Duration: 30 Minutes
[00:00:00.089]
Yeah.
[00:00:11.970]
Is Michael, is there a dropbox
[00:00:14.689]
in the two field? There? Are you able to
[00:00:17.079]
switch to everyone?
[00:00:18.728]
I'm only able to switch to you if
[00:00:21.109]
I can share this with you and then if
[00:00:23.260]
you can share it with everyone.
[00:00:25.208]
Well, let me
[00:00:27.530]
uh Yes, yeah, I guess, go
[00:00:29.559]
ahead and do that. I was gonna say maybe I could make you the host.
[00:00:31.670]
I don't know why we have this limitation.
[00:00:34.009]
Now with Zoom panelists used to be able
[00:00:36.240]
to do that. So let me share this with all.
[00:00:44.149]
So thank you for sharing that survey. And
[00:00:46.240]
I would just ask if folks could open that
[00:00:48.259]
up in their browser to fill up out
[00:00:50.569]
at the end of the program today. But
[00:00:52.579]
in the meantime, I wanted to say thank you again
[00:00:54.959]
to Stacy with Gail for joining
[00:00:57.158]
us for today's presentation. And thank
[00:00:59.250]
you to all of our attendees.
[00:01:02.079]
Absolutely. Thank you, Michael. Uh I appreciate
[00:01:04.829]
it. Um I think I've made an update where
[00:01:06.948]
you should be able to send to everyone now. So hopefully
[00:01:09.010]
you'll be able to surround in the chat as well.
[00:01:11.418]
Um Thanks everyone again, I'm Stacy
[00:01:13.540]
Niblo, uh your gail trainer for
[00:01:15.709]
New Jersey and Jersey clicks. So
[00:01:18.120]
glad to be with you all this afternoon
[00:01:20.349]
virtually to take a look at the new
[00:01:22.459]
career assessment tool uh that's
[00:01:24.540]
available in uh Gail presents Peterson's
[00:01:27.079]
test and career prep. Of course, one of your excellent
[00:01:29.778]
uh Jersey clicks resources
[00:01:32.355]
and I have a very
[00:01:34.614]
brief agenda. Uh We're gonna
[00:01:36.694]
be covering that new assessment tool. Some of you
[00:01:39.013]
may have heard of it before. It's called career Peach.
[00:01:41.234]
So Peterson's was able to partner with them to provide
[00:01:43.555]
it, but we're going to dive into all the details
[00:01:46.105]
and uh just as a refresher, give a quick
[00:01:48.234]
resource overview before we dive in.
[00:01:50.829]
Uh And then as always, we'll wrap up with gale support.
[00:01:53.319]
So where you can go after today, when you've got questions
[00:01:55.900]
about Peterson's or if you're looking for support.
[00:01:58.879]
Um I'm just gonna pop on video here for
[00:02:00.969]
a minute to say hello. Um
[00:02:03.500]
Later on, I'll uh I'll turn
[00:02:05.719]
that off because my uh video
[00:02:09.250]
blocks uh part of the screen in the recording.
[00:02:11.909]
We don't wanna uh interfere with uh the
[00:02:14.129]
viewing of that later. So um
[00:02:16.229]
I just want to come on and say hello and
[00:02:18.240]
I'll pop back on uh a little later
[00:02:20.258]
after we uh have gone through the resource
[00:02:22.588]
itself. So,
[00:02:24.429]
but that is our plan as we go through, feel
[00:02:26.699]
free again to use the chat and the Q and
[00:02:28.729]
A Liber. Um Michael
[00:02:30.750]
and I will both be keeping an eye on that throughout
[00:02:32.899]
the session. So happy
[00:02:34.939]
to answer any questions and I am a librarian.
[00:02:37.179]
So if I don't know the answers, I do know where to go to get them.
[00:02:40.528]
So, just a little again, reminder
[00:02:42.740]
about all the things that Gae presents Peterson's
[00:02:44.788]
test and career prep can do for
[00:02:47.118]
you. Uh We're of course thrilled to partner with Peterson's.
[00:02:49.879]
You know, I knew the Peterson's name even before
[00:02:52.069]
I went to work for Yale and, and had access
[00:02:54.338]
to this resource, you know, those big
[00:02:56.538]
books that stayed on the shelf in the library
[00:02:58.569]
or I should say, rather didn't stay on the shelf
[00:03:00.599]
in the library because they were getting checked out so
[00:03:02.710]
often. So
[00:03:04.169]
you have a lot of great content here to help folks
[00:03:06.389]
prepare for college and career related exams.
[00:03:09.379]
You even have foundational skill
[00:03:11.550]
type tutorials and test banks so folks
[00:03:13.740]
can kind of get ready for those other tests,
[00:03:15.990]
uh which I appreciate.
[00:03:17.659]
You've got a lot of great support
[00:03:19.740]
around finding the right school. So
[00:03:21.909]
two year, four year institutions, grad
[00:03:24.159]
schools, public and private. Um
[00:03:26.569]
you know, according to tuition costs,
[00:03:29.088]
things like that, there's lots of great support
[00:03:31.288]
for uh financial aid.
[00:03:33.349]
We were doing the scout
[00:03:34.490]
search. So lots of great uh content
[00:03:37.028]
around all of the, you
[00:03:39.099]
know, as I tend to think of in the college books that Peterson's
[00:03:41.389]
used to uh or not used to. It does continue
[00:03:43.788]
to produce but uh nice to
[00:03:45.849]
have it and have it all be searchable in the in
[00:03:47.868]
the format inside uh this resource.
[00:03:51.229]
And then along with the career assessment tool that we're
[00:03:53.278]
gonna be talking about, there's help for creating
[00:03:55.449]
resumes, cover letters. There's
[00:03:57.649]
a great advice bank almost
[00:03:59.960]
like going through a little on demand, learning
[00:04:02.149]
about interviewing, creating a resume
[00:04:04.618]
salary negotiations, finding the
[00:04:06.699]
right career.
[00:04:07.830]
So lots of great support
[00:04:10.569]
along those lines as well. But our
[00:04:12.679]
focus today is going
[00:04:15.020]
to be on the new career assessment
[00:04:17.250]
tool that is available inside
[00:04:19.470]
uh Peterson's test and career prep.
[00:04:21.689]
This launched um within the last couple
[00:04:23.949]
of months and it's got a few features
[00:04:26.129]
that customers were, were asking for. So
[00:04:28.149]
I'm really excited to share it with you.
[00:04:30.920]
So let's go ahead
[00:04:33.338]
and take a look at it.
[00:04:35.660]
So I've uh gone ahead
[00:04:38.259]
and gotten into the resource.
[00:04:40.290]
But as we uh know,
[00:04:42.509]
or maybe this is um a new resource
[00:04:44.928]
for you,
[00:04:46.238]
we do require users to
[00:04:48.250]
create an account inside Peterson's
[00:04:50.480]
test and career prep. They're, you know, keeping
[00:04:52.629]
track of a resume or taking a career
[00:04:54.809]
assessment.
[00:04:56.059]
Um So we, you know, you kind
[00:04:58.108]
of need that behind the user account. It allows people of course
[00:05:00.350]
to pick up where they left off and progress their learning
[00:05:02.629]
over time.
[00:05:04.149]
Um And just want to give you a little reminder about what
[00:05:06.220]
that takes.
[00:05:08.129]
So
[00:05:10.040]
don't have an account you can sign up. Now, first
[00:05:12.588]
and last name
[00:05:13.889]
and then an email address. Uh We
[00:05:16.028]
use that only to help you reset your
[00:05:18.189]
account. If you forget your password, it's not used for
[00:05:20.230]
any marketing or anything like that.
[00:05:22.259]
But folks don't always like, you know, turning
[00:05:24.399]
over their email address so you can always
[00:05:26.528]
sign up without an email user or
[00:05:28.649]
sorry without an email address and create a user
[00:05:30.790]
name instead. Um
[00:05:32.970]
It will be more of a process to
[00:05:35.069]
get your password reset if you need it. But
[00:05:37.470]
that is a possible path
[00:05:39.559]
and that's really it for
[00:05:41.579]
registering nothing else is required
[00:05:44.048]
and your account is created immediately.
[00:05:46.910]
I have gone ahead and done a little pre work.
[00:05:49.338]
So I'm gonna go ahead and log into
[00:05:51.500]
an existing account for myself. So
[00:05:53.540]
you can kind of see
[00:05:54.980]
uh the results of taking
[00:05:57.338]
the career assessment.
[00:06:00.879]
So after you're logged in which
[00:06:03.028]
for me, that's always just the best prac practice,
[00:06:05.319]
you can browse around a bit. So if you're
[00:06:07.350]
showing up a patron or a student
[00:06:09.389]
around and, and letting them know what's available,
[00:06:12.040]
you could of course click around. But as soon as
[00:06:14.088]
you want to take an exam or
[00:06:17.230]
create a resume or as we're gonna do, go
[00:06:19.420]
into the care assessment, it will prompt you to create
[00:06:21.548]
an account. So we've just already gotten that out of the
[00:06:23.670]
way. So you'll find a career assessment
[00:06:25.869]
here under explore career options.
[00:06:28.129]
It's also available from the browse menu here.
[00:06:30.338]
At the top too.
[00:06:31.689]
I tend to like
[00:06:34.278]
this path better because it's, it's just
[00:06:36.470]
a bit more task oriented and shows
[00:06:38.769]
you around a bit more, but
[00:06:41.269]
pass through there
[00:06:43.379]
and the career advice, we may come back
[00:06:45.569]
and take a look at this. We've got to come from a amount of time
[00:06:47.629]
to look at the career assessment tool, but I love
[00:06:49.889]
to show off that career advice section. So that
[00:06:51.939]
may be our next step. But here under
[00:06:53.970]
find a career is where you'll find
[00:06:56.028]
the uh career assessment
[00:06:58.189]
and just gives you the little bout tab,
[00:07:00.319]
gives you a little explanation of what's gonna happen
[00:07:02.369]
there. And
[00:07:04.439]
the add to my resources button. If this is
[00:07:06.449]
something I'm gonna come back and revisit again and again
[00:07:09.480]
would be handy to use. Add to my resources
[00:07:11.899]
is gonna give me a shortcut um
[00:07:13.959]
from my, the my resources button on the
[00:07:15.980]
home page. So we'll take a look at that later,
[00:07:18.600]
but let's go ahead and find a career.
[00:07:21.850]
Now. There is a career quiz
[00:07:23.980]
and it's about 60 questions.
[00:07:26.119]
So I did go ahead and do that
[00:07:28.199]
ahead just to not take up our time.
[00:07:30.519]
Kind of watching me answer 60 questions,
[00:07:33.290]
but I took a few screenshots
[00:07:35.559]
just so you can get a sense of the type of questions
[00:07:38.079]
that are being asked. So
[00:07:40.269]
when you start the career assessment,
[00:07:42.428]
it wants you to go through and answer these
[00:07:44.600]
questions. Is this something you would like
[00:07:46.798]
to do. It doesn't want to assume
[00:07:48.988]
any sort of skill or education.
[00:07:51.939]
You just answer if this is something you would
[00:07:54.088]
like to do and that's gonna help set
[00:07:56.278]
up and, and almost do this little personality
[00:07:58.949]
quiz and then match you up with careers,
[00:08:01.629]
uh, that you might be well suited for. So,
[00:08:04.040]
you know, do I have the, the skills
[00:08:06.488]
right now to, uh, lay brick
[00:08:08.619]
or tile? No, but that does
[00:08:10.738]
sound like something I'd like to do. I like to work
[00:08:12.889]
with my hands. So, you know, I can mark
[00:08:14.970]
that as yes,
[00:08:16.309]
again, develop a new medicine. No,
[00:08:18.559]
I don't have the skills to do that right now. But again,
[00:08:20.738]
we don't want to presume. So
[00:08:22.869]
you're just answering and this is, again,
[00:08:24.939]
I would advise your patrons, your students who are taking
[00:08:27.000]
advantage of this to answer if
[00:08:29.040]
this is something they would like to do because
[00:08:31.079]
what's great is we're gonna end
[00:08:33.119]
up matched up with careers, but it's gonna
[00:08:35.259]
give us the option of what skill or education
[00:08:37.859]
level we're at or maybe are,
[00:08:40.053]
are looking to find. So we're gonna be able to find
[00:08:42.244]
skills regardless that match up
[00:08:44.283]
or I'm sorry, careers that match up with
[00:08:46.565]
the topics we were interested in. So
[00:08:49.163]
you've got basically a five range scale there,
[00:08:51.325]
strongly dislike to strongly like
[00:08:53.835]
uh and there is an unsure. So you don't, you
[00:08:55.923]
know, always have to give an answer. But
[00:08:58.125]
again, there are about 60 of these questions. And
[00:09:00.375]
then
[00:09:02.899]
sorry, folks finding the right there, you
[00:09:05.109]
end up at the uh
[00:09:07.649]
completion of the career quiz and you
[00:09:09.769]
can jump right in and see resources
[00:09:11.969]
or, you know, folks have done this and then
[00:09:13.979]
maybe you've been away for a while, want to take it again. You can
[00:09:16.009]
always reset the quiz and try again.
[00:09:18.820]
So it's gonna lead us down a path a little bit
[00:09:20.908]
here. If I go ahead and choose to see my results,
[00:09:24.399]
these six categories
[00:09:26.889]
of the kind of personality aspects are probably
[00:09:29.129]
look familiar if you've done any sort of
[00:09:31.229]
other career assessment tool. This
[00:09:33.308]
is pretty popular way of defining
[00:09:35.639]
different types of careers to match up
[00:09:37.710]
with these personality types. So
[00:09:39.908]
enterprising conventional, realistic
[00:09:42.389]
and so on
[00:09:43.889]
and you get a top three
[00:09:46.529]
and that is gonna kind of
[00:09:48.960]
be where we might be strongest, but
[00:09:51.330]
you're not gonna be limited in looking. If
[00:09:53.469]
I decide I do wanna explore a career
[00:09:55.869]
that's more artistic. I'm gonna be able to find
[00:09:57.979]
careers like that too. It doesn't isolate
[00:10:00.320]
your results at all. Um, it highlights
[00:10:03.000]
where you're strong, but then you can always look
[00:10:05.190]
at the other options. So
[00:10:06.979]
it's given a little um,
[00:10:09.899]
tool here to get a little definition. So what
[00:10:12.190]
are enterprising, you know, careers like,
[00:10:15.288]
I'm not sure, you know what investigative,
[00:10:19.479]
right? I've got these options,
[00:10:21.619]
right? So you can get little definitions here
[00:10:23.729]
and then move on.
[00:10:25.700]
Check folks my Zoom panel is
[00:10:27.928]
blocking part of my screen. I just wanna make
[00:10:30.129]
sure. Yeah.
[00:10:32.389]
OK.
[00:10:34.229]
So then we get a little info before we
[00:10:36.250]
actually get to the careers, we're getting a little info about
[00:10:38.538]
the type of preparation that could be involved for
[00:10:40.658]
all of the careers we're gonna gonna look
[00:10:42.690]
at. So again, mentioning that, you know, we're
[00:10:44.899]
gonna have different levels. So just
[00:10:46.940]
a bit of an explanation here
[00:10:49.450]
and then speaks to those
[00:10:51.558]
five different levels that they've defined careers
[00:10:53.849]
with so little to no preparation to
[00:10:56.080]
extensive preparation needed. And
[00:10:58.500]
again, you can click into each of these.
[00:11:00.879]
So something for medium preparation
[00:11:02.950]
might need uh some education, some
[00:11:05.070]
on job experience or an associates degree.
[00:11:07.859]
And of course, we can kind of move up and down from there
[00:11:11.798]
and just see how each of these are defined. So
[00:11:13.830]
that now when we get to that next step and see
[00:11:16.070]
our career matches, we're gonna
[00:11:18.369]
have kind of a better knowledge
[00:11:20.629]
around um browsing what
[00:11:22.869]
uh my results are gonna share.
[00:11:25.580]
So let's go ahead and take a look
[00:11:27.759]
at those.
[00:11:28.960]
So by default, it's gonna match us up
[00:11:31.090]
with the, the uh top three
[00:11:33.710]
categories that I I scored
[00:11:35.729]
well in so enterprising and a couple others,
[00:11:38.769]
that's the automatic. But if you look over on
[00:11:40.830]
the left, this is how we can filter
[00:11:43.190]
and kind of work through what's in this
[00:11:45.389]
results list. So I kind of scroll
[00:11:47.779]
a bit and see what kind of,
[00:11:49.450]
uh,
[00:11:51.219]
results I have
[00:11:54.229]
and always click to view more. So kind of that.
[00:11:56.450]
Not quite an endless scroll. There is gonna be
[00:11:58.570]
an end but it loads up a few at a time.
[00:12:00.649]
Which is nice if you're on a slower data
[00:12:02.710]
connection or anything like that
[00:12:05.269]
and each of these careers you get
[00:12:07.509]
a bit of info. So quick paragraph
[00:12:09.820]
about what it's involved in, you know, a notice
[00:12:12.229]
of the industry and then off
[00:12:14.269]
to the right, we see uh the
[00:12:16.428]
median yearly income, common
[00:12:18.639]
education level and then for some degrees, you'll
[00:12:20.808]
also see basically the, well,
[00:12:22.979]
here's one projected job, job growth. So this
[00:12:25.058]
is looking about 10 years down the road. So
[00:12:27.190]
cargo and freight agents, this isn't expected
[00:12:29.729]
to grow rapidly. So these
[00:12:31.899]
job, this job will still be around 10 years from
[00:12:33.940]
now. So that's a handy uh
[00:12:36.200]
bit of data to have right
[00:12:38.649]
now. Again, I can filter this. I'm getting a lot
[00:12:40.879]
of results here. If you look over on the left
[00:12:42.969]
again, this is where we can take advantage of all those
[00:12:45.099]
tools. So job and preparation level
[00:12:47.408]
is a popular one.
[00:12:49.340]
So if I am maybe a high school student
[00:12:51.529]
and deciding what I wanna do or maybe
[00:12:53.629]
I'm, you know, trying to think of what a part time job
[00:12:55.808]
might be appealing. You know, I may not have
[00:12:57.918]
a degree yet. I don't have any experience. I could choose something
[00:13:00.219]
like little or no preparation
[00:13:02.250]
and see what's recommended. So barista,
[00:13:04.440]
I could maybe work in a coffee shop, that kind
[00:13:06.570]
of thing. And for each of these, you can click
[00:13:08.609]
in to learn more
[00:13:10.879]
and get a um you know,
[00:13:12.928]
further details around the job.
[00:13:15.029]
So little we of course know it's gonna have little to no preparation
[00:13:17.830]
needed. I can see this is a top career
[00:13:20.058]
match for me. The job opportunities
[00:13:22.168]
are bright in this field and
[00:13:24.190]
you get a little bit about what you would do
[00:13:26.330]
on the job. Again, those details around
[00:13:28.460]
salary uh and the
[00:13:30.469]
like
[00:13:31.609]
and then the skills you'll build
[00:13:33.729]
uh the abilities you'll have
[00:13:35.830]
the tech you may and you know, work with
[00:13:38.519]
and then it always offers explore more
[00:13:40.538]
as well. So something else related that
[00:13:42.570]
might, you know, sound good to us as well
[00:13:44.639]
related topic or related careers.
[00:13:47.279]
Um
[00:13:48.158]
uh and maybe a similar field.
[00:13:51.219]
So and all of this can be printed out. You've
[00:13:53.288]
got that option here. I meant to point it out
[00:13:55.399]
on our matches too. But
[00:13:57.340]
let me go ahead. Oh, that's right. This opens in a separate
[00:13:59.460]
tab. I'm so used to the back button. Let me pop
[00:14:01.570]
back uh to the other tab
[00:14:04.570]
so you can continue to work with those. So this is
[00:14:06.639]
something maybe I could do right now. Again, as a high school
[00:14:08.769]
student, if I am, you
[00:14:10.879]
know, maybe been in my, been in a career
[00:14:12.908]
for a while and looking to change up and maybe
[00:14:15.129]
do something else. I don't like the career I've
[00:14:17.279]
chosen or, or maybe, you know, of course,
[00:14:19.440]
certainly we, we've, you know, heard so many
[00:14:21.590]
companies having layoffs and things like that over
[00:14:23.668]
the last years. So you
[00:14:25.759]
can always kind of jump this up a bit.
[00:14:27.779]
If you've got a degree, you've got experience,
[00:14:30.250]
you can always change that, maybe jump up to medium
[00:14:32.440]
job preparation.
[00:14:34.639]
And again, they're still gonna have the same types of details,
[00:14:37.149]
you know, I'm at the airport a lot, so maybe air
[00:14:39.168]
traffic controller does kind of appeal to me
[00:14:41.820]
uh but not looking good for
[00:14:44.109]
the opportunities in the future. So that's good
[00:14:46.330]
to know
[00:14:47.440]
the median yearly income is good.
[00:14:49.869]
Um But we can kind of get an i an
[00:14:52.109]
idea. I love the graphics here too
[00:14:54.129]
that we uh see
[00:14:56.548]
to come along with each of the jobs that kind of visual,
[00:14:59.139]
you know, right here of the job outlook and so
[00:15:01.219]
on. But again, all
[00:15:03.359]
those details
[00:15:05.298]
to help us decide if that's something we may be interested
[00:15:07.440]
in and
[00:15:10.269]
you can play around with these is a little more as
[00:15:12.288]
well. So again, I'm still, if we let me
[00:15:14.349]
scroll back up to the top, so you can always see
[00:15:16.548]
at the top what you're filtering by. So I'm still looking
[00:15:18.798]
at all my career matches. So it, it's
[00:15:21.239]
not showing me every career out there, just
[00:15:23.460]
the ones that I match strongly with. And again, I've got my
[00:15:25.519]
medium job preparation. You can always just
[00:15:28.308]
x those out and kind of go back
[00:15:30.418]
to default, you can also change
[00:15:32.500]
it up. So if I'm specifically interested
[00:15:35.379]
in, maybe I like the definition of the
[00:15:37.460]
enterprising careers, I,
[00:15:39.678]
I can isolate to one of those
[00:15:41.700]
personality, uh types at a time
[00:15:44.340]
and see the jobs that match up with that.
[00:15:46.779]
I can also though just disable
[00:15:49.009]
that show only matches and
[00:15:51.158]
it will bring me back every job. So maybe
[00:15:53.450]
where I didn't score as well, but I still wanna
[00:15:55.668]
learn about these types of positions.
[00:15:58.109]
I've got the option to explore everything.
[00:16:00.639]
So I like this feature, you know, certainly
[00:16:02.879]
for folks who are looking for a new career scene where they matched
[00:16:05.190]
is important. But again, say you're maybe in
[00:16:07.250]
a high school setting and students need to research
[00:16:09.428]
careers, they can just come here and, and
[00:16:11.460]
browse around and don't have to kind of be tied
[00:16:13.529]
to what came up in their assessment, uh
[00:16:15.960]
and see what their areas of interest are. You know, it's a, it's
[00:16:18.219]
a big world for them, right? They might want to learn about
[00:16:20.250]
other things. So
[00:16:21.700]
those filtering tools are really handy
[00:16:23.719]
in a, in a few different ways.
[00:16:26.668]
OK. So let me just check the chat and the Q and A so
[00:16:28.808]
far
[00:16:31.840]
and put my heart in good shape. So
[00:16:33.950]
hopefully it's pretty straightforward tool
[00:16:36.048]
to use. We are again,
[00:16:38.139]
um really happy to partner with career
[00:16:40.460]
preach, uh career peach. Pardon
[00:16:42.719]
me? The assessments we had before
[00:16:44.979]
there were at least two you had to take and
[00:16:47.149]
folk didn't, folks didn't find that. Um,
[00:16:50.450]
they found a little time consuming. So, and they
[00:16:52.500]
were up to four you could take. So it was
[00:16:54.619]
a bit more complex. Folks were looking for something
[00:16:56.918]
similar. The other feature that we're,
[00:16:59.000]
we're glad to be able to offer that comes with
[00:17:01.009]
career breach. And I'm just gonna use my annotate
[00:17:03.200]
tool here. So you kind of don't
[00:17:05.449]
miss where this is in the upper right
[00:17:07.469]
hand corner.
[00:17:08.799]
You have the option of translating the
[00:17:10.880]
content into uh Spanish.
[00:17:13.920]
Let me go ahead and clear out my drawings
[00:17:16.789]
and tools so I can actually click that
[00:17:20.910]
so you can see it translates
[00:17:23.699]
not just our kind of
[00:17:25.858]
paths and our buttons and things like that,
[00:17:28.078]
it's gonna translate the content of the career
[00:17:30.140]
description. So this was a big
[00:17:32.459]
plus plus for us in um
[00:17:34.739]
in switching to career speech. This wasn't something
[00:17:36.828]
available in the career assessment before.
[00:17:39.229]
Um Spanish has been the most requested
[00:17:41.459]
language, but
[00:17:42.739]
we are always interested in Gale,
[00:17:45.019]
not just for something like Peterson's, but our other resources
[00:17:47.900]
in the languages you need in your community. So
[00:17:49.969]
if you have other suggestions, I'm happy to share
[00:17:52.098]
that back with our product manager. Um
[00:17:54.269]
But by far Spanish was our our most
[00:17:56.410]
requested um language for
[00:17:58.500]
this resource. So um career
[00:18:00.809]
peach is uh uh really
[00:18:03.509]
a great option. Yeah, unfortunately I
[00:18:05.529]
don't speak um any other
[00:18:07.568]
languages. But again, you can see if I kind of pop
[00:18:09.769]
in. It's
[00:18:12.039]
all been translated
[00:18:14.769]
very nicely for me. So
[00:18:19.229]
I am gonna go ahead and switch back to English.
[00:18:22.410]
I can navigate a little easier.
[00:18:25.439]
All right. So,
[00:18:27.279]
uh again, I think we're in good shape on the chat
[00:18:29.549]
and the Q and A
[00:18:30.880]
and you talked about the
[00:18:32.910]
filters. I'm kind of checking everything off my list
[00:18:35.140]
here, but it is a pretty straightforward tool. That's what
[00:18:37.150]
we were looking for. Something that was a little simpler
[00:18:39.309]
to work for. And I like
[00:18:41.328]
the,
[00:18:42.338]
the guided path. It kind of gives folks,
[00:18:44.588]
I, I find, you know, getting a definition for
[00:18:46.739]
the different job levels and the different personality
[00:18:49.289]
types are, are really helpful. So,
[00:18:51.439]
and they, they just,
[00:18:52.779]
you know, le leave it all out there pretty clearly.
[00:18:55.529]
So this is, of course, one way folks
[00:18:57.949]
are maybe gonna find a new career is taking advantage
[00:19:00.269]
of that career assessment as they
[00:19:02.400]
move along in their journey. The rest
[00:19:04.809]
of Peterson's is here for that as well. So if
[00:19:06.900]
there is schooling that needs to be done,
[00:19:09.250]
you've got the option
[00:19:11.259]
to, of course, find a school. We've got the school
[00:19:13.598]
search tool that can help you,
[00:19:16.078]
of course, isolate to a particular area
[00:19:18.250]
of study.
[00:19:19.568]
Uh If you're looking for, you
[00:19:21.640]
know, particular tuition,
[00:19:23.769]
which you know, who isn't,
[00:19:25.348]
but that, um, of course,
[00:19:27.608]
location, you can kind of design
[00:19:29.868]
your perfect school here. And
[00:19:32.539]
if we, I'll go ahead and
[00:19:34.410]
let me do this location first and we'll
[00:19:37.880]
New Jersey. We like that in state tuition.
[00:19:40.549]
Um And of course, can then
[00:19:43.358]
enter in your uh
[00:19:46.390]
area of study.
[00:19:55.549]
Is that not filtering for me?
[00:20:01.098]
Oh, admin, sorry, it was business administration.
[00:20:03.170]
I was looking for. That's right.
[00:20:04.660]
Um, as I select from the left,
[00:20:06.848]
it just filters over on the right to match up with
[00:20:08.890]
the schools that have the degree the, again,
[00:20:11.250]
the location I'm looking for,
[00:20:13.380]
you know, can isolate further
[00:20:15.449]
with other issues and then of course, you can pop
[00:20:17.559]
in and, and learn more about
[00:20:20.160]
the schools
[00:20:22.588]
similar to, of course, what you find in the books,
[00:20:24.789]
right? And get that date.
[00:20:26.229]
You can also though
[00:20:28.479]
take the path if we go back under career
[00:20:30.578]
options here,
[00:20:32.108]
look at that online resume builder to get
[00:20:34.118]
that ready. So again, you know, maybe as a,
[00:20:36.130]
a student who's gonna go apply at a, at
[00:20:38.368]
a coffee shop to be a barista, they've never
[00:20:40.469]
created a resume before.
[00:20:42.868]
You can always pop into this resource.
[00:20:45.189]
And, you know, you've never created one
[00:20:47.219]
before. My favorite feature here under the
[00:20:49.588]
uh resume builder is you can use example
[00:20:52.170]
content.
[00:20:53.539]
So rather than
[00:20:57.608]
kind of working from a blank
[00:20:59.838]
page, I can get an idea. Now, of course,
[00:21:01.969]
I would want to have worked as a group
[00:21:04.118]
first before putting that on my resume. But
[00:21:06.279]
it just kind of gives folks a better idea
[00:21:08.858]
of
[00:21:10.180]
what happens in the job. But also
[00:21:12.539]
I find it hard to write down what
[00:21:14.750]
I do in my job and make it sound good
[00:21:17.239]
in that kind of resume speak. So you
[00:21:19.539]
get this kind of helping hand to help you build
[00:21:21.709]
a resume
[00:21:23.348]
so
[00:21:24.348]
really handy.
[00:21:25.809]
And then as you're moving through again,
[00:21:28.088]
the process
[00:21:29.630]
there is support here from career advice.
[00:21:32.519]
This is going to offer
[00:21:35.098]
help for kind of all steps along
[00:21:37.229]
the Jersey,
[00:21:38.160]
uh uh sorry, New Jersey,
[00:21:40.368]
all the steps along the journey.
[00:21:42.880]
So there's actually some basically
[00:21:45.088]
almost like almost like on demand learning
[00:21:47.449]
is what you're using here. It's a bunch of tutorials
[00:21:50.289]
and um steps you walk through. So kind
[00:21:52.380]
of performing a self assessment along with the
[00:21:54.469]
career assessment, how to search
[00:21:56.729]
for a job, write a cover letter,
[00:21:58.809]
the basics of a resume all
[00:22:01.150]
the way through interviewing salary negotiations.
[00:22:03.828]
If we've got folks who are again
[00:22:06.150]
making a career change, they want to do something
[00:22:08.509]
new tutorials for that, transitioning
[00:22:10.750]
out of the military. And again,
[00:22:12.799]
each of these are just gonna walk you through
[00:22:15.019]
in kind of this on demand learning format.
[00:22:17.920]
You can see over on the left, almost like a table
[00:22:20.029]
of contents. You don't have to go in any particular
[00:22:22.420]
order. Uh But you just
[00:22:24.640]
kind of can follow along here jump to the
[00:22:26.709]
sections that work for you or just keep moving
[00:22:29.039]
through each section consecutively.
[00:22:32.469]
But getting a little additional support at
[00:22:34.630]
your own pace on all of these
[00:22:36.858]
paths is really helpful in that
[00:22:38.900]
career advice section. So
[00:22:41.670]
the career assessment itself
[00:22:43.709]
is of course, the star of our show today, but
[00:22:46.000]
you really have a lot of great support
[00:22:48.259]
under that whole section uh
[00:22:50.920]
or explore career options. But then of
[00:22:53.059]
course, all the others that come with that as well.
[00:22:56.009]
So lots of good stuff there.
[00:22:58.868]
Just gonna check the chat and Q and A because
[00:23:01.068]
I've kind of, I've checked off my list here of everything
[00:23:03.328]
we wanted to show you. So
[00:23:06.180]
I think we're in good shape. I've got a few
[00:23:08.250]
slides, just a couple of things to mention.
[00:23:11.809]
So
[00:23:13.108]
again, we gotta look at what the career assessment
[00:23:15.279]
questions look like. You all have unlimited
[00:23:17.559]
use of this resource. So feel free to create
[00:23:19.618]
that kind of create a dummy account to go in there
[00:23:21.689]
and play around with and, and maybe take the career
[00:23:23.900]
assessment.
[00:23:24.969]
Um You know, love to see how
[00:23:27.189]
the, you know, uh
[00:23:29.390]
uh library uh librarian
[00:23:31.598]
uh path comes up for, for everybody.
[00:23:34.269]
Uh I did also want to share the resource
[00:23:36.479]
is mobile responsive. Um And
[00:23:38.719]
so I wanna show folks what that looks like
[00:23:40.729]
because I think a lot of times
[00:23:42.779]
particularly for myself, I like to do a lot
[00:23:45.049]
of this from my, my laptop.
[00:23:47.259]
I'm a bigger screen. Person.
[00:23:49.380]
Uh, but it really is
[00:23:51.410]
easy to use on your phone
[00:23:53.729]
or in a much smaller screen
[00:23:55.689]
because it is mobile, responsive,
[00:23:58.118]
not just compliant but responsive.
[00:24:00.799]
It knows you're using a smaller screen so you
[00:24:02.818]
can kind of see how things shrink
[00:24:05.219]
in a bit. Maybe you're scrolling up and down a little
[00:24:07.430]
more because we've got a narrower screen rather
[00:24:09.660]
than a wider one, but
[00:24:11.920]
everything fits. So I've got just a, a few different
[00:24:14.160]
screenshots to show you that look. Um
[00:24:16.699]
because there's certainly my nieces and nephews do a
[00:24:18.709]
lot more work from their phones than I
[00:24:20.719]
do. But you're gonna have a, a good experience
[00:24:22.920]
with this resource if you are coming
[00:24:25.118]
to it through your phone.
[00:24:28.009]
Ok. And then lastly, we've
[00:24:30.189]
got some great tools to help you drive users
[00:24:32.309]
to this resource. So we're gonna talk about promotional
[00:24:34.750]
materials in a minute. This is more
[00:24:36.910]
coming from the different tools
[00:24:38.920]
you have maybe off your website. So
[00:24:41.219]
certainly into your catalog. But
[00:24:43.229]
also just if you've got lib guides
[00:24:45.348]
or different sections of your web page
[00:24:47.410]
that speak to these types of tools, you
[00:24:49.479]
know, helping prepare for college and career,
[00:24:51.979]
we have built mark records
[00:24:54.400]
um that hold the
[00:24:57.809]
uh
[00:24:58.759]
856 tag with a URL
[00:25:01.469]
that will drop you directly into
[00:25:04.180]
the ebook content that's available
[00:25:06.189]
in Peterson's, but also what we call the
[00:25:08.209]
subject hubs. So there's pages
[00:25:10.489]
where you kind of get that list. If we,
[00:25:12.640]
if you look at the, actually both of these are examples
[00:25:14.699]
of what hub pages might look like with these screenshots.
[00:25:17.680]
They take you into
[00:25:20.279]
directly into the resource and land
[00:25:22.709]
you on these pages. So you just can pick
[00:25:24.949]
right up with maybe preparing for
[00:25:27.049]
the, for the nclex, right?
[00:25:29.539]
So the markers are really handy if
[00:25:31.750]
you know, certainly you've got, that's probably the,
[00:25:34.130]
you know,
[00:25:35.108]
one of the most popular things on your website,
[00:25:37.118]
right? Folks going into the catalog. So it's a great
[00:25:39.209]
way to help folks discover Peterson's content
[00:25:41.358]
there. We also though have direct
[00:25:43.539]
URL S for this for the subject tab.
[00:25:45.670]
So again, if you're using lib guides or other
[00:25:47.699]
paths on your website and just want
[00:25:49.769]
some links that go directly into the
[00:25:51.930]
particular pieces of the resource like
[00:25:54.049]
the, the career uh support section,
[00:25:57.078]
the subject Tub Direct URL
[00:25:59.098]
S will get them there as well. So
[00:26:01.150]
great ways to help folks discover this
[00:26:03.328]
kind of organically when they're using your
[00:26:05.509]
website.
[00:26:06.900]
But then of course, we've got lots of support to help them
[00:26:09.009]
discover it maybe with a bit more of a push.
[00:26:11.209]
So if you have a social media pa uh pages
[00:26:14.019]
that you use like Instagram or, or
[00:26:16.219]
Facebook or anything like that, we've got
[00:26:18.439]
social media posts ready to go.
[00:26:20.660]
Uh no need to recreate the wheel. We've got them for
[00:26:22.910]
you. We've got digital signage you could
[00:26:25.059]
use in the library and other a bunch of other digital
[00:26:27.390]
assets. But then we've also got things like bookmarks,
[00:26:29.848]
you know, you want to print out some bookmarks and share those
[00:26:32.000]
at a program or maybe you're again
[00:26:35.650]
in a school library and you've got an open house coming
[00:26:37.989]
up, you want, you know, parents to take some, some
[00:26:40.289]
tools home with them. The, the bookmarks
[00:26:42.449]
and things like tip sheets even are really handy.
[00:26:44.689]
We've got lots of great training materials
[00:26:47.068]
too. So if there's staff who couldn't attend
[00:26:49.239]
today, we've got recorded webinars,
[00:26:51.568]
we've got resource guides to walk
[00:26:53.699]
them through the resources. Um There's
[00:26:55.890]
even activities, lesson plans and
[00:26:57.969]
things like that, that incorporate the resources.
[00:27:00.358]
So, you know, you can share with your teachers
[00:27:02.529]
about how
[00:27:04.309]
uh they might put these resources to work in the classroom.
[00:27:07.098]
Um or, and you know, and certainly in this case, you
[00:27:09.180]
wanna let your guidance counselors know and things like
[00:27:11.348]
that. So,
[00:27:12.630]
uh there's also though, though
[00:27:15.160]
I mentioned outreach, certainly the promotional materials,
[00:27:17.479]
but we've also got training decks in the training
[00:27:19.489]
center so that if you again are doing outreach,
[00:27:21.719]
maybe a program
[00:27:23.239]
um in the library, outreach into the classrooms,
[00:27:25.818]
we have slides for you. You don't
[00:27:28.019]
have to, again, create those and everything is customizable,
[00:27:31.250]
but it's nice to have something to start from.
[00:27:33.680]
And then of course, all of our, our tech support is
[00:27:35.709]
available on the support page as well. So
[00:27:37.729]
what's great about the support site is you go to support.gail.com/njsl
[00:27:43.189]
and it will ask you to select your library from
[00:27:45.400]
the dropbox list and then everything
[00:27:47.759]
is customized for your library. So all the links
[00:27:50.189]
we give you all the Mark records. It's all
[00:27:52.539]
built in to tie to your
[00:27:54.618]
library. So really
[00:27:56.789]
beneficial to start out with that um
[00:27:58.969]
specific support page rather
[00:28:01.009]
than our general one.
[00:28:02.848]
Now, I will have a follow up email
[00:28:04.930]
that's gonna come to you around this time tomorrow. It will
[00:28:06.949]
have a link to the recording, but also all
[00:28:09.108]
of these email addresses that are on this
[00:28:11.118]
side, all of the links for the content that's on the
[00:28:13.209]
previous side will be in that
[00:28:15.219]
email.
[00:28:16.838]
So no need to rush to write these down.
[00:28:19.368]
Um But you can of course, always reach
[00:28:21.608]
out to a person. The support site is great for
[00:28:23.630]
on demand support. But when you have
[00:28:25.949]
questions or you know, want
[00:28:28.180]
to provide feedback, you always
[00:28:30.269]
want to reach out to a person.
[00:28:31.910]
So you've got your Gael team
[00:28:34.164]
ready for you here. So again, I'm
[00:28:36.255]
your trainer. If I don't have the answer, I know where
[00:28:38.375]
to go to get it to. So feel free to start with me.
[00:28:41.015]
But we've got two great groups at Gale that
[00:28:43.203]
I think are always a good first touch for library
[00:28:45.515]
staff. And that is
[00:28:47.055]
uh for K 12 public and special library,
[00:28:49.243]
gonna be our customer success team
[00:28:51.723]
and then for academic libraries, our academic
[00:28:54.104]
outreach and engagement services team. So
[00:28:57.108]
they can help you if you're doing any, any promotional
[00:28:59.699]
efforts. If you are looking
[00:29:01.739]
uh again for
[00:29:03.289]
maybe success, success stories or materials
[00:29:05.699]
to use as you are maybe offering
[00:29:08.059]
training and outreach on these resources.
[00:29:10.848]
Of course, if you got feedback for us suggestions,
[00:29:13.779]
these are great groups to work with.
[00:29:16.160]
So tech support of course is always
[00:29:18.420]
available. And actually, you know what, I'm gonna
[00:29:20.519]
edit this slide while I'm
[00:29:22.549]
here just I'll again have this in
[00:29:24.598]
my email. But for technical support,
[00:29:27.118]
I always like to mention the 800 number
[00:29:31.000]
because we are,
[00:29:33.699]
you know, of course, very
[00:29:35.769]
email minded, I think for a lot of things.
[00:29:37.809]
But with tech support, if you're having a problem, I like you to
[00:29:39.949]
get immediate help and that's what that 800 number
[00:29:42.009]
is really good for. So having trouble with
[00:29:44.170]
the links can't get in,
[00:29:46.019]
that's who you want to reach out to.
[00:29:47.910]
And then of course, you can always find uh your gale
[00:29:49.989]
account rep if you're interested in looking at other gale resources.
[00:29:52.818]
And of course, as we mentioned the the support
[00:29:54.939]
site for, for Jersey clicks. So
[00:29:57.299]
lots of ways to connect with your gale team.
[00:29:59.969]
Definitely do reach out. Don't suffer in
[00:30:02.000]
silence. We wanna hear from you.
[00:30:04.598]
So Michael, anything to add before we
[00:30:06.699]
wrap up?
[00:30:09.969]
Um No, nothing to add at this time.
[00:30:12.160]
Um You know, we've uh we've had a few
[00:30:14.598]
um libraries reach out with
[00:30:16.838]
uh interest and you know that weren't originally implemented
[00:30:19.279]
in, in some of our church
[00:30:20.519]
clicks databases. So if you are here from
[00:30:22.549]
a public or school or academic
[00:30:25.009]
library and you're not sure sure if you
[00:30:27.059]
ever set up for, you know, either IP X
[00:30:29.219]
um
[00:30:30.160]
IP authentication um
[00:30:32.348]
or to get your stats, you can always reach out
[00:30:34.420]
and we can always check into that for you. Um
[00:30:36.549]
But in the meantime, I wanted to say thank
[00:30:38.759]
you again to our attendees and thank you to Stacey
[00:30:41.029]
for joining us today.
[00:30:42.459]
Um
[00:30:43.269]
I can see that um Stacey has put that
[00:30:45.578]
uh link into the chat here. I'm just gonna drop
[00:30:47.789]
it in one more time um for people
[00:30:49.949]
who can fill out um if you wouldn't mind filling out an
[00:30:52.029]
evaluation survey at the conclusion of this program.
[00:30:54.739]
But again, uh thank you for uh you know,
[00:30:56.759]
for sharing this information today.
[00:30:59.049]
Oh, absolutely happy to do it. I hope
[00:31:01.239]
you'll all jump in and take a look
[00:31:03.368]
at the new uh career coach option
[00:31:06.059]
uh with the career assessment and, and have
[00:31:08.140]
a look around lots of good stuff there. So
[00:31:10.618]
I'm gonna go ahead and kind of keep the webinar open
[00:31:12.779]
in case any questions should come in. But
[00:31:14.818]
folks, if you're all set, thanks so much for tuning
[00:31:17.019]
in today. Keep an eye out that email will come to
[00:31:19.180]
you around this time tomorrow with again,
[00:31:21.439]
all this, you know, contact information
[00:31:23.828]
as well as a link to the recording and some other good stuff
[00:31:26.039]
too. So, thanks all.
Yeah.
[00:00:11.970]
Is Michael, is there a dropbox
[00:00:14.689]
in the two field? There? Are you able to
[00:00:17.079]
switch to everyone?
[00:00:18.728]
I'm only able to switch to you if
[00:00:21.109]
I can share this with you and then if
[00:00:23.260]
you can share it with everyone.
[00:00:25.208]
Well, let me
[00:00:27.530]
uh Yes, yeah, I guess, go
[00:00:29.559]
ahead and do that. I was gonna say maybe I could make you the host.
[00:00:31.670]
I don't know why we have this limitation.
[00:00:34.009]
Now with Zoom panelists used to be able
[00:00:36.240]
to do that. So let me share this with all.
[00:00:44.149]
So thank you for sharing that survey. And
[00:00:46.240]
I would just ask if folks could open that
[00:00:48.259]
up in their browser to fill up out
[00:00:50.569]
at the end of the program today. But
[00:00:52.579]
in the meantime, I wanted to say thank you again
[00:00:54.959]
to Stacy with Gail for joining
[00:00:57.158]
us for today's presentation. And thank
[00:00:59.250]
you to all of our attendees.
[00:01:02.079]
Absolutely. Thank you, Michael. Uh I appreciate
[00:01:04.829]
it. Um I think I've made an update where
[00:01:06.948]
you should be able to send to everyone now. So hopefully
[00:01:09.010]
you'll be able to surround in the chat as well.
[00:01:11.418]
Um Thanks everyone again, I'm Stacy
[00:01:13.540]
Niblo, uh your gail trainer for
[00:01:15.709]
New Jersey and Jersey clicks. So
[00:01:18.120]
glad to be with you all this afternoon
[00:01:20.349]
virtually to take a look at the new
[00:01:22.459]
career assessment tool uh that's
[00:01:24.540]
available in uh Gail presents Peterson's
[00:01:27.079]
test and career prep. Of course, one of your excellent
[00:01:29.778]
uh Jersey clicks resources
[00:01:32.355]
and I have a very
[00:01:34.614]
brief agenda. Uh We're gonna
[00:01:36.694]
be covering that new assessment tool. Some of you
[00:01:39.013]
may have heard of it before. It's called career Peach.
[00:01:41.234]
So Peterson's was able to partner with them to provide
[00:01:43.555]
it, but we're going to dive into all the details
[00:01:46.105]
and uh just as a refresher, give a quick
[00:01:48.234]
resource overview before we dive in.
[00:01:50.829]
Uh And then as always, we'll wrap up with gale support.
[00:01:53.319]
So where you can go after today, when you've got questions
[00:01:55.900]
about Peterson's or if you're looking for support.
[00:01:58.879]
Um I'm just gonna pop on video here for
[00:02:00.969]
a minute to say hello. Um
[00:02:03.500]
Later on, I'll uh I'll turn
[00:02:05.719]
that off because my uh video
[00:02:09.250]
blocks uh part of the screen in the recording.
[00:02:11.909]
We don't wanna uh interfere with uh the
[00:02:14.129]
viewing of that later. So um
[00:02:16.229]
I just want to come on and say hello and
[00:02:18.240]
I'll pop back on uh a little later
[00:02:20.258]
after we uh have gone through the resource
[00:02:22.588]
itself. So,
[00:02:24.429]
but that is our plan as we go through, feel
[00:02:26.699]
free again to use the chat and the Q and
[00:02:28.729]
A Liber. Um Michael
[00:02:30.750]
and I will both be keeping an eye on that throughout
[00:02:32.899]
the session. So happy
[00:02:34.939]
to answer any questions and I am a librarian.
[00:02:37.179]
So if I don't know the answers, I do know where to go to get them.
[00:02:40.528]
So, just a little again, reminder
[00:02:42.740]
about all the things that Gae presents Peterson's
[00:02:44.788]
test and career prep can do for
[00:02:47.118]
you. Uh We're of course thrilled to partner with Peterson's.
[00:02:49.879]
You know, I knew the Peterson's name even before
[00:02:52.069]
I went to work for Yale and, and had access
[00:02:54.338]
to this resource, you know, those big
[00:02:56.538]
books that stayed on the shelf in the library
[00:02:58.569]
or I should say, rather didn't stay on the shelf
[00:03:00.599]
in the library because they were getting checked out so
[00:03:02.710]
often. So
[00:03:04.169]
you have a lot of great content here to help folks
[00:03:06.389]
prepare for college and career related exams.
[00:03:09.379]
You even have foundational skill
[00:03:11.550]
type tutorials and test banks so folks
[00:03:13.740]
can kind of get ready for those other tests,
[00:03:15.990]
uh which I appreciate.
[00:03:17.659]
You've got a lot of great support
[00:03:19.740]
around finding the right school. So
[00:03:21.909]
two year, four year institutions, grad
[00:03:24.159]
schools, public and private. Um
[00:03:26.569]
you know, according to tuition costs,
[00:03:29.088]
things like that, there's lots of great support
[00:03:31.288]
for uh financial aid.
[00:03:33.349]
We were doing the scout
[00:03:34.490]
search. So lots of great uh content
[00:03:37.028]
around all of the, you
[00:03:39.099]
know, as I tend to think of in the college books that Peterson's
[00:03:41.389]
used to uh or not used to. It does continue
[00:03:43.788]
to produce but uh nice to
[00:03:45.849]
have it and have it all be searchable in the in
[00:03:47.868]
the format inside uh this resource.
[00:03:51.229]
And then along with the career assessment tool that we're
[00:03:53.278]
gonna be talking about, there's help for creating
[00:03:55.449]
resumes, cover letters. There's
[00:03:57.649]
a great advice bank almost
[00:03:59.960]
like going through a little on demand, learning
[00:04:02.149]
about interviewing, creating a resume
[00:04:04.618]
salary negotiations, finding the
[00:04:06.699]
right career.
[00:04:07.830]
So lots of great support
[00:04:10.569]
along those lines as well. But our
[00:04:12.679]
focus today is going
[00:04:15.020]
to be on the new career assessment
[00:04:17.250]
tool that is available inside
[00:04:19.470]
uh Peterson's test and career prep.
[00:04:21.689]
This launched um within the last couple
[00:04:23.949]
of months and it's got a few features
[00:04:26.129]
that customers were, were asking for. So
[00:04:28.149]
I'm really excited to share it with you.
[00:04:30.920]
So let's go ahead
[00:04:33.338]
and take a look at it.
[00:04:35.660]
So I've uh gone ahead
[00:04:38.259]
and gotten into the resource.
[00:04:40.290]
But as we uh know,
[00:04:42.509]
or maybe this is um a new resource
[00:04:44.928]
for you,
[00:04:46.238]
we do require users to
[00:04:48.250]
create an account inside Peterson's
[00:04:50.480]
test and career prep. They're, you know, keeping
[00:04:52.629]
track of a resume or taking a career
[00:04:54.809]
assessment.
[00:04:56.059]
Um So we, you know, you kind
[00:04:58.108]
of need that behind the user account. It allows people of course
[00:05:00.350]
to pick up where they left off and progress their learning
[00:05:02.629]
over time.
[00:05:04.149]
Um And just want to give you a little reminder about what
[00:05:06.220]
that takes.
[00:05:08.129]
So
[00:05:10.040]
don't have an account you can sign up. Now, first
[00:05:12.588]
and last name
[00:05:13.889]
and then an email address. Uh We
[00:05:16.028]
use that only to help you reset your
[00:05:18.189]
account. If you forget your password, it's not used for
[00:05:20.230]
any marketing or anything like that.
[00:05:22.259]
But folks don't always like, you know, turning
[00:05:24.399]
over their email address so you can always
[00:05:26.528]
sign up without an email user or
[00:05:28.649]
sorry without an email address and create a user
[00:05:30.790]
name instead. Um
[00:05:32.970]
It will be more of a process to
[00:05:35.069]
get your password reset if you need it. But
[00:05:37.470]
that is a possible path
[00:05:39.559]
and that's really it for
[00:05:41.579]
registering nothing else is required
[00:05:44.048]
and your account is created immediately.
[00:05:46.910]
I have gone ahead and done a little pre work.
[00:05:49.338]
So I'm gonna go ahead and log into
[00:05:51.500]
an existing account for myself. So
[00:05:53.540]
you can kind of see
[00:05:54.980]
uh the results of taking
[00:05:57.338]
the career assessment.
[00:06:00.879]
So after you're logged in which
[00:06:03.028]
for me, that's always just the best prac practice,
[00:06:05.319]
you can browse around a bit. So if you're
[00:06:07.350]
showing up a patron or a student
[00:06:09.389]
around and, and letting them know what's available,
[00:06:12.040]
you could of course click around. But as soon as
[00:06:14.088]
you want to take an exam or
[00:06:17.230]
create a resume or as we're gonna do, go
[00:06:19.420]
into the care assessment, it will prompt you to create
[00:06:21.548]
an account. So we've just already gotten that out of the
[00:06:23.670]
way. So you'll find a career assessment
[00:06:25.869]
here under explore career options.
[00:06:28.129]
It's also available from the browse menu here.
[00:06:30.338]
At the top too.
[00:06:31.689]
I tend to like
[00:06:34.278]
this path better because it's, it's just
[00:06:36.470]
a bit more task oriented and shows
[00:06:38.769]
you around a bit more, but
[00:06:41.269]
pass through there
[00:06:43.379]
and the career advice, we may come back
[00:06:45.569]
and take a look at this. We've got to come from a amount of time
[00:06:47.629]
to look at the career assessment tool, but I love
[00:06:49.889]
to show off that career advice section. So that
[00:06:51.939]
may be our next step. But here under
[00:06:53.970]
find a career is where you'll find
[00:06:56.028]
the uh career assessment
[00:06:58.189]
and just gives you the little bout tab,
[00:07:00.319]
gives you a little explanation of what's gonna happen
[00:07:02.369]
there. And
[00:07:04.439]
the add to my resources button. If this is
[00:07:06.449]
something I'm gonna come back and revisit again and again
[00:07:09.480]
would be handy to use. Add to my resources
[00:07:11.899]
is gonna give me a shortcut um
[00:07:13.959]
from my, the my resources button on the
[00:07:15.980]
home page. So we'll take a look at that later,
[00:07:18.600]
but let's go ahead and find a career.
[00:07:21.850]
Now. There is a career quiz
[00:07:23.980]
and it's about 60 questions.
[00:07:26.119]
So I did go ahead and do that
[00:07:28.199]
ahead just to not take up our time.
[00:07:30.519]
Kind of watching me answer 60 questions,
[00:07:33.290]
but I took a few screenshots
[00:07:35.559]
just so you can get a sense of the type of questions
[00:07:38.079]
that are being asked. So
[00:07:40.269]
when you start the career assessment,
[00:07:42.428]
it wants you to go through and answer these
[00:07:44.600]
questions. Is this something you would like
[00:07:46.798]
to do. It doesn't want to assume
[00:07:48.988]
any sort of skill or education.
[00:07:51.939]
You just answer if this is something you would
[00:07:54.088]
like to do and that's gonna help set
[00:07:56.278]
up and, and almost do this little personality
[00:07:58.949]
quiz and then match you up with careers,
[00:08:01.629]
uh, that you might be well suited for. So,
[00:08:04.040]
you know, do I have the, the skills
[00:08:06.488]
right now to, uh, lay brick
[00:08:08.619]
or tile? No, but that does
[00:08:10.738]
sound like something I'd like to do. I like to work
[00:08:12.889]
with my hands. So, you know, I can mark
[00:08:14.970]
that as yes,
[00:08:16.309]
again, develop a new medicine. No,
[00:08:18.559]
I don't have the skills to do that right now. But again,
[00:08:20.738]
we don't want to presume. So
[00:08:22.869]
you're just answering and this is, again,
[00:08:24.939]
I would advise your patrons, your students who are taking
[00:08:27.000]
advantage of this to answer if
[00:08:29.040]
this is something they would like to do because
[00:08:31.079]
what's great is we're gonna end
[00:08:33.119]
up matched up with careers, but it's gonna
[00:08:35.259]
give us the option of what skill or education
[00:08:37.859]
level we're at or maybe are,
[00:08:40.053]
are looking to find. So we're gonna be able to find
[00:08:42.244]
skills regardless that match up
[00:08:44.283]
or I'm sorry, careers that match up with
[00:08:46.565]
the topics we were interested in. So
[00:08:49.163]
you've got basically a five range scale there,
[00:08:51.325]
strongly dislike to strongly like
[00:08:53.835]
uh and there is an unsure. So you don't, you
[00:08:55.923]
know, always have to give an answer. But
[00:08:58.125]
again, there are about 60 of these questions. And
[00:09:00.375]
then
[00:09:02.899]
sorry, folks finding the right there, you
[00:09:05.109]
end up at the uh
[00:09:07.649]
completion of the career quiz and you
[00:09:09.769]
can jump right in and see resources
[00:09:11.969]
or, you know, folks have done this and then
[00:09:13.979]
maybe you've been away for a while, want to take it again. You can
[00:09:16.009]
always reset the quiz and try again.
[00:09:18.820]
So it's gonna lead us down a path a little bit
[00:09:20.908]
here. If I go ahead and choose to see my results,
[00:09:24.399]
these six categories
[00:09:26.889]
of the kind of personality aspects are probably
[00:09:29.129]
look familiar if you've done any sort of
[00:09:31.229]
other career assessment tool. This
[00:09:33.308]
is pretty popular way of defining
[00:09:35.639]
different types of careers to match up
[00:09:37.710]
with these personality types. So
[00:09:39.908]
enterprising conventional, realistic
[00:09:42.389]
and so on
[00:09:43.889]
and you get a top three
[00:09:46.529]
and that is gonna kind of
[00:09:48.960]
be where we might be strongest, but
[00:09:51.330]
you're not gonna be limited in looking. If
[00:09:53.469]
I decide I do wanna explore a career
[00:09:55.869]
that's more artistic. I'm gonna be able to find
[00:09:57.979]
careers like that too. It doesn't isolate
[00:10:00.320]
your results at all. Um, it highlights
[00:10:03.000]
where you're strong, but then you can always look
[00:10:05.190]
at the other options. So
[00:10:06.979]
it's given a little um,
[00:10:09.899]
tool here to get a little definition. So what
[00:10:12.190]
are enterprising, you know, careers like,
[00:10:15.288]
I'm not sure, you know what investigative,
[00:10:19.479]
right? I've got these options,
[00:10:21.619]
right? So you can get little definitions here
[00:10:23.729]
and then move on.
[00:10:25.700]
Check folks my Zoom panel is
[00:10:27.928]
blocking part of my screen. I just wanna make
[00:10:30.129]
sure. Yeah.
[00:10:32.389]
OK.
[00:10:34.229]
So then we get a little info before we
[00:10:36.250]
actually get to the careers, we're getting a little info about
[00:10:38.538]
the type of preparation that could be involved for
[00:10:40.658]
all of the careers we're gonna gonna look
[00:10:42.690]
at. So again, mentioning that, you know, we're
[00:10:44.899]
gonna have different levels. So just
[00:10:46.940]
a bit of an explanation here
[00:10:49.450]
and then speaks to those
[00:10:51.558]
five different levels that they've defined careers
[00:10:53.849]
with so little to no preparation to
[00:10:56.080]
extensive preparation needed. And
[00:10:58.500]
again, you can click into each of these.
[00:11:00.879]
So something for medium preparation
[00:11:02.950]
might need uh some education, some
[00:11:05.070]
on job experience or an associates degree.
[00:11:07.859]
And of course, we can kind of move up and down from there
[00:11:11.798]
and just see how each of these are defined. So
[00:11:13.830]
that now when we get to that next step and see
[00:11:16.070]
our career matches, we're gonna
[00:11:18.369]
have kind of a better knowledge
[00:11:20.629]
around um browsing what
[00:11:22.869]
uh my results are gonna share.
[00:11:25.580]
So let's go ahead and take a look
[00:11:27.759]
at those.
[00:11:28.960]
So by default, it's gonna match us up
[00:11:31.090]
with the, the uh top three
[00:11:33.710]
categories that I I scored
[00:11:35.729]
well in so enterprising and a couple others,
[00:11:38.769]
that's the automatic. But if you look over on
[00:11:40.830]
the left, this is how we can filter
[00:11:43.190]
and kind of work through what's in this
[00:11:45.389]
results list. So I kind of scroll
[00:11:47.779]
a bit and see what kind of,
[00:11:49.450]
uh,
[00:11:51.219]
results I have
[00:11:54.229]
and always click to view more. So kind of that.
[00:11:56.450]
Not quite an endless scroll. There is gonna be
[00:11:58.570]
an end but it loads up a few at a time.
[00:12:00.649]
Which is nice if you're on a slower data
[00:12:02.710]
connection or anything like that
[00:12:05.269]
and each of these careers you get
[00:12:07.509]
a bit of info. So quick paragraph
[00:12:09.820]
about what it's involved in, you know, a notice
[00:12:12.229]
of the industry and then off
[00:12:14.269]
to the right, we see uh the
[00:12:16.428]
median yearly income, common
[00:12:18.639]
education level and then for some degrees, you'll
[00:12:20.808]
also see basically the, well,
[00:12:22.979]
here's one projected job, job growth. So this
[00:12:25.058]
is looking about 10 years down the road. So
[00:12:27.190]
cargo and freight agents, this isn't expected
[00:12:29.729]
to grow rapidly. So these
[00:12:31.899]
job, this job will still be around 10 years from
[00:12:33.940]
now. So that's a handy uh
[00:12:36.200]
bit of data to have right
[00:12:38.649]
now. Again, I can filter this. I'm getting a lot
[00:12:40.879]
of results here. If you look over on the left
[00:12:42.969]
again, this is where we can take advantage of all those
[00:12:45.099]
tools. So job and preparation level
[00:12:47.408]
is a popular one.
[00:12:49.340]
So if I am maybe a high school student
[00:12:51.529]
and deciding what I wanna do or maybe
[00:12:53.629]
I'm, you know, trying to think of what a part time job
[00:12:55.808]
might be appealing. You know, I may not have
[00:12:57.918]
a degree yet. I don't have any experience. I could choose something
[00:13:00.219]
like little or no preparation
[00:13:02.250]
and see what's recommended. So barista,
[00:13:04.440]
I could maybe work in a coffee shop, that kind
[00:13:06.570]
of thing. And for each of these, you can click
[00:13:08.609]
in to learn more
[00:13:10.879]
and get a um you know,
[00:13:12.928]
further details around the job.
[00:13:15.029]
So little we of course know it's gonna have little to no preparation
[00:13:17.830]
needed. I can see this is a top career
[00:13:20.058]
match for me. The job opportunities
[00:13:22.168]
are bright in this field and
[00:13:24.190]
you get a little bit about what you would do
[00:13:26.330]
on the job. Again, those details around
[00:13:28.460]
salary uh and the
[00:13:30.469]
like
[00:13:31.609]
and then the skills you'll build
[00:13:33.729]
uh the abilities you'll have
[00:13:35.830]
the tech you may and you know, work with
[00:13:38.519]
and then it always offers explore more
[00:13:40.538]
as well. So something else related that
[00:13:42.570]
might, you know, sound good to us as well
[00:13:44.639]
related topic or related careers.
[00:13:47.279]
Um
[00:13:48.158]
uh and maybe a similar field.
[00:13:51.219]
So and all of this can be printed out. You've
[00:13:53.288]
got that option here. I meant to point it out
[00:13:55.399]
on our matches too. But
[00:13:57.340]
let me go ahead. Oh, that's right. This opens in a separate
[00:13:59.460]
tab. I'm so used to the back button. Let me pop
[00:14:01.570]
back uh to the other tab
[00:14:04.570]
so you can continue to work with those. So this is
[00:14:06.639]
something maybe I could do right now. Again, as a high school
[00:14:08.769]
student, if I am, you
[00:14:10.879]
know, maybe been in my, been in a career
[00:14:12.908]
for a while and looking to change up and maybe
[00:14:15.129]
do something else. I don't like the career I've
[00:14:17.279]
chosen or, or maybe, you know, of course,
[00:14:19.440]
certainly we, we've, you know, heard so many
[00:14:21.590]
companies having layoffs and things like that over
[00:14:23.668]
the last years. So you
[00:14:25.759]
can always kind of jump this up a bit.
[00:14:27.779]
If you've got a degree, you've got experience,
[00:14:30.250]
you can always change that, maybe jump up to medium
[00:14:32.440]
job preparation.
[00:14:34.639]
And again, they're still gonna have the same types of details,
[00:14:37.149]
you know, I'm at the airport a lot, so maybe air
[00:14:39.168]
traffic controller does kind of appeal to me
[00:14:41.820]
uh but not looking good for
[00:14:44.109]
the opportunities in the future. So that's good
[00:14:46.330]
to know
[00:14:47.440]
the median yearly income is good.
[00:14:49.869]
Um But we can kind of get an i an
[00:14:52.109]
idea. I love the graphics here too
[00:14:54.129]
that we uh see
[00:14:56.548]
to come along with each of the jobs that kind of visual,
[00:14:59.139]
you know, right here of the job outlook and so
[00:15:01.219]
on. But again, all
[00:15:03.359]
those details
[00:15:05.298]
to help us decide if that's something we may be interested
[00:15:07.440]
in and
[00:15:10.269]
you can play around with these is a little more as
[00:15:12.288]
well. So again, I'm still, if we let me
[00:15:14.349]
scroll back up to the top, so you can always see
[00:15:16.548]
at the top what you're filtering by. So I'm still looking
[00:15:18.798]
at all my career matches. So it, it's
[00:15:21.239]
not showing me every career out there, just
[00:15:23.460]
the ones that I match strongly with. And again, I've got my
[00:15:25.519]
medium job preparation. You can always just
[00:15:28.308]
x those out and kind of go back
[00:15:30.418]
to default, you can also change
[00:15:32.500]
it up. So if I'm specifically interested
[00:15:35.379]
in, maybe I like the definition of the
[00:15:37.460]
enterprising careers, I,
[00:15:39.678]
I can isolate to one of those
[00:15:41.700]
personality, uh types at a time
[00:15:44.340]
and see the jobs that match up with that.
[00:15:46.779]
I can also though just disable
[00:15:49.009]
that show only matches and
[00:15:51.158]
it will bring me back every job. So maybe
[00:15:53.450]
where I didn't score as well, but I still wanna
[00:15:55.668]
learn about these types of positions.
[00:15:58.109]
I've got the option to explore everything.
[00:16:00.639]
So I like this feature, you know, certainly
[00:16:02.879]
for folks who are looking for a new career scene where they matched
[00:16:05.190]
is important. But again, say you're maybe in
[00:16:07.250]
a high school setting and students need to research
[00:16:09.428]
careers, they can just come here and, and
[00:16:11.460]
browse around and don't have to kind of be tied
[00:16:13.529]
to what came up in their assessment, uh
[00:16:15.960]
and see what their areas of interest are. You know, it's a, it's
[00:16:18.219]
a big world for them, right? They might want to learn about
[00:16:20.250]
other things. So
[00:16:21.700]
those filtering tools are really handy
[00:16:23.719]
in a, in a few different ways.
[00:16:26.668]
OK. So let me just check the chat and the Q and A so
[00:16:28.808]
far
[00:16:31.840]
and put my heart in good shape. So
[00:16:33.950]
hopefully it's pretty straightforward tool
[00:16:36.048]
to use. We are again,
[00:16:38.139]
um really happy to partner with career
[00:16:40.460]
preach, uh career peach. Pardon
[00:16:42.719]
me? The assessments we had before
[00:16:44.979]
there were at least two you had to take and
[00:16:47.149]
folk didn't, folks didn't find that. Um,
[00:16:50.450]
they found a little time consuming. So, and they
[00:16:52.500]
were up to four you could take. So it was
[00:16:54.619]
a bit more complex. Folks were looking for something
[00:16:56.918]
similar. The other feature that we're,
[00:16:59.000]
we're glad to be able to offer that comes with
[00:17:01.009]
career breach. And I'm just gonna use my annotate
[00:17:03.200]
tool here. So you kind of don't
[00:17:05.449]
miss where this is in the upper right
[00:17:07.469]
hand corner.
[00:17:08.799]
You have the option of translating the
[00:17:10.880]
content into uh Spanish.
[00:17:13.920]
Let me go ahead and clear out my drawings
[00:17:16.789]
and tools so I can actually click that
[00:17:20.910]
so you can see it translates
[00:17:23.699]
not just our kind of
[00:17:25.858]
paths and our buttons and things like that,
[00:17:28.078]
it's gonna translate the content of the career
[00:17:30.140]
description. So this was a big
[00:17:32.459]
plus plus for us in um
[00:17:34.739]
in switching to career speech. This wasn't something
[00:17:36.828]
available in the career assessment before.
[00:17:39.229]
Um Spanish has been the most requested
[00:17:41.459]
language, but
[00:17:42.739]
we are always interested in Gale,
[00:17:45.019]
not just for something like Peterson's, but our other resources
[00:17:47.900]
in the languages you need in your community. So
[00:17:49.969]
if you have other suggestions, I'm happy to share
[00:17:52.098]
that back with our product manager. Um
[00:17:54.269]
But by far Spanish was our our most
[00:17:56.410]
requested um language for
[00:17:58.500]
this resource. So um career
[00:18:00.809]
peach is uh uh really
[00:18:03.509]
a great option. Yeah, unfortunately I
[00:18:05.529]
don't speak um any other
[00:18:07.568]
languages. But again, you can see if I kind of pop
[00:18:09.769]
in. It's
[00:18:12.039]
all been translated
[00:18:14.769]
very nicely for me. So
[00:18:19.229]
I am gonna go ahead and switch back to English.
[00:18:22.410]
I can navigate a little easier.
[00:18:25.439]
All right. So,
[00:18:27.279]
uh again, I think we're in good shape on the chat
[00:18:29.549]
and the Q and A
[00:18:30.880]
and you talked about the
[00:18:32.910]
filters. I'm kind of checking everything off my list
[00:18:35.140]
here, but it is a pretty straightforward tool. That's what
[00:18:37.150]
we were looking for. Something that was a little simpler
[00:18:39.309]
to work for. And I like
[00:18:41.328]
the,
[00:18:42.338]
the guided path. It kind of gives folks,
[00:18:44.588]
I, I find, you know, getting a definition for
[00:18:46.739]
the different job levels and the different personality
[00:18:49.289]
types are, are really helpful. So,
[00:18:51.439]
and they, they just,
[00:18:52.779]
you know, le leave it all out there pretty clearly.
[00:18:55.529]
So this is, of course, one way folks
[00:18:57.949]
are maybe gonna find a new career is taking advantage
[00:19:00.269]
of that career assessment as they
[00:19:02.400]
move along in their journey. The rest
[00:19:04.809]
of Peterson's is here for that as well. So if
[00:19:06.900]
there is schooling that needs to be done,
[00:19:09.250]
you've got the option
[00:19:11.259]
to, of course, find a school. We've got the school
[00:19:13.598]
search tool that can help you,
[00:19:16.078]
of course, isolate to a particular area
[00:19:18.250]
of study.
[00:19:19.568]
Uh If you're looking for, you
[00:19:21.640]
know, particular tuition,
[00:19:23.769]
which you know, who isn't,
[00:19:25.348]
but that, um, of course,
[00:19:27.608]
location, you can kind of design
[00:19:29.868]
your perfect school here. And
[00:19:32.539]
if we, I'll go ahead and
[00:19:34.410]
let me do this location first and we'll
[00:19:37.880]
New Jersey. We like that in state tuition.
[00:19:40.549]
Um And of course, can then
[00:19:43.358]
enter in your uh
[00:19:46.390]
area of study.
[00:19:55.549]
Is that not filtering for me?
[00:20:01.098]
Oh, admin, sorry, it was business administration.
[00:20:03.170]
I was looking for. That's right.
[00:20:04.660]
Um, as I select from the left,
[00:20:06.848]
it just filters over on the right to match up with
[00:20:08.890]
the schools that have the degree the, again,
[00:20:11.250]
the location I'm looking for,
[00:20:13.380]
you know, can isolate further
[00:20:15.449]
with other issues and then of course, you can pop
[00:20:17.559]
in and, and learn more about
[00:20:20.160]
the schools
[00:20:22.588]
similar to, of course, what you find in the books,
[00:20:24.789]
right? And get that date.
[00:20:26.229]
You can also though
[00:20:28.479]
take the path if we go back under career
[00:20:30.578]
options here,
[00:20:32.108]
look at that online resume builder to get
[00:20:34.118]
that ready. So again, you know, maybe as a,
[00:20:36.130]
a student who's gonna go apply at a, at
[00:20:38.368]
a coffee shop to be a barista, they've never
[00:20:40.469]
created a resume before.
[00:20:42.868]
You can always pop into this resource.
[00:20:45.189]
And, you know, you've never created one
[00:20:47.219]
before. My favorite feature here under the
[00:20:49.588]
uh resume builder is you can use example
[00:20:52.170]
content.
[00:20:53.539]
So rather than
[00:20:57.608]
kind of working from a blank
[00:20:59.838]
page, I can get an idea. Now, of course,
[00:21:01.969]
I would want to have worked as a group
[00:21:04.118]
first before putting that on my resume. But
[00:21:06.279]
it just kind of gives folks a better idea
[00:21:08.858]
of
[00:21:10.180]
what happens in the job. But also
[00:21:12.539]
I find it hard to write down what
[00:21:14.750]
I do in my job and make it sound good
[00:21:17.239]
in that kind of resume speak. So you
[00:21:19.539]
get this kind of helping hand to help you build
[00:21:21.709]
a resume
[00:21:23.348]
so
[00:21:24.348]
really handy.
[00:21:25.809]
And then as you're moving through again,
[00:21:28.088]
the process
[00:21:29.630]
there is support here from career advice.
[00:21:32.519]
This is going to offer
[00:21:35.098]
help for kind of all steps along
[00:21:37.229]
the Jersey,
[00:21:38.160]
uh uh sorry, New Jersey,
[00:21:40.368]
all the steps along the journey.
[00:21:42.880]
So there's actually some basically
[00:21:45.088]
almost like almost like on demand learning
[00:21:47.449]
is what you're using here. It's a bunch of tutorials
[00:21:50.289]
and um steps you walk through. So kind
[00:21:52.380]
of performing a self assessment along with the
[00:21:54.469]
career assessment, how to search
[00:21:56.729]
for a job, write a cover letter,
[00:21:58.809]
the basics of a resume all
[00:22:01.150]
the way through interviewing salary negotiations.
[00:22:03.828]
If we've got folks who are again
[00:22:06.150]
making a career change, they want to do something
[00:22:08.509]
new tutorials for that, transitioning
[00:22:10.750]
out of the military. And again,
[00:22:12.799]
each of these are just gonna walk you through
[00:22:15.019]
in kind of this on demand learning format.
[00:22:17.920]
You can see over on the left, almost like a table
[00:22:20.029]
of contents. You don't have to go in any particular
[00:22:22.420]
order. Uh But you just
[00:22:24.640]
kind of can follow along here jump to the
[00:22:26.709]
sections that work for you or just keep moving
[00:22:29.039]
through each section consecutively.
[00:22:32.469]
But getting a little additional support at
[00:22:34.630]
your own pace on all of these
[00:22:36.858]
paths is really helpful in that
[00:22:38.900]
career advice section. So
[00:22:41.670]
the career assessment itself
[00:22:43.709]
is of course, the star of our show today, but
[00:22:46.000]
you really have a lot of great support
[00:22:48.259]
under that whole section uh
[00:22:50.920]
or explore career options. But then of
[00:22:53.059]
course, all the others that come with that as well.
[00:22:56.009]
So lots of good stuff there.
[00:22:58.868]
Just gonna check the chat and Q and A because
[00:23:01.068]
I've kind of, I've checked off my list here of everything
[00:23:03.328]
we wanted to show you. So
[00:23:06.180]
I think we're in good shape. I've got a few
[00:23:08.250]
slides, just a couple of things to mention.
[00:23:11.809]
So
[00:23:13.108]
again, we gotta look at what the career assessment
[00:23:15.279]
questions look like. You all have unlimited
[00:23:17.559]
use of this resource. So feel free to create
[00:23:19.618]
that kind of create a dummy account to go in there
[00:23:21.689]
and play around with and, and maybe take the career
[00:23:23.900]
assessment.
[00:23:24.969]
Um You know, love to see how
[00:23:27.189]
the, you know, uh
[00:23:29.390]
uh library uh librarian
[00:23:31.598]
uh path comes up for, for everybody.
[00:23:34.269]
Uh I did also want to share the resource
[00:23:36.479]
is mobile responsive. Um And
[00:23:38.719]
so I wanna show folks what that looks like
[00:23:40.729]
because I think a lot of times
[00:23:42.779]
particularly for myself, I like to do a lot
[00:23:45.049]
of this from my, my laptop.
[00:23:47.259]
I'm a bigger screen. Person.
[00:23:49.380]
Uh, but it really is
[00:23:51.410]
easy to use on your phone
[00:23:53.729]
or in a much smaller screen
[00:23:55.689]
because it is mobile, responsive,
[00:23:58.118]
not just compliant but responsive.
[00:24:00.799]
It knows you're using a smaller screen so you
[00:24:02.818]
can kind of see how things shrink
[00:24:05.219]
in a bit. Maybe you're scrolling up and down a little
[00:24:07.430]
more because we've got a narrower screen rather
[00:24:09.660]
than a wider one, but
[00:24:11.920]
everything fits. So I've got just a, a few different
[00:24:14.160]
screenshots to show you that look. Um
[00:24:16.699]
because there's certainly my nieces and nephews do a
[00:24:18.709]
lot more work from their phones than I
[00:24:20.719]
do. But you're gonna have a, a good experience
[00:24:22.920]
with this resource if you are coming
[00:24:25.118]
to it through your phone.
[00:24:28.009]
Ok. And then lastly, we've
[00:24:30.189]
got some great tools to help you drive users
[00:24:32.309]
to this resource. So we're gonna talk about promotional
[00:24:34.750]
materials in a minute. This is more
[00:24:36.910]
coming from the different tools
[00:24:38.920]
you have maybe off your website. So
[00:24:41.219]
certainly into your catalog. But
[00:24:43.229]
also just if you've got lib guides
[00:24:45.348]
or different sections of your web page
[00:24:47.410]
that speak to these types of tools, you
[00:24:49.479]
know, helping prepare for college and career,
[00:24:51.979]
we have built mark records
[00:24:54.400]
um that hold the
[00:24:57.809]
uh
[00:24:58.759]
856 tag with a URL
[00:25:01.469]
that will drop you directly into
[00:25:04.180]
the ebook content that's available
[00:25:06.189]
in Peterson's, but also what we call the
[00:25:08.209]
subject hubs. So there's pages
[00:25:10.489]
where you kind of get that list. If we,
[00:25:12.640]
if you look at the, actually both of these are examples
[00:25:14.699]
of what hub pages might look like with these screenshots.
[00:25:17.680]
They take you into
[00:25:20.279]
directly into the resource and land
[00:25:22.709]
you on these pages. So you just can pick
[00:25:24.949]
right up with maybe preparing for
[00:25:27.049]
the, for the nclex, right?
[00:25:29.539]
So the markers are really handy if
[00:25:31.750]
you know, certainly you've got, that's probably the,
[00:25:34.130]
you know,
[00:25:35.108]
one of the most popular things on your website,
[00:25:37.118]
right? Folks going into the catalog. So it's a great
[00:25:39.209]
way to help folks discover Peterson's content
[00:25:41.358]
there. We also though have direct
[00:25:43.539]
URL S for this for the subject tab.
[00:25:45.670]
So again, if you're using lib guides or other
[00:25:47.699]
paths on your website and just want
[00:25:49.769]
some links that go directly into the
[00:25:51.930]
particular pieces of the resource like
[00:25:54.049]
the, the career uh support section,
[00:25:57.078]
the subject Tub Direct URL
[00:25:59.098]
S will get them there as well. So
[00:26:01.150]
great ways to help folks discover this
[00:26:03.328]
kind of organically when they're using your
[00:26:05.509]
website.
[00:26:06.900]
But then of course, we've got lots of support to help them
[00:26:09.009]
discover it maybe with a bit more of a push.
[00:26:11.209]
So if you have a social media pa uh pages
[00:26:14.019]
that you use like Instagram or, or
[00:26:16.219]
Facebook or anything like that, we've got
[00:26:18.439]
social media posts ready to go.
[00:26:20.660]
Uh no need to recreate the wheel. We've got them for
[00:26:22.910]
you. We've got digital signage you could
[00:26:25.059]
use in the library and other a bunch of other digital
[00:26:27.390]
assets. But then we've also got things like bookmarks,
[00:26:29.848]
you know, you want to print out some bookmarks and share those
[00:26:32.000]
at a program or maybe you're again
[00:26:35.650]
in a school library and you've got an open house coming
[00:26:37.989]
up, you want, you know, parents to take some, some
[00:26:40.289]
tools home with them. The, the bookmarks
[00:26:42.449]
and things like tip sheets even are really handy.
[00:26:44.689]
We've got lots of great training materials
[00:26:47.068]
too. So if there's staff who couldn't attend
[00:26:49.239]
today, we've got recorded webinars,
[00:26:51.568]
we've got resource guides to walk
[00:26:53.699]
them through the resources. Um There's
[00:26:55.890]
even activities, lesson plans and
[00:26:57.969]
things like that, that incorporate the resources.
[00:27:00.358]
So, you know, you can share with your teachers
[00:27:02.529]
about how
[00:27:04.309]
uh they might put these resources to work in the classroom.
[00:27:07.098]
Um or, and you know, and certainly in this case, you
[00:27:09.180]
wanna let your guidance counselors know and things like
[00:27:11.348]
that. So,
[00:27:12.630]
uh there's also though, though
[00:27:15.160]
I mentioned outreach, certainly the promotional materials,
[00:27:17.479]
but we've also got training decks in the training
[00:27:19.489]
center so that if you again are doing outreach,
[00:27:21.719]
maybe a program
[00:27:23.239]
um in the library, outreach into the classrooms,
[00:27:25.818]
we have slides for you. You don't
[00:27:28.019]
have to, again, create those and everything is customizable,
[00:27:31.250]
but it's nice to have something to start from.
[00:27:33.680]
And then of course, all of our, our tech support is
[00:27:35.709]
available on the support page as well. So
[00:27:37.729]
what's great about the support site is you go to support.gail.com/njsl
[00:27:43.189]
and it will ask you to select your library from
[00:27:45.400]
the dropbox list and then everything
[00:27:47.759]
is customized for your library. So all the links
[00:27:50.189]
we give you all the Mark records. It's all
[00:27:52.539]
built in to tie to your
[00:27:54.618]
library. So really
[00:27:56.789]
beneficial to start out with that um
[00:27:58.969]
specific support page rather
[00:28:01.009]
than our general one.
[00:28:02.848]
Now, I will have a follow up email
[00:28:04.930]
that's gonna come to you around this time tomorrow. It will
[00:28:06.949]
have a link to the recording, but also all
[00:28:09.108]
of these email addresses that are on this
[00:28:11.118]
side, all of the links for the content that's on the
[00:28:13.209]
previous side will be in that
[00:28:15.219]
email.
[00:28:16.838]
So no need to rush to write these down.
[00:28:19.368]
Um But you can of course, always reach
[00:28:21.608]
out to a person. The support site is great for
[00:28:23.630]
on demand support. But when you have
[00:28:25.949]
questions or you know, want
[00:28:28.180]
to provide feedback, you always
[00:28:30.269]
want to reach out to a person.
[00:28:31.910]
So you've got your Gael team
[00:28:34.164]
ready for you here. So again, I'm
[00:28:36.255]
your trainer. If I don't have the answer, I know where
[00:28:38.375]
to go to get it to. So feel free to start with me.
[00:28:41.015]
But we've got two great groups at Gale that
[00:28:43.203]
I think are always a good first touch for library
[00:28:45.515]
staff. And that is
[00:28:47.055]
uh for K 12 public and special library,
[00:28:49.243]
gonna be our customer success team
[00:28:51.723]
and then for academic libraries, our academic
[00:28:54.104]
outreach and engagement services team. So
[00:28:57.108]
they can help you if you're doing any, any promotional
[00:28:59.699]
efforts. If you are looking
[00:29:01.739]
uh again for
[00:29:03.289]
maybe success, success stories or materials
[00:29:05.699]
to use as you are maybe offering
[00:29:08.059]
training and outreach on these resources.
[00:29:10.848]
Of course, if you got feedback for us suggestions,
[00:29:13.779]
these are great groups to work with.
[00:29:16.160]
So tech support of course is always
[00:29:18.420]
available. And actually, you know what, I'm gonna
[00:29:20.519]
edit this slide while I'm
[00:29:22.549]
here just I'll again have this in
[00:29:24.598]
my email. But for technical support,
[00:29:27.118]
I always like to mention the 800 number
[00:29:31.000]
because we are,
[00:29:33.699]
you know, of course, very
[00:29:35.769]
email minded, I think for a lot of things.
[00:29:37.809]
But with tech support, if you're having a problem, I like you to
[00:29:39.949]
get immediate help and that's what that 800 number
[00:29:42.009]
is really good for. So having trouble with
[00:29:44.170]
the links can't get in,
[00:29:46.019]
that's who you want to reach out to.
[00:29:47.910]
And then of course, you can always find uh your gale
[00:29:49.989]
account rep if you're interested in looking at other gale resources.
[00:29:52.818]
And of course, as we mentioned the the support
[00:29:54.939]
site for, for Jersey clicks. So
[00:29:57.299]
lots of ways to connect with your gale team.
[00:29:59.969]
Definitely do reach out. Don't suffer in
[00:30:02.000]
silence. We wanna hear from you.
[00:30:04.598]
So Michael, anything to add before we
[00:30:06.699]
wrap up?
[00:30:09.969]
Um No, nothing to add at this time.
[00:30:12.160]
Um You know, we've uh we've had a few
[00:30:14.598]
um libraries reach out with
[00:30:16.838]
uh interest and you know that weren't originally implemented
[00:30:19.279]
in, in some of our church
[00:30:20.519]
clicks databases. So if you are here from
[00:30:22.549]
a public or school or academic
[00:30:25.009]
library and you're not sure sure if you
[00:30:27.059]
ever set up for, you know, either IP X
[00:30:29.219]
um
[00:30:30.160]
IP authentication um
[00:30:32.348]
or to get your stats, you can always reach out
[00:30:34.420]
and we can always check into that for you. Um
[00:30:36.549]
But in the meantime, I wanted to say thank
[00:30:38.759]
you again to our attendees and thank you to Stacey
[00:30:41.029]
for joining us today.
[00:30:42.459]
Um
[00:30:43.269]
I can see that um Stacey has put that
[00:30:45.578]
uh link into the chat here. I'm just gonna drop
[00:30:47.789]

[00:30:49.949]
who can fill out um if you wouldn't mind filling out an
[00:30:52.029]
evaluation survey at the conclusion of this program.
[00:30:54.739]
