40:37.590]
more and more to kind of share a portfolio

[00:40:39.860]
of work you've done. So it will

[00:40:41.929]
walk you through creating website to post your content

[00:40:44.400]
to to post your resume to.

[00:40:46.409]
There's also which I love.

[00:40:48.579]
This new career journal tool which

[00:40:51.190]
helps you track your career accomplishments

[00:40:53.570]
over time. And this is new to the resource

[00:40:55.900]
really. I think this this week

[00:40:58.010]
um

[00:40:59.409]
or so and it kind

[00:41:01.530]
of a tool to remind you of the things

[00:41:03.690]
you've done right. It's hard to write a resume. What

[00:41:05.880]
do I do my job every day? I don't know why

[00:41:07.909]
it for me it feels hard to write down,

[00:41:10.110]
but this also has you

[00:41:12.199]
keep track of what your achievements are. So things

[00:41:14.489]
you've done big projects you've taken on and

[00:41:16.619]
then it's ready for you.

[00:41:18.309]
Uh two and include and again

[00:41:20.500]
can category on your website.

[00:41:23.710]
Yeah,

[00:41:25.210]
jump back to the resume section so

[00:41:27.820]
you can work with

[00:41:29.829]
ones you uh you know, I'm sorry

[00:41:31.920]
to put it that way, you can edit content

[00:41:33.929]
that you've created for, you can create something brand

[00:41:36.268]
new and for first time users

[00:41:38.840]
this is really handy because one

[00:41:40.960]
of the things you can do is import a

[00:41:43.059]
resume. So if you've already got say a

[00:41:45.099]
word version or pdf,

[00:41:47.309]
you can import it

[00:41:49.110]
and then you know, finish your editing

[00:41:51.329]
here. You can start from

[00:41:53.380]
scratch and just kind of fill in the blanks as

[00:41:55.539]
needed. Or I think one of the interesting

[00:41:57.869]
things here they've got this use stample content

[00:42:00.460]
and basically it lets you pick

[00:42:02.710]
from a bunch of different kind of

[00:42:04.880]
uh

[00:42:06.300]
resumes and what I like about

[00:42:08.460]
it is you get this example of what

[00:42:10.840]
something what a resume might look like

[00:42:13.090]
and while the industry may not be

[00:42:15.190]
specific to what you're looking for,

[00:42:17.250]
like say the marketing

[00:42:19.000]
um you get

[00:42:21.800]
a sense of what a resume should look like, what

[00:42:23.940]
kind of information should be there. So

[00:42:25.980]
it's it's an interesting way to kind of work with

[00:42:28.050]
an example. You just can't then

[00:42:30.059]
can go in and edit each bit of

[00:42:32.150]
the content. So

[00:42:33.699]
I have not been an executive system at

[00:42:35.809]
smith inc so I could always go in

[00:42:37.809]
and just make changes

[00:42:40.800]
and fill in the blanks here.

[00:42:43.400]
And you've got

[00:42:45.500]
a lot of formatting. Healthcare, which I appreciate.

[00:42:48.179]
That is not my forte. You know, making

[00:42:50.260]
my resume looks good. I can certainly

[00:42:52.679]
use the help if you look over on the left,

[00:42:55.199]
we've got templates, you can choose from. If

[00:42:57.268]
I open that up,

[00:42:59.099]
it will give me options for a different format.

[00:43:03.400]
This one add a little color.

[00:43:06.400]
All right and again, don't forget we

[00:43:08.460]
have those areas of database that are helping you write

[00:43:10.659]
this. So that's why it's another nice little

[00:43:12.849]
bit. We've got the database back here for

[00:43:14.920]
us. I can jump back into the career advice

[00:43:16.949]
going to the resume section as I'm working

[00:43:19.079]
on this. Right? So should I include a

[00:43:21.090]
photo or not? You know, that's that's kind of debatable

[00:43:23.510]
nowadays. So you've got the

[00:43:25.659]
career tools to help guide you,

[00:43:28.000]
right? There's lots of formatting help

[00:43:30.179]
up here at the top. So changing the colors

[00:43:32.250]
of things. Maybe if I want a blue instead,

[00:43:35.900]
make that choice.

[00:43:37.500]
Alright, take out there. Um so

[00:43:39.880]
we can, you know, make adjustments,

[00:43:41.969]
something important that you've got

[00:43:44.119]
lots of tools for the way this works. But the

[00:43:46.170]
most important thing I want to share here is

[00:43:48.400]
the settings for your resume

[00:43:51.300]
because when you're creating this right, we're in an

[00:43:53.409]
online environment. So there's the benefit

[00:43:55.469]
of the actually being able to publish it and put

[00:43:57.579]
it online if you want to. By

[00:44:00.090]
default, when you're creating a resume,

[00:44:02.380]
we are set to resume. Type

[00:44:04.469]
export only.

[00:44:05.989]
So that means I'm the only one who can

[00:44:08.010]
see this resume and I can download

[00:44:10.690]
it. I can give it to someone that

[00:44:12.909]
way. But really it's I can only take this

[00:44:15.050]
resume out of the resource and then

[00:44:17.099]
give it to someone. So certainly I can print it

[00:44:19.190]
out or I can, you know, attach it to an email

[00:44:21.480]
whatever I need to do,

[00:44:22.889]
but it's kind of the most the highest privacy

[00:44:25.210]
levels setting here is export only. So that's

[00:44:27.340]
what we default to.

[00:44:29.590]
You can also make it on the list.

[00:44:31.730]
Well, no, let me go from kind of both extremes

[00:44:34.039]
and then come back to the middle choice. So public

[00:44:36.690]
would actually publish your resume

[00:44:38.780]
out on the internet. So if someone search

[00:44:40.809]
for Stacy Knibloe, they might find this resume.

[00:44:43.989]
I even have a U R. L, but I conclude

[00:44:46.360]
and stay a cover letter. This would be the

[00:44:48.429]
U. R. L. I could just copy and paste that right

[00:44:50.599]
into a cover letter uh that I'm sending

[00:44:52.630]
to a prospective employer. They'll be able to click that

[00:44:54.780]
link and see this resume,

[00:44:56.690]
Right? But you become searchable

[00:44:58.780]
by search engines when you choose this public

[00:45:01.090]
option. So that's kind of the most extreme

[00:45:03.170]
level. The happy medium

[00:45:05.449]
is unlisted.

[00:45:07.090]
So you don't become searchable with

[00:45:09.139]
this option, you wouldn't be able to search

[00:45:11.170]
for Stacy Knibloe on the internet and find this resume,

[00:45:13.579]
but it does create a web page

[00:45:15.809]
for you. So, again, I could still choose

[00:45:17.920]
who I give it to. So again, prospective employers

[00:45:20.289]
in a cover letter or wherever I want to put it,

[00:45:22.690]
I suppose it to my linkedin page or something

[00:45:25.289]
you can use that you are around. But that's

[00:45:27.309]
the only way people will be able to find this resume

[00:45:29.570]
is if they have that.

[00:45:32.090]
So these settings are really important

[00:45:34.389]
and it is again the default

[00:45:37.250]
is always exporting,

[00:45:38.889]
but it's a great way to get your name

[00:45:41.000]
out there. If you can publish

[00:45:43.119]
this online. Right? And I don't have to create

[00:45:45.119]
a web page to do it. Visual C. V has done

[00:45:47.309]
it. So bury

[00:45:49.449]
it. So

[00:45:51.800]
lots of good stuff here. I will point

[00:45:53.820]
out, oh, um should this come up,

[00:45:55.920]
I can feel, I can see people rushing to

[00:45:57.969]
the references for help with this. So in the history

[00:46:00.360]
section you can see the different versions you've

[00:46:02.409]
created. I just created this one. So I don't

[00:46:04.570]
really have a revision history,

[00:46:06.380]
but if you've done some work you're like, oh my gosh,

[00:46:08.409]
none of this is good. I want to go back to what it was.

[00:46:10.679]
You can go back to an earlier version

[00:46:12.800]
of the resume.

[00:46:15.880]
Yeah. Really excellent tool

[00:46:18.110]
here. Again, keep in mind all the help that's within

[00:46:20.349]
the resource itself

[00:46:22.179]
to get you to um writing

[00:46:24.539]
a great resume too, so

[00:46:26.550]
that all that's there. Um and there's

[00:46:28.610]
there's good stuff in their health as well. People

[00:46:30.610]
into the knowledge center, so

[00:46:33.389]
no shortage of helpful books and

[00:46:37.380]
already, so let's go ahead and start getting

[00:46:39.820]
on with the rest of your day. We'll

[00:46:41.820]
go ahead and and wrap up here. So I do want

[00:46:43.969]
to share a couple of thoughts on,

[00:46:45.880]
you know, you are always going to be the one often

[00:46:48.360]
pointing your users to this resource, but

[00:46:50.518]
there are other ways to get them in kind of a more

[00:46:53.480]
passive way. Marc records

[00:46:55.500]
are a great way to do that. What we've done is create

[00:46:57.860]
Mark records for subject hub pages

[00:47:00.268]
and e books.

[00:47:01.579]
So the e book's pretty, you know,

[00:47:03.639]
self explanatory that Marc records going to take

[00:47:05.829]
folks right to the e book content in

[00:47:07.829]
the resource. So they search in your catalog

[00:47:10.190]
for master the asvab boom, they land

[00:47:12.518]
in the database,

[00:47:13.900]
they grabbed that length.

[00:47:15.579]
The subject hubs are those pages

[00:47:17.699]
where we've gathered all the stuff we have for

[00:47:19.730]
whatever practice exams for the college Planning

[00:47:22.090]
center, for the Career center of those

[00:47:24.179]
things.

[00:47:25.079]
That kind of home page that each of these items

[00:47:27.440]
have and directs them there. So if I come

[00:47:29.500]
into your catalog and search for

[00:47:31.510]
S A T, I'm going to land on a page that

[00:47:33.630]
gives me the online course. It gives

[00:47:35.690]
me the practice test and gives me the ebook,

[00:47:38.480]
right? So this is a great way

[00:47:40.518]
to drive users into the resource. And

[00:47:42.610]
the marc records are,

[00:47:44.880]
and of course loaded in your catalog. We also

[00:47:47.268]
have these links available though, just

[00:47:49.360]
as you are l so you can post them

[00:47:51.440]
in a tweet, you could post it into

[00:47:53.690]
an email and online newsletter.

[00:47:55.800]
Um, you know, maybe that goes out to parents or

[00:47:57.829]
patrons or something like that. So

[00:48:00.670]
where you can get all of this, the mark records

[00:48:02.889]
and the direct lengths

[00:48:05.369]
is right through our support page support dot

[00:48:07.570]
gale dot com. We've got the Marc

[00:48:09.579]
Records, we've got those, you are rows,

[00:48:11.969]
um, you can also find lots of great

[00:48:14.059]

[00:48:16.110]
school setting or you're in a public

[00:48:18.510]
library setting or well really any setting,

[00:48:20.829]
we've created a training deck for this resource.

[00:48:23.260]
So we've created a bunch of slides. You

[00:48:25.940]
customize a little bit and boom,

[00:48:27.949]
it's ready to go out to a presentation here,

[00:48:30.369]

[00:48:32.768]

[00:48:34.809]

[00:48:36.909]

[00:48:48.670]
don't recreate the wheel. We've got lots of good stuff

[00:48:50.880]

[00:48:53.449]

[00:49:26.099]

know where to go.

[00:49:29.469]
