Gale Training

[00:00:01.459]
All right good morning everybody and welcome.

[00:00:03.720]
I'm Stacey Knibloe with gale. Glad to

[00:00:05.769]
be with you here this morning to take

[00:00:07.788]
a look at a newer resource

[00:00:10.000]
you have available to you through. Jersey clicks

[00:00:12.489]
Gale Presents Peterson's Test

[00:00:14.689]
and Career Prep Which is a mouthful

[00:00:17.059]
for a a product name. So you'll

[00:00:19.068]
probably mostly hear me refer to it as Peterson's

[00:00:22.219]
or Test and Career Prep

[00:00:24.440]
with some sort of abbreviation.

[00:00:26.399]
But we want to make sure you know what you can

[00:00:28.429]
expect from this resource and how it can

[00:00:30.579]
work into the workflow at your library

[00:00:33.000]
and just share some best practices

[00:00:35.348]
for using it.

[00:00:37.020]
and of course answer all your questions so we want

[00:00:39.048]
to leave a lot of time for those as well.

[00:00:41.348]
Another thing we're gonna look at is a way

[00:00:43.389]
to make this resource more discoverable

[00:00:45.509]
at your library. We've lot you've got lots

[00:00:47.630]
of great marketing tools out at the

[00:00:49.759]
gill support site that you can certainly make

[00:00:51.880]
use of but there are some other neat

[00:00:53.950]
resources you can take advantage of.

[00:00:56.560]
we're gonna talk about Mark

[00:00:58.668]
Records and subject. Top links, a little

[00:01:01.359]
in a little more detail. because

[00:01:03.399]
we certainly want folks to know that this is available

[00:01:05.750]
through your library and have some neat ideas

[00:01:08.099]
for how you can spread the word. So

[00:01:10.180]
as always though, we'll wrap up with where

[00:01:12.278]
you can go for more help from gale. We want

[00:01:14.400]
you to be able to reach out to us with questions

[00:01:16.418]
and feedback any time.

[00:01:18.010]
and to that end we'll also

[00:01:20.150]
be sending a follow-up email that will come to you tomorrow

[00:01:22.489]
around this time. That has some links

[00:01:24.528]
and lots of the good stuff

[00:01:26.569]
that I mentioned in the session so

[00:01:28.609]
you can of course feel free to reach out

[00:01:31.088]
in response to that email or

[00:01:33.448]
again to anyone on the Gale team

[00:01:35.510]
when you've got questions after today

[00:01:38.198]
but do feel free to keep them coming during the

[00:01:40.250]
session. I have

[00:01:43.058]
Again budget is a good amount of time so we

[00:01:45.150]
can cover lots of questions

[00:01:46.980]
and I'm happy to kind

[00:01:49.219]
of click on what you see in the resource

[00:01:51.760]
and want me to show you what it does just jump

[00:01:54.198]
in any time. So

[00:01:56.088]
let's go ahead and dive in.

[00:01:59.010]
So first we just wanna give

[00:02:01.180]
a quick overview of the resource, you can know

[00:02:03.230]
what to expect from it that it is well named.

[00:02:05.609]
But we want to let you know

[00:02:07.829]
a little more detail about kind of the main areas

[00:02:09.889]
of the resource. So

[00:02:11.399]
Gale Presents Peterson's Test and Career Prep

[00:02:13.490]
is of course a partner product between Gale

[00:02:15.750]
and Peterson. So even before

[00:02:17.788]
I went to work for gale, I knew Peterson's resources.

[00:02:20.528]
We had a hard time keeping their books on the shelf

[00:02:23.000]
in the library. I was a also

[00:02:25.319]
a hard time getting them back and maybe the condition

[00:02:27.610]
that they went out in,

[00:02:28.879]
So very familiar with Peterson's content.

[00:02:31.278]
We're thrilled to partner with them

[00:02:33.219]
and this whole resource is built

[00:02:35.288]
around their test and career prep offerings

[00:02:37.849]
and of course we have a lot of that content in

[00:02:39.939]
the resource. So one of

[00:02:41.979]
the most popular areas of the database

[00:02:44.199]
is the test prep tools.

[00:02:46.219]
So you can prep for different standardized

[00:02:48.278]
testing.

[00:02:49.679]
for them relating to college high

[00:02:51.689]
school and career

[00:02:53.868]
and we're gonna explore those, show you how those

[00:02:55.909]
tests work.

[00:02:57.449]
We also have a lot of great content

[00:02:59.520]
around folks looking for a new

[00:03:01.679]
career or say in a high school

[00:03:03.710]
high schoolers point of view of

[00:03:05.770]
their career. There's lots

[00:03:08.000]
of tools around support

[00:03:10.349]
like figuring that out. But then also

[00:03:13.338]
active tools where you can go in and take a career

[00:03:15.669]
assessment, read up on different jobs.

[00:03:17.868]
Even view open positions

[00:03:20.719]
Ok. And then to that end, when you're ready to start

[00:03:22.849]
applying for jobs, there's a resume builder

[00:03:25.139]
or a co a cover letter builder along

[00:03:27.520]
with some additional pieces we'll talk about.

[00:03:29.699]
And again a lot of support for that as

[00:03:31.740]
well, so how to prepare for an interview, how to negotiate

[00:03:34.308]
salary, what your resume should

[00:03:36.449]
include. There's lots of great support

[00:03:38.778]
within the resource

[00:03:41.028]
And then lastly should the career you're interested

[00:03:43.288]
in require some sort of schooling. We've got

[00:03:45.368]
searches for colleges specific

[00:03:47.770]
programs for safe but there's a nursing

[00:03:50.020]
program. Search there's searches for

[00:03:52.169]
say an M. B. A. Program

[00:03:54.729]
you also have support around a lot of

[00:03:56.770]
the financial issues that come with college.

[00:03:59.000]
So can find scholarships to

[00:04:01.080]
apply for, can read up on you know

[00:04:03.088]
what you have to do with F. F. A. And things like that

[00:04:05.368]
so a lot of support

[00:04:07.379]
is built into this resource. You know the

[00:04:09.558]
the I think the kind of resume tool

[00:04:11.899]
and the test prep get a lot of

[00:04:13.939]
use. But keep in mind that this

[00:04:16.079]
does more than that. There's really a lot more help

[00:04:18.269]
here for for building a career.

[00:04:21.019]
So we are gonna dive right into it and

[00:04:23.088]
spend our time most of our time in

[00:04:25.149]
the database. So again if you see

[00:04:27.230]
something on the screen you'd like to know more about.

[00:04:29.519]
Just let me know I've of course got a list

[00:04:31.730]
of things I want to cover with you. But

[00:04:34.220]
I'm happy you know to take a left turn.

[00:04:36.399]
This is really your session. So let's get your

[00:04:38.519]
your questions answered.

[00:04:40.548]
So the home page of Peterson’s

[00:04:42.959]
Test and Career prep is gonna basically

[00:04:45.569]
give you a sense of what you can do here

[00:04:47.809]
but you'll notice in the upper right hand corner,

[00:04:51.829]
there's a login option and it will also

[00:04:53.869]
prompt. You kind of should you go down one of these paths

[00:04:56.048]
and select something to log in.

[00:04:58.399]
So

[00:04:59.730]
the resource is something

[00:05:01.988]
that people come back to right they come back and they

[00:05:04.048]
keep working on a resume. They take another

[00:05:06.528]
practice test, that type of thing. So we need

[00:05:08.619]
to be able to keep track of who's using the database.

[00:05:11.338]
So it does require what we would call

[00:05:13.519]
a named user login.

[00:05:16.040]
so let's look at

[00:05:18.278]
that first and then we'll explore the resource.

[00:05:20.689]
So

[00:05:21.488]
the login button of course if you've been here before and

[00:05:23.500]
log into your account or we're gonna use the new user sign

[00:05:25.670]
up so you can see what's involved.

[00:05:27.798]
It is very simple. Your name,

[00:05:30.588]
user name, password and a secret word are

[00:05:32.619]
the only things that are required, email address

[00:05:34.988]
is optional.

[00:05:36.509]
Folks don't have to submit that if they

[00:05:38.588]
don't want to. It is the best way to reset

[00:05:40.629]
your password. Should you forget it. But if

[00:05:42.838]
you don't.

[00:05:44.100]
there's other ways to reset your password.

[00:05:46.519]
We are not doing anything with this data

[00:05:48.879]
nor is Peterson's you're not gonna start

[00:05:50.899]
all of a sudden getting promotional emails from

[00:05:53.000]
Peterson's or gale. If you do turn over your email

[00:05:55.350]
address it is strictly there so you can

[00:05:57.959]
reset your password.

[00:05:59.559]
You also fill this in

[00:06:01.759]
and your account is immediately created. You don't

[00:06:03.879]
have to again because your email address isn't required,

[00:06:06.139]
you don't have to go and verify your email address.

[00:06:08.238]
You're just in immediately

[00:06:10.439]
Again we don't truly know

[00:06:12.970]
who you are at the other end of this.

[00:06:15.389]


[00:06:16.730]
No user information is being tracked aside

[00:06:18.970]
from this account that lets you get back to your

[00:06:21.028]
practice desk your resume.

[00:06:23.040]
So privacy is important.

[00:06:25.189]
It always is important particularly

[00:06:27.250]
if you're gonna be working with people who are under 18.

[00:06:29.309]
So Yale has very strict rules around

[00:06:31.649]
privacy. You can actually if you scroll to the bottom of

[00:06:33.709]
the page you can get out to our privacy policy

[00:06:36.009]
and

[00:06:37.209]
learn more about it.

[00:06:39.040]
Now I am gonna go ahead and log into a demo

[00:06:41.069]
account just because I want to show you what some things look like

[00:06:43.119]
when they're completed. So rather than sign

[00:06:45.290]
up here, I'm gonna use that log in button.

[00:06:48.619]
And just use my demo account here.

[00:06:52.238]
and there's unlimited users. So feel

[00:06:54.470]
free to create your own accounts to get

[00:06:56.488]
to know the database and then of course,

[00:06:58.699]
you know, your patron and your students cannot

[00:07:00.778]
create their own as well. So no,

[00:07:02.949]
no limits there.

[00:07:04.720]
All right, so now we're back to the home page

[00:07:06.778]
before I kind of dive into each area. I

[00:07:08.798]
want to point out at the top of the screen

[00:07:12.329]
Oh my I wanna use my little

[00:07:14.389]
anti tool. It's blocking the thing. I wanna circle.

[00:07:16.709]
There we go.

[00:07:18.100]
there is a title list available

[00:07:20.399]
that breaks down all

[00:07:22.459]
of the content that's in the database and

[00:07:24.548]
this gets updated as we up are actually

[00:07:26.879]
I think it's around four times a year because

[00:07:29.119]
different parts of the database, different

[00:07:31.199]
tests are updated at different times.

[00:07:33.600]
The title list is really the best place

[00:07:35.619]
to see what's in the database and

[00:07:37.738]
when it's from. So you can see

[00:07:41.178]
even more detail, how many practice

[00:07:43.230]
tests do we have for that exam, that type of thing.

[00:07:45.600]
And the last official

[00:07:47.629]
testing because some of these standardized tests, you

[00:07:49.678]
know every three years they maybe change up the

[00:07:51.778]
format or you know something like that.

[00:07:54.369]
You get those dates as well. And

[00:07:56.470]
then the last time the content was updated.

[00:07:59.540]
So this might make a nice printout to keep at the reference

[00:08:01.980]
desk a quick check of what's in

[00:08:04.040]
the resource. You kind of though. Of course

[00:08:06.259]
though explore and just test and see if

[00:08:08.379]
we have what you're looking for. But this gives you those

[00:08:10.399]
additional dates. So I would like to point those

[00:08:12.660]
out, But the resource

[00:08:15.009]
itself really tells you what's in it. So

[00:08:17.048]
that's what we're gonna explore here. There is a search

[00:08:19.149]
so if you want it you know you're looking for the S. A. T. You

[00:08:21.250]
can just kind of

[00:08:22.600]
search and land right there

[00:08:24.738]
or what we're gonna do. What I tend to

[00:08:27.100]
always start with. I like a brows tool

[00:08:29.278]
because then you can see what's around

[00:08:31.540]
in the resource and you know discover new

[00:08:33.649]
things. We are always

[00:08:35.729]
our databases are never finished so we're always adding

[00:08:37.969]
new content. I think there have been a few new things

[00:08:40.099]
added even since this was added

[00:08:42.399]
to the Jersey clicks program. So

[00:08:45.070]
you know, always good to I think be in the live

[00:08:47.090]
resource and see what's here.

[00:08:49.129]
So there are four areas where you'll kind

[00:08:51.308]
of go down paths within the resource,

[00:08:53.369]
improve your score is

[00:08:55.889]
mostly gonna be test prep for

[00:08:58.168]
standardized tests. But then some additional tools

[00:09:00.308]
we're gonna take a look at,

[00:09:01.830]
find a school is exactly that. It's

[00:09:03.859]
all the collar, scholarships or sorry the college

[00:09:06.210]
searches plus scholarship searches, you

[00:09:08.330]
know, advice around financial aid and things

[00:09:10.428]
like that.

[00:09:11.849]
explore. Careers is gonna lead you to the

[00:09:13.940]
resume builder. The career

[00:09:16.349]
assessments. And again help

[00:09:18.639]
for doing all of that job search.

[00:09:21.820]
and then vocational test prep. So again more

[00:09:23.908]
standardized tests which is relating to particular

[00:09:26.219]
careers

[00:09:27.889]
and we're going to go down each of these paths. So

[00:09:29.918]
let me know if there's anything particular you want to look for.

[00:09:32.158]
Actually let me check the chat and Q. And A.

[00:09:34.469]
Nothing yet. But let me go ahead and

[00:09:36.538]
get started with improve your score.

[00:09:40.239]
so we're gonna get into you

[00:09:42.288]
know probably the most popular test in the resource is

[00:09:44.418]
the S. A. T. But before we get

[00:09:46.599]
to that I want to point out some of the other

[00:09:48.658]
tools that are here, we have

[00:09:50.729]
this foundational skills section

[00:09:52.940]
which is

[00:09:54.590]
really handy because what it does is

[00:09:56.759]
let you go through some

[00:09:58.879]
tutorials and question banks

[00:10:01.908]
around English reading math.

[00:10:04.330]
It can be just a good brush up. Say we've got

[00:10:06.469]
someone who's on the job market again after say

[00:10:08.609]
20 years and they're looking for something

[00:10:10.928]
new. Maybe there's some you know they're

[00:10:13.070]
gonna prep for the postal exam. Firefight

[00:10:15.119]
exam, something like that.

[00:10:16.840]
And they just want to brush up on some

[00:10:19.019]
of these skills That's gonna be a great use here.

[00:10:21.053]
These can also be great supplemental support

[00:10:23.715]
for students for

[00:10:25.894]
folks who are maybe learning English

[00:10:28.274]
you'll also find here though office Microsoft

[00:10:30.835]
office tutorials. So

[00:10:32.965]
something folks can do at home.

[00:10:35.014]
We've got a Windows 11 tutorial down here

[00:10:38.479]
So there are these kind of additional

[00:10:41.200]
not quite for specific tests but

[00:10:43.219]
just additional kind of skills building

[00:10:45.479]
here under foundational skills.

[00:10:48.408]
now. The four paths follow me

[00:10:50.658]
through my time in the resource. So if I open

[00:10:52.719]
up that little arrow next to improve your school,

[00:10:54.798]
I can get to all the other areas. So if you

[00:10:56.879]
take a look at high school we've got things like preparing

[00:10:59.229]
for a P. Exams and just a quick

[00:11:01.519]
click into them, you can see which exams

[00:11:03.580]
are here. This is a list that's really grown

[00:11:05.779]
over time. We love to hear feedback

[00:11:08.428]
about what folks need

[00:11:10.950]
in their schools and their libraries. So

[00:11:13.058]
you know you see the results in this resource.

[00:11:15.469]
When that happens

[00:11:17.450]
So college prep is where we'll find

[00:11:19.469]
the S. A. T. The A. C. T. The

[00:11:21.519]
clap exam, P. S. A. T. All

[00:11:23.989]
of these that you might take while you're

[00:11:26.048]
in high school

[00:11:27.609]
and what you'll find is as you select

[00:11:29.690]
each test

[00:11:32.178]
You'll see whatever support we have for

[00:11:34.479]
it. So in some cases you'll see

[00:11:36.840]
three items. Three cards here like I have.

[00:11:39.340]
In some cases you'll see one card, it's just gonna

[00:11:41.509]
vary about the content that's here.

[00:11:44.080]
But what we're of course always looking for

[00:11:46.279]
are those practice tests. So that's the most common

[00:11:48.570]
card you'll find.

[00:11:49.908]
We also though carry the eBook content

[00:11:52.340]
from Peterson so

[00:11:54.379]
we've got the master of the S. A. T. 2020

[00:11:56.759]
eBook here that we can go through. It just gonna

[00:11:58.769]
be a P. D. F. I can work with

[00:12:00.639]
and then a few tests a handful of tests

[00:12:02.690]
will actually have online courses to go

[00:12:04.849]
along with them. Which I always like to

[00:12:06.859]
point this out for the S. A. T. Because

[00:12:09.700]
this is something someone can do for free

[00:12:11.879]
through your library

[00:12:13.729]
at their own pace. You know this is it. They don't have

[00:12:15.739]
to make time you know to co go

[00:12:18.149]
to an S. A. T. Prep course again

[00:12:20.590]
don't have to pay for it. So you know

[00:12:22.609]
really equitable here, anybody can get to

[00:12:24.658]
this.

[00:12:25.649]
and it basically like it implies

[00:12:27.788]
preps you for the S. A. T. There are some pre

[00:12:29.940]
assessments as you go through

[00:12:32.570]
you work on the different sections of the test,

[00:12:36.168]
and this is along with

[00:12:38.739]
the master of the S. A. T. E. Book so you can use

[00:12:40.908]
that as a companion or

[00:12:43.250]
another tool to help study for the exam.

[00:12:46.808]
So really valuable to have those two kind of

[00:12:48.908]
powerful tools with you. But

[00:12:51.090]
I will say the practice tests are probably the most popular

[00:12:53.450]
because that's of course gonna put you right in

[00:12:56.649]
that kind of test. Taking mindset and

[00:12:59.070]
testing how you're doing

[00:13:01.379]
So you can, as you're going through

[00:13:03.779]
the practice test you'll see they almost

[00:13:05.798]
act like courses. I should say almost

[00:13:08.038]
they kind of do, we can see course contents here.

[00:13:10.250]
I'm 24% of the way through the practice

[00:13:12.479]
tests available.

[00:13:14.989]
And for the S. A. T. We

[00:13:17.119]
actually have a lot of

[00:13:19.200]
versions of a practice exam. I think we're up to nine.

[00:13:22.399]
Yes so nine practice

[00:13:24.719]
tests for the S. A. T. That will

[00:13:26.750]
vary too. We're gonna look at other tests where maybe

[00:13:28.899]
we've got three different versions.

[00:13:30.869]
We want to add as many as we

[00:13:32.908]
can because it's not good to

[00:13:34.928]
just take, keep taking the same one over

[00:13:37.168]
and over and start memorizing answers. Right

[00:13:39.729]
so having multiples is

[00:13:41.750]
really valuable.

[00:13:43.590]
and you can see here over on the left the ones I've taken.

[00:13:45.649]
I've got a check mark four

[00:13:47.320]
and if we go ahead and wanna take another,

[00:13:49.849]
I'm just gonna jump into one here.

[00:13:52.940]
you get a little info about the quiz

[00:13:55.000]
first you have you

[00:13:57.119]
know instructions for how it's gonna work. You might

[00:13:59.190]
also have

[00:14:00.729]
let's see it looks like the S. A. T. Doesn't have

[00:14:02.859]
one. But some of the tests will have like their own

[00:14:05.168]
introduction over here on the table of contents

[00:14:07.450]
at Sandy.

[00:14:08.519]
But if we go ahead and

[00:14:10.580]
start the quiz

[00:14:15.080]
This is formatted like it's pieces

[00:14:17.250]
of paper. So the way you might move through the test

[00:14:19.820]
Some are of course electronic themselves but

[00:14:22.168]


[00:14:23.538]
it's kind of mimic that real world experience

[00:14:25.619]
here, we've got a passage we need to read.

[00:14:28.129]
And as I scroll down I'll then

[00:14:30.359]
see the questions for this passage.

[00:14:33.200]
And if you go through

[00:14:36.320]
it really is like taking the test, you're

[00:14:38.369]
just marking your answers, you can go

[00:14:40.418]
back and change them at any point. I can

[00:14:42.750]
adjust as I'm marking

[00:14:44.840]
them off. You'll see the pages over

[00:14:47.658]
on the left or marking each question with a check

[00:14:49.779]
mark as I answer it. So I can kind of

[00:14:51.928]
visually get a cue as to where I am

[00:14:54.849]
this of course not the way you probably want to take

[00:14:56.908]
the S. A. T. But you can move

[00:14:59.070]
through

[00:15:00.859]
and mark your answers.

[00:15:02.879]
And then at the bottom here you have the option

[00:15:05.239]
to move to the next page. You can always submit the

[00:15:07.250]
quiz which we will submit this early

[00:15:09.538]
but just keep moving through.

[00:15:11.558]
But with that navigation over on the left

[00:15:13.668]
and then at the bottom of the questions you can always

[00:15:15.820]
get back and forth. So if I want to go back and

[00:15:17.889]
review my answers, make some changes

[00:15:20.019]
or even leave one undone, I can

[00:15:22.178]
skip a. Question and come back to it

[00:15:24.259]
later and again I'm gonna have that visual cue over

[00:15:26.298]
on the left. as well as

[00:15:28.918]
and once I submit the quiz

[00:15:32.038]
or click the submit quiz

[00:15:34.048]
button, it will let me know if I've forgotten

[00:15:36.428]
any questions if I haven't answered something.

[00:15:39.500]
So let me get a few more of these answered

[00:15:41.940]
and I'll go ahead and submit now

[00:15:43.940]
it's even warning me down below here, 20

[00:15:45.979]
of 52 questions save. Again I've got

[00:15:48.058]
the visual queue over on the lap that I haven't

[00:15:50.298]
answered some but when I submit to

[00:15:53.250]
it's gonna warn me I've got 32 unanswered

[00:15:55.450]
questions which I'm just gonna go with.

[00:15:59.259]
and it takes a minute but it grades

[00:16:01.330]
the exam and then puts you right back in it

[00:16:03.340]
to review it so you can go through and see how

[00:16:05.479]
you did.

[00:16:06.668]
And randomly selecting answers is

[00:16:08.989]
not pro oh it looks like I got lucky

[00:16:11.019]
on the first one. So

[00:16:13.229]
you can open up and see I've got the correct

[00:16:15.529]
answer here and even the second one, wow

[00:16:17.889]
I did ok on these first three. Here

[00:16:20.178]
we go. But this is what it looks like when you've got something wrong.

[00:16:22.450]
So it lets you know with a little red X. Your answer

[00:16:24.548]
was wrong and then the blue arrow pointing

[00:16:26.729]
you to the right one and I can open up and view

[00:16:28.820]
the feedback so you can see kind of where you went

[00:16:31.000]
wrong. So

[00:16:33.129]
very handy to have this feedback

[00:16:35.450]
immediately. You can always go back and get it through

[00:16:37.750]
the kind of course view too if you want

[00:16:39.820]
to go back and review another test,

[00:16:42.700]
It's keeping track of all of these for you.

[00:16:45.609]
And the resource is

[00:16:47.639]
of course always gonna grade the multiple choice

[00:16:49.739]
sections. But if you've got a section

[00:16:51.940]
say like you do on the S. A. T. That's an essay

[00:16:54.460]
or a short answer.

[00:16:56.460]
It's really more for you to kind of have

[00:16:58.570]
the practice of writing that essay.

[00:17:01.250]
And then you can often use the eBook

[00:17:03.298]
to get an idea of maybe you know

[00:17:05.318]
what you should have done. There's some advice for

[00:17:07.358]
the short answers and essays and things like

[00:17:09.469]
that. So

[00:17:10.837]
It doesn't technically get graded here

[00:17:12.938]
but it does give you the, you know

[00:17:15.307]
a practice of doing it

[00:17:19.198]
So the other tests are gonna be formatted

[00:17:21.208]
like this. Let's go ahead and take a look at a few more.

[00:17:23.259]
I'm just gonna exit out of this tab here.

[00:17:26.549]
So again improve your score is gonna be

[00:17:28.910]
the test typically that have to do with

[00:17:31.098]
some sort of schooling. So again

[00:17:33.118]
whether it's a P. Exams or a P. S.

[00:17:35.279]
A. T. Or something like that grad school.

[00:17:37.529]
You've got those. This is also although

[00:17:39.789]
I think we have an inter vocational test prep to the international

[00:17:42.309]
sections. You can prepare for say the U. S. Citizenship

[00:17:44.809]
exam or the

[00:17:46.509]
to

[00:17:48.239]
met those here as well

[00:17:50.680]
but let's go ahead and take a look at vocational task

[00:17:52.799]
prep while we're on the subject. So I'm just gonna skip those

[00:17:54.959]
two tabs in the middle.

[00:17:57.019]
And the browse here

[00:17:59.318]
gives you an idea some of these are kind of broken down

[00:18:01.459]
by industry almost so

[00:18:03.779]
something like medical and nursing. This has

[00:18:05.900]
been a popular section of the resource. And we've

[00:18:07.979]
added a lot of new exams here.

[00:18:10.059]
E. M. T. I know we I think we've added

[00:18:12.078]
within the last, well no E. M. T. Has actually

[00:18:14.170]
been around longer than that dental admission test.

[00:18:16.469]
If you've got something we added this year we got some feedback.

[00:18:19.670]
you've got of course all your nursing practice

[00:18:21.920]
tests as well as the T. S. To kind of get into

[00:18:24.039]
nursing school. You have

[00:18:26.328]
C. N. A. Dental hygienist

[00:18:28.410]
massage therapy.

[00:18:30.299]
And again just click in and you'll see kind

[00:18:32.318]
of what's available for each

[00:18:34.559]
to go through. It looks like this is

[00:18:36.709]
can be just some test prep.

[00:18:38.989]
Oh no it looks like they've got some studying tools here

[00:18:41.199]
too. So clicking in will just

[00:18:43.449]
again gonna show you what's available

[00:18:45.930]
Some of the newer tests are here at the bottom

[00:18:47.989]
of this alphabetical list. So aviation and

[00:18:50.098]
transportation, this was one that kind of jumped

[00:18:52.108]
out at me for a New Jersey. You're

[00:18:54.140]
close to some airports there

[00:18:56.309]
or have some airports. So I was being close

[00:18:58.588]
to a few. The T. S. A. Exam is

[00:19:00.709]
is a newer one that we've added,

[00:19:03.670]
we've also added journeyman plumber

[00:19:05.689]
and electrician exams.

[00:19:07.769]
The HESI you've got

[00:19:10.029]
you know some great stuff here and the

[00:19:12.108]
p. A. Exam is is

[00:19:14.430]
a recent addition as well.

[00:19:16.949]
So these are,

[00:19:19.309]
all available

[00:19:20.979]
to any user again to take as many as

[00:19:23.039]
they like and if they're gonna keep coming back to something,

[00:19:25.930]
you'll see as I click around

[00:19:28.049]
and I'm looking at different cards, there's this

[00:19:30.118]
little star next to each of them.

[00:19:32.670]
If I click that star,

[00:19:34.989]
sorry, let me get rid of my drawing there so I can

[00:19:37.039]
click it, it adds it to my

[00:19:39.279]
favorites, it turns it purple, and then you'll

[00:19:41.348]
notice when you come into the database and log

[00:19:43.598]
in Your home page

[00:19:45.630]
lists all of your favorites. So

[00:19:48.039]
you can see I've got a lot here. I probably should clean this up.

[00:19:50.239]
I add a new one every time I do a training. So

[00:19:53.098]
you can easily get back and pick up where you

[00:19:55.118]
left off under create a resume or

[00:19:57.189]
math videos or whatever it may be and

[00:19:59.479]
just jump

[00:20:00.650]
you know right there from your login into

[00:20:03.348]
where you want to pick back up.

[00:20:07.059]
So let me just check the chat and Q. And A. Let me

[00:20:09.078]
know if there are any tests in particular. I'd like to see if we

[00:20:11.209]
have,

[00:20:12.400]
I'm happy to to navigate

[00:20:14.838]
to those

[00:20:16.828]
Alright so let's I'm gonna leave find

[00:20:19.229]
a school for our last

[00:20:21.559]
card we'll go into. I'm gonna open up

[00:20:23.598]
explore careers because I want to show you again some of

[00:20:25.670]
the more popular content so things

[00:20:28.118]
you might be working with folks a little more often on

[00:20:30.848]
the career tool section is

[00:20:32.969]
where we'll find career assessments,

[00:20:34.989]
the builder resume

[00:20:37.358]
Career advice we even include

[00:20:39.779]
the sometimes you'll see things in multiple places.

[00:20:42.098]
So career colleges searches here, it's

[00:20:44.219]
also gonna be under find a school, so kind of wherever

[00:20:46.420]
it's appropriate. You might find these cards.

[00:20:48.979]
and if they jump to create a resume, this

[00:20:51.338]
might be a familiar tool. This is We've

[00:20:53.799]
Peterson's partnered with Visual C. V.

[00:20:56.358]
Which is a resume builder out there on

[00:20:58.449]
the internet. They have a kind of

[00:21:00.509]
fee based service that folks can take advantage

[00:21:02.519]
of our subscription service. I think

[00:21:04.519]
here though there's no cost

[00:21:06.529]
of course to your end user and we get to take advantage

[00:21:09.000]
of some really cool tools

[00:21:11.479]
here with visual C. V. So

[00:21:13.630]
the

[00:21:14.630]
resume and cover builder are both

[00:21:16.719]
here and we're gonna look at those.

[00:21:18.920]
But I just want to mention these two other features

[00:21:21.059]
that are available.

[00:21:22.500]
Create a website. Actually let

[00:21:24.539]
you create a website about yourself

[00:21:26.799]
that you can send people to maybe put

[00:21:28.838]
in a cover letter. Oh,

[00:21:30.838]
when you visit the Visual C. V. It

[00:21:32.939]
will pop up and offer a tutorial

[00:21:35.219]
when you get here. So I'm here for that

[00:21:37.309]
today. So maybe I can close that out, but very handy.

[00:21:39.858]
but create a resume, lets you build

[00:21:42.539]
a website around yourself and they make it look

[00:21:44.880]
good, they build it around one of your resumes

[00:21:47.019]
or you can upload a new one and and

[00:21:49.108]
get started.

[00:21:50.750]
But we're gonna skip that for now but it is

[00:21:52.809]
a very handy piece created.

[00:21:55.269]
Journal entry is a really interesting

[00:21:57.930]
tool. I think that I want to start

[00:21:59.949]
taking advantage of what it does is

[00:22:02.039]
let you track your career highlight,

[00:22:04.449]
you create this career journal

[00:22:06.568]
so that

[00:22:08.209]
when you're applying for a job, when you're updating

[00:22:10.390]
your resume you go like oh yeah I did

[00:22:12.549]
do that big project that went really well. Or

[00:22:14.670]
even often in a resume they'll ask

[00:22:16.848]
you, you know, where's something

[00:22:19.039]
you had a challenge and how did you handle it. But those

[00:22:21.380]
are the kinds of things you can put here this little

[00:22:23.430]
you know journal entry to keep track

[00:22:25.449]
of all of that, refresh your memory, which

[00:22:27.489]
I often need help to do.

[00:22:29.680]
But you can also publish this. So if you did

[00:22:31.729]
want to keep track of that info and make it available.

[00:22:34.358]
You can send books to

[00:22:36.469]
the career journal as well.

[00:22:38.479]
so some neat features. But I do want to dig

[00:22:40.578]
in more to the resume so let me jump back to that

[00:22:42.739]
section

[00:22:43.828]
so you can create and keep track of

[00:22:45.858]
multiple resumes. You can see here. I've got quite

[00:22:48.108]
a few going here.

[00:22:50.150]
and

[00:22:51.368]
you often are creating

[00:22:53.430]
a resume

[00:22:54.660]
every time you apply for a job you'd be adjusting

[00:22:57.118]
a little bit depending on what the position is. So

[00:22:59.150]
it's a great way to, you know, keep all of that here

[00:23:01.549]
and also have a great looking

[00:23:03.588]
resume. There are tons of templates. I am not

[00:23:05.848]
this creatively inclined. I'm letting

[00:23:07.868]
the database kind of do the work to make it look

[00:23:09.890]
good for me. So let's

[00:23:11.930]
go ahead and take a look. So

[00:23:14.289]
creating a new one

[00:23:16.250]
is actually gonna ask you those same questions.

[00:23:18.309]
So do we want to upload an existing resume?

[00:23:20.750]
So if I've got one in word I want to work

[00:23:22.828]
from, I can upload that.

[00:23:24.568]
I can just completely start from scratch and

[00:23:26.670]
start filling in the fields here myself

[00:23:29.078]
or what I love is the use

[00:23:31.368]
sample content option.

[00:23:33.630]
This is gonna let me steal

[00:23:36.318]
my watch and put it that way. Let me borrow

[00:23:38.880]
text from prewritten resumes.

[00:23:41.108]
So if you use sample content

[00:23:44.949]
It's gonna open up and show you some of their popular

[00:23:47.449]
samples which you can take a look at and review.

[00:23:49.809]
You can also search those. So if I've held a job

[00:23:52.209]
as a bank teller

[00:23:54.309]
I can search on that and see if they've

[00:23:56.368]
got an example resume and they've got three.

[00:23:59.500]
and you can give it a little preview or

[00:24:01.660]
I'm just gonna go ahead and use this sample.

[00:24:06.250]
and it knows my name right? Because I have a user

[00:24:08.400]
account and pulled it from that. But here

[00:24:10.750]
it pulled in all that data

[00:24:13.049]
and where I know I struggle but I know

[00:24:15.108]
a lot of other people do too

[00:24:17.199]
Is this section here under work experience.

[00:24:19.559]
How do I describe my job

[00:24:21.890]
and if we've got a resume that's similar to

[00:24:23.979]
a position you've held, it's done a lot of that

[00:24:26.059]
work for you, you can of course edit all

[00:24:28.078]
of this. So if I needed

[00:24:30.400]
to add something else to this

[00:24:32.890]
and I'm just gonna say

[00:24:34.769]
E. T. M. Maintenance

[00:24:36.920]
no idea. but let's say

[00:24:39.160]
I can include that. Oh it looks like maybe you would borrow

[00:24:41.439]
this resume from someone who is maybe and

[00:24:43.509]
they spell check a little different. So the spell

[00:24:45.640]
check has popped up for me

[00:24:47.759]
and adjust that.

[00:24:49.568]
But you have this starting point

[00:24:51.640]
and I think starting from scratch. Maybe some

[00:24:53.838]
folks really you know would

[00:24:56.199]
rather do that and kind of get a maybe

[00:24:58.410]
a resume going that way but I really

[00:25:00.539]
appreciate having this data to work

[00:25:02.689]
from and adjust as needed.

[00:25:05.189]
and again it already makes it look

[00:25:07.229]
good. It puts it into a really nice

[00:25:09.469]
looking format but you'll see over on

[00:25:11.578]
the left, you have all these menu

[00:25:13.709]
options for things you can change.

[00:25:15.848]
And

[00:25:17.420]
If I go in to change template, this

[00:25:19.608]
is where I can find all those nice kind of really colorful.

[00:25:23.500]
resumes and a lot of them include

[00:25:25.818]
photos which I think is something

[00:25:28.199]
it is kind of, I feel like this goes back and forth

[00:25:30.608]
including a photo isn't always preferred,

[00:25:32.799]
so you don't have to, that

[00:25:34.828]
space just goes blank if you don't upload

[00:25:36.949]
an image. But I'll go with

[00:25:39.049]
one here like the look

[00:25:41.269]
at this one,

[00:25:43.509]
grab that and it just reformats it

[00:25:45.568]
for me

[00:25:46.598]
and I can change things too if I don't love

[00:25:48.739]
the green color here up in the top.

[00:25:50.868]
I have all the options for kind of editing

[00:25:53.049]
so I can switch that. Maybe I'll go with

[00:25:55.160]
a this

[00:25:59.209]
pink color there.

[00:26:01.430]
Really simple. I don't have to worry about

[00:26:03.930]
the formatting. I get all these options

[00:26:06.088]
for how I how I want to adjust. It

[00:26:08.130]
can change the fonts, can change

[00:26:10.368]
the

[00:26:12.108]


[00:26:13.719]
margins and things like that as needed.

[00:26:16.219]
Again can always edit the text

[00:26:18.799]
and get rid of content entirely. So

[00:26:20.900]
if I don't want the

[00:26:23.489]
oh what was it? There was a little trash can here. I can

[00:26:25.769]
I can delete content.

[00:26:28.309]
and when you've got it the way you want it you

[00:26:30.549]
have the option to download it and

[00:26:32.729]
share it outside of the resource. So

[00:26:34.939]
we can download a P. D. F. Version, we can

[00:26:37.009]
download a word and that is still

[00:26:39.189]
in beta but it does a pretty nice job.

[00:26:41.348]
You do want to just kind of double check everything

[00:26:43.680]
looks good but the word

[00:26:45.818]
version looks pretty good.

[00:26:48.130]
You can also go choose to share it

[00:26:50.469]
and get a link for it. under

[00:26:52.789]
publish this will also appear

[00:26:55.189]
over. Let me go ahead and circle it on the screen

[00:26:57.529]
here under settings, you can do this in either

[00:26:59.779]
place under settings or share.

[00:27:02.098]
You're choosing kind of the privacy

[00:27:04.309]
level of this resume you've created

[00:27:06.608]
by default. The

[00:27:08.650]
resume is always

[00:27:11.729]
unlisted,

[00:27:13.019]
that is the most private

[00:27:16.309]
kind of level you can have

[00:27:18.568]
Oh no I'm sorry, you know what I apologize

[00:27:21.078]
folks, I'm forgetting when you choose to share,

[00:27:23.509]
You pick one of the sharing options. There are

[00:27:25.549]
two of them. Let me actually show you what I'm talking about under

[00:27:27.769]
settings.

[00:27:29.039]
When you go to settings you'll see where

[00:27:31.309]
your privacy is at currently. So

[00:27:33.880]
share you're preparing to share. So

[00:27:35.920]
it's giving you the sharing options under settings,

[00:27:37.989]
you can see where your privacy is at.

[00:27:40.029]
but also change it if you want it. So

[00:27:42.549]
sorry about that. So under privacy

[00:27:44.689]
export only is our

[00:27:47.000]
highest level of privacy meaning

[00:27:49.338]
I only have access to this. No one

[00:27:51.469]
else can find this resume. It lives

[00:27:53.799]
inside my account. I use download

[00:27:56.660]
to get it out as a P. D. F.

[00:27:58.930]
Or a word document but

[00:28:00.759]
it lives inside the resource and nobody

[00:28:03.019]
can get to it but me

[00:28:04.910]
that is by default,

[00:28:07.078]
if I switch though to unlisted or

[00:28:09.118]
public. Those are the two sharing options.

[00:28:11.279]
If I switch to unlisted.

[00:28:13.279]
What this does then is create

[00:28:15.598]
a link for the resume.

[00:28:17.719]
So this U. R. L. Here I'd be

[00:28:19.818]
able to include in a cover letter or

[00:28:22.000]
hand it wherever I need it to go. If I'm you

[00:28:24.118]
know filling out a form online or something

[00:28:26.348]
like that. I can I can put it there.

[00:28:28.489]
It's unlisted though meaning that

[00:28:30.779]
it's a shareable link but it's not out

[00:28:32.868]
on the web and searchable

[00:28:35.299]
right? If I switch though to

[00:28:37.328]
public this will publish

[00:28:39.420]
on the internet and folks searching on

[00:28:41.539]
search engines by my name would be able to

[00:28:43.559]
find this resume.

[00:28:44.930]
So it is a great way to kind of get your

[00:28:47.170]
name out there and make yourself discoverable.

[00:28:49.910]
Not everybody wants to do that

[00:28:52.059]
though. So that's why we've got the other options. So

[00:28:54.140]
public is kind of the most

[00:28:56.529]
public export only

[00:28:58.759]
is gonna be the most private only. You have access

[00:29:01.000]
to it and you have to choose to download it and

[00:29:03.078]
share it that way

[00:29:04.618]
and then unlisted is kind of that happy medium.

[00:29:06.680]
You can have an online version of the resume but

[00:29:08.828]
it's not searchable by search

[00:29:11.039]
engines. So

[00:29:13.160]
I since this is not true, I was never a bank

[00:29:15.199]
teller. I'm gonna make sure to leave that as export

[00:29:17.549]
only if I click save just to be safe

[00:29:20.189]
but it is a really handy way

[00:29:22.539]
to you know, in this kind of online world

[00:29:24.750]
where you know,

[00:29:26.930]
Often you're not even going somewhere for an interview,

[00:29:29.189]
you're doing it via zoom and it's great to

[00:29:31.229]
have these online tools to be able to share, throw

[00:29:33.380]
into a chat message, you know while you're

[00:29:35.449]
having your interview or again put it in a cover

[00:29:37.709]
letter or when you're submitting online

[00:29:40.989]
So

[00:29:42.118]
there are lots of other features here but

[00:29:44.209]
those are kind of the main ones I wanted to point

[00:29:46.229]
out, you can change up the look and feel

[00:29:48.598]
you can change your privacy

[00:29:50.828]
letter or privacy level.

[00:29:55.180]
All right, so we've got the same type of options under

[00:29:57.459]
cover letters. So I've got a few

[00:29:59.618]
going here. They're not quite as

[00:30:01.739]
extensive

[00:30:03.759]
assuming this often is gonna get, you know, pasted

[00:30:05.969]
right into an email or something but

[00:30:08.259]
you've got some options for cover letters

[00:30:10.279]
here too.

[00:30:13.640]
now resumes tend to come after

[00:30:15.699]
you've decided what kind of career you want. Right?

[00:30:17.979]
So also under career tools you've got

[00:30:20.170]
the option to find a career

[00:30:22.469]
and this offers a career assessment.

[00:30:24.930]
Oh sorry I think I've timed out.

[00:30:27.259]
Yeah. Sorry folks let me let me log back

[00:30:29.539]
in. oh wait

[00:30:31.880]
now I think men

[00:30:35.160]
try this again

[00:30:39.348]
Yeah there we go. So yeah look like

[00:30:41.588]
I timed out in the visual C. V. Tool

[00:30:45.150]
Are there sample practices I believe?

[00:30:47.588]
Let me double check. I'm gonna actually

[00:30:49.890]
use the search

[00:30:53.660]
Yes. Master The

[00:30:55.670]
practice prepare

[00:30:58.118]
pro exam which is not an exam

[00:31:00.519]
I'm familiar with but it looks like practice

[00:31:02.900]
practice two.

[00:31:05.939]
oh sorry that's the eBook so it automatically

[00:31:08.269]
wanted to download it for me.

[00:31:12.430]
and there we go practice test for the practice core

[00:31:14.529]
practice core exams.

[00:31:16.900]
Takes us right out. I'm

[00:31:18.959]
gonna yeah I was gonna say should

[00:31:21.140]
be right to the practice test so yes there are

[00:31:25.390]
thanks and let me know if you wanna dive into

[00:31:27.439]
those a little more

[00:31:31.939]
Ok so back to the career assessment,

[00:31:34.250]
there are four assessments

[00:31:36.328]
that are performed

[00:31:37.838]
and we would encourage folks to fill out all

[00:31:40.140]
four.

[00:31:41.818]
If they can uh, you

[00:31:44.078]
know, if you're gonna kind of sit down and commit to this,

[00:31:46.140]
we hope you'll kind of leave enough time to do all four.

[00:31:48.160]
But technically you only have to take the

[00:31:50.180]
first two which I've done here

[00:31:52.410]
to get matched up with careers.

[00:31:55.309]
So as interests and values

[00:31:57.420]
both have to be completed

[00:32:00.559]
Oh you're welcome man, no problem.

[00:32:03.400]
the tests though

[00:32:05.689]
I

[00:32:06.818]
I find really engaging a lot

[00:32:08.989]
of career assessments. Are would you

[00:32:11.039]
like to do this job? Yes. No. Maybe

[00:32:13.989]
really basic what I like

[00:32:16.078]
about these is they ask different

[00:32:18.390]
questions like four different sections,

[00:32:20.890]
not just your interest but what do you what do you like

[00:32:22.949]
your workplace to be like?

[00:32:24.640]
and also the way they've done them is kind

[00:32:26.759]
of engaging. There are of course going to be some multiple

[00:32:29.088]
choice involved. But this is,

[00:32:31.118]
you know, asking on these cards, what are the least

[00:32:33.598]
important um,

[00:32:35.709]
uh, cards here for my ideal

[00:32:37.779]
organization.

[00:32:38.949]
and then it will ask you what are your most important

[00:32:41.328]
and all of this feeds into

[00:32:43.368]
the ultimate careers, it's recommending for

[00:32:45.568]
you. So again I would encourage

[00:32:47.670]
folks to fill out all four. I'm gonna

[00:32:49.868]
exit though this

[00:32:52.098]
oh how my journey wanna be under assessments

[00:32:54.199]
I would encourage folks to fill

[00:32:56.279]
out all four but it is it is not required

[00:32:58.640]
just to have to take the first two and then

[00:33:00.709]
once it's matched you up

[00:33:04.809]
it ranks them by these are

[00:33:06.828]
probably gonna be kind of familiar

[00:33:09.519]


[00:33:10.799]
you know, kind of industry and subject areas.

[00:33:13.170]
It's looking at where you'd be

[00:33:15.180]
strongest by subject area

[00:33:17.410]
and then showing off to the right kind of where you

[00:33:19.880]
where you land in some of these now, you're

[00:33:21.969]
not limited to things that you were strong in,

[00:33:24.029]
you can of course always view all careers

[00:33:26.529]
and explore them.

[00:33:28.250]
And as you go in, I'm going to say health

[00:33:30.410]
sciences

[00:33:32.088]
and you're looking at these. It's letting you know

[00:33:34.328]
whether you wear a strong match or not. If

[00:33:36.338]
you look over on the left you can kind of

[00:33:38.410]
break them down by different areas.

[00:33:40.430]
So Say I'm strong in

[00:33:42.500]
health science but of course it's a lot of schooling to

[00:33:44.578]
become a psychiatrist. Maybe that's

[00:33:46.689]
my plan. But what can

[00:33:48.709]
I do in the meantime, you know, I've got a high school

[00:33:50.900]
degree, what can I do to, you know, maybe

[00:33:53.019]
still work in health sciences so you can adjust

[00:33:56.348]
and choose the education level and

[00:33:58.559]
or an experience level to see what

[00:34:00.618]
what might be a good fit while you're going

[00:34:02.660]
to school.

[00:34:03.939]
You can also

[00:34:06.660]
Isolate and use the military

[00:34:08.719]
crosswalk tool, which I think

[00:34:10.860]
this is great. I know you know that

[00:34:13.159]
military base is in New Jersey. So this could

[00:34:15.269]
be really helpful for folks who may be out of

[00:34:17.329]
the military. They're looking for what to do next.

[00:34:21.309]
You can get matched up with

[00:34:23.610]
putting in your codes and let

[00:34:25.708]
me go ahead and I had these are things I had to

[00:34:27.728]
look up

[00:34:29.809]
Or someone who's in a career is probably

[00:34:31.989]
going to or been in the military

[00:34:34.208]
is gonna know these codes.

[00:34:37.228]
And you can get matched up. So a 255

[00:34:39.489]
a is an information systems technician

[00:34:41.860]
in the army and I can get matched up with

[00:34:44.000]
what careers would go strongly with that experience.

[00:34:47.340]
so I, I wish

[00:34:49.780]
this was a tool you could get to before

[00:34:52.128]
you perform the assessment. I wish it was

[00:34:54.168]
elsewhere. But you do have to go through

[00:34:56.478]
and again answer those first two assessments

[00:34:58.590]
and then once you get to your careers list

[00:35:01.739]
And just of course make any choice here.

[00:35:04.199]
You'll then can get to that military crossword. So

[00:35:06.320]
it's a couple extra clicks

[00:35:08.500]
you're gonna have to go through to find

[00:35:10.679]
it but hopefully down the road that'll be offered

[00:35:13.159]
standalone so you can get to it from elsewhere.

[00:35:15.599]
But in the meantime that's how you find that very

[00:35:17.860]
handy. and then for each

[00:35:19.978]
of these jobs I'm just gonna go ahead and jump into one,

[00:35:22.059]
you get the a good overview. So you

[00:35:24.199]
know what are the you know kind of daily tasks like

[00:35:26.699]
what programs or

[00:35:28.739]
degrees do you have to hold what abilities,

[00:35:31.110]
what skills, you know that type of thing

[00:35:33.128]
over on the right, you can find average

[00:35:35.179]
salary and it will even let you kind

[00:35:37.280]
of look out

[00:35:39.228]
and see what's out there

[00:35:41.309]
right now for astronauts.

[00:35:43.360]
Oh no, astronomer astronomers is what, pick

[00:35:45.590]
all those astronauts for a minute.

[00:35:48.449]
you can even see the outlooks over the next 10

[00:35:50.530]
years. Is this career growing? Is it shrinking?

[00:35:52.769]
Looks like we're astronomers, not

[00:35:55.458]
super promising. But

[00:35:58.228]
some other tools as well.

[00:36:02.389]
and then there is actually a job search

[00:36:04.530]
tool here and when

[00:36:06.599]
you come in you can actually filter

[00:36:09.188]
by the data that it's pulled from your assessments

[00:36:11.809]
to so jobs match strength

[00:36:13.849]
and then that type of thing.

[00:36:15.469]
But let's say we're looking for

[00:36:18.840]
Give me here, I've got a uh,

[00:36:25.260]
Sorry folks, I don't have my note for what I was gonna

[00:36:27.369]
search here. So I'm gonna go ahead and

[00:36:32.688]
and put in

[00:36:36.668]
in a moment. We'll see how we do.

[00:36:39.869]
go so still tying in with your content

[00:36:42.250]
from the assessments

[00:36:43.978]
And here we have found some jobs. Now this

[00:36:46.030]
is also gonna actually be a partner tool

[00:36:48.168]
when I click out.

[00:36:49.869]
choose to learn more. We're actually

[00:36:52.059]
crawling out it indeed Dot com

[00:36:54.110]
to grab these open positions, which is

[00:36:56.269]
a tool in itself. It is a crawler

[00:36:58.289]
that goes out, folks can of course post things here,

[00:37:00.539]
but they also go out and crawl different websites.

[00:37:03.090]
So like, you know

[00:37:04.769]
employment offices or.

[00:37:07.728]
even just like corporate websites that post open

[00:37:09.909]
positions, things like that and bring them all back

[00:37:12.000]
here. And then of course indeed, dot

[00:37:14.019]
com has its own, you know, kind of tools where

[00:37:16.039]
you can, you know, keep track of your resume and the jobs

[00:37:18.219]
you've applied for and things like that, but

[00:37:20.559]
really great site. So

[00:37:22.728]
it also could be something familiar if someone is already

[00:37:24.889]
looking for a job. Indeed is something they might already

[00:37:27.019]
be using.

[00:37:29.840]
So lots of paths when you come into

[00:37:32.059]
the assessment tool, you get to the job search,

[00:37:34.199]
you get to that military crosswalk, you get to of

[00:37:36.280]
course the overviews for jobs

[00:37:38.320]
and careers. So lots of good stuff

[00:37:40.619]
there, just

[00:37:43.079]
checking our time we're doing ok again do

[00:37:45.179]
feel free to ask questions

[00:37:47.840]
We gotta come back close out some of these tabs

[00:37:51.590]
under explore careers. You'll also find

[00:37:54.110]
under career tools, the career

[00:37:56.239]
advice section. And this is kind of run

[00:37:58.369]
like a course as well. It's almost tutorials

[00:38:01.059]
for all of these, you know different

[00:38:04.329]
areas of looking for a career

[00:38:06.389]
or a job. So career changes,

[00:38:08.418]
transitioning out of the military and you

[00:38:10.489]
do kind of go through it like of course since you have completed

[00:38:12.949]
some of these or haven't completed, but

[00:38:14.958]
have started them

[00:38:16.969]
So lots of against

[00:38:18.978]
support and certainly these

[00:38:21.260]
are

[00:38:24.369]
you know, con things you might cover

[00:38:26.860]
on the shelves in the library, you know, lots of books

[00:38:28.929]
about these content. What I like about these is

[00:38:31.010]
they're fairly short, they're a little quick to go

[00:38:33.059]
through

[00:38:35.148]
you know and just get some good pointers for all

[00:38:37.208]
of these in this case salary

[00:38:39.239]
negotiations.

[00:38:42.639]
So lots of good stuff here.

[00:38:46.050]
And then last thing we'll take a look at find a school.

[00:38:48.570]
So we've broken these down by college

[00:38:51.449]
and graduate school. So if we go into

[00:38:53.599]
college and scholarship search

[00:38:56.260]
that's what these will be tied to. So distance learning

[00:38:58.570]
for you know two and four year institutions.

[00:39:01.030]
Career colleges search undergraduate

[00:39:03.469]
nursing school. There's a graduate nursing search

[00:39:06.010]
in the graduate program. So

[00:39:08.039]
just kind of breakdown by where you're at or

[00:39:10.119]
where you're looking to be I guess in that

[00:39:12.340]
state of education

[00:39:14.909]
And again the help for lots

[00:39:17.269]
of financial tools here. So the scholarship

[00:39:19.489]
search as well as f on financial

[00:39:21.610]
aid advice, a quiz.

[00:39:23.969]
That's a good stuff.

[00:39:25.360]
We take a look at the undergraduate school search.

[00:39:29.260]
basically, if you're, if you've used

[00:39:31.438]
one of the Peterson's college books, that's

[00:39:33.898]
what we're gonna be browsing here. Just of course,

[00:39:35.909]
lots of different ways to filter it. You can certainly just

[00:39:38.090]
search by a school if you want to see their info.

[00:39:40.918]
But the filters over on the left will

[00:39:42.978]
let you kind of get a list of schools

[00:39:45.148]
going maybe to apply to. So let's say we're looking

[00:39:47.590]
with, I love that in state tuition.

[00:39:49.648]
Let me see, we'll choose New Jersey.

[00:39:52.719]
and you can break down by area

[00:39:54.780]
of study school, type, average G.

[00:39:56.820]
P. A. Things like that to get in.

[00:39:59.320]
It is I love the area

[00:40:01.398]
of study because it's a long list,

[00:40:03.519]
but you can also just kind of type,

[00:40:06.438]
and get to those areas

[00:40:09.168]
you might need. So I kind of scroll

[00:40:11.349]
a bit here, grab for

[00:40:13.110]
biology degree

[00:40:15.469]
and as we select over on the right

[00:40:17.570]
it's just kind of filtering and showing the schools

[00:40:19.869]
that match so you can choose public

[00:40:22.079]
or private two and 44 year

[00:40:24.438]
missing difficulties school size

[00:40:26.800]
setting.

[00:40:27.750]
All of these options are available.

[00:40:31.320]
and then once you want to go in and explore

[00:40:33.438]
a school, go ahead and grab say Saint Elizabeth

[00:40:35.820]
University,

[00:40:38.000]
Again, this is what you can, you know, expect to

[00:40:40.099]
find in the books, just breaking down all these

[00:40:42.179]
areas majors and degrees offer, what the

[00:40:44.289]
student body makeup is, tuition and fees,

[00:40:46.860]
Athletics faculty,

[00:40:49.250]
you've got all of the those

[00:40:51.398]
kind of details to help find the perfect school.

[00:40:57.500]
All righty, so a couple of things under

[00:40:59.619]
this college search.

[00:41:02.269]
And so go ahead and let me jump into the graduate school one as

[00:41:04.389]
well. So M. B. A. Programs.

[00:41:07.208]


[00:41:08.300]
I love the distance learning. A lot of folks like to

[00:41:10.389]
do their degrees that way particularly

[00:41:12.969]
for a graduate program but then also

[00:41:15.148]
the the F. F. S. A. Help. So again multiple things

[00:41:17.369]
can show up. the scholarship

[00:41:19.708]
searches I think are really valuable. We

[00:41:21.728]
have again one for graduate and undergraduate

[00:41:24.360]
They work really like the school search. Does

[00:41:26.619]
you just choose over on the left?

[00:41:28.659]
You know, maybe we're looking for something

[00:41:30.800]
that's tied to the state we're gonna be studying

[00:41:32.938]
in. We

[00:41:35.000]
can isolate to those, see if they're a good fit.

[00:41:37.260]
So

[00:41:38.030]
great way to be able to keep track of

[00:41:40.639]
or sorry, not keep track but to find, you know, scholarships

[00:41:43.239]
to apply for.

[00:41:45.599]
also under find a school, the college

[00:41:47.809]
planning center. So if you're with say

[00:41:49.958]
a high school or a public library where

[00:41:52.128]
you find you're you know offering a lot

[00:41:54.188]
of support to students and parents. This is a great

[00:41:56.289]
place to kind of start with them. So

[00:41:58.559]
great tool like if you're having an open house this

[00:42:00.739]
fall at at school or

[00:42:03.019]
some sort of you know program around

[00:42:05.179]


[00:42:06.128]
college help and applying at

[00:42:08.429]
the public library.

[00:42:09.989]
it brings everything together. We've got

[00:42:12.349]
the advice tools, we've got the different

[00:42:14.750]
test prep links, we have a lot

[00:42:17.099]
of things all pulled into one place.

[00:42:19.168]
I love these checklists. So if I've got

[00:42:21.469]
you know a nephew who's going into

[00:42:23.829]
10th grade, what should

[00:42:25.860]
he be doing? What should his parents be doing?

[00:42:29.099]
just these quick checklists for,

[00:42:31.550]
you know, tasks relating to getting ready

[00:42:33.860]
for being out of school basically.

[00:42:36.070]
whether you're heading back in or or heading

[00:42:38.219]
into a career. So really great

[00:42:40.780]
content there.

[00:42:42.938]
And that leads me to some of the tools

[00:42:45.099]
I want to talk about around discovering

[00:42:47.188]
this, your, your patrons, your students discovering

[00:42:49.639]
this resource in the library. So

[00:42:52.429]
any questions about anything here

[00:42:54.760]
in the resource itself,

[00:42:58.289]
I kind of nothing in the chat in the Q.

[00:43:00.409]
And A. All, it can always come back. So I'm gonna pop back

[00:43:02.478]
to the power point for a minute.

[00:43:05.059]
So Discovery we

[00:43:07.148]
want to get these users in this resource

[00:43:09.539]
right. So we offer a couple

[00:43:11.719]
tools

[00:43:12.829]
mentioned the subject hubs.

[00:43:15.039]
So those are the pages where

[00:43:17.119]
if I come back this would be a subject hub.

[00:43:19.188]
The college planning center.

[00:43:21.070]
If I go in under college

[00:43:23.458]
prep and choose a. C. T.

[00:43:27.489]
This is a subject to

[00:43:29.869]
What we've done

[00:43:31.489]
is create,

[00:43:33.449]
sorry. Then back to my power point, there we go,

[00:43:35.570]
create Mark Records.

[00:43:37.659]
For those subject tops,

[00:43:40.360]
we've also created direct U. R. L.

[00:43:42.648]
S. For those subject tops.

[00:43:44.639]
And what you can do is

[00:43:47.309]
use those U. R. L. S. To promote

[00:43:49.699]
say if your library has a twitter or facebook

[00:43:51.989]
page you can you know embed them in a tweet

[00:43:54.119]
or a facebook post you can put

[00:43:56.300]
them in a newsletter. The library sends

[00:43:58.579]
out what a lot of libraries

[00:44:00.878]
have done. Is taking those U. R. L.

[00:44:03.273]
S. And turn them into Q. R. Codes

[00:44:05.514]
and then place them around,

[00:44:07.534]
you know all the test prep, books in the library,

[00:44:09.635]
the college books in the library.

[00:44:11.875]
So folks can quick snap that with their phone

[00:44:13.894]
and they're left right to the S. A. T. Subject

[00:44:16.184]
hub. And Peterson's test and career

[00:44:18.235]
prep. we've also created

[00:44:20.840]
Mark Records for the subject hubs

[00:44:22.969]
and the ebooks. So folks come

[00:44:25.119]
into your catalog,

[00:44:27.320]
Search on the practice exam,

[00:44:29.909]
they would land right from that mark record

[00:44:32.438]
in either the ebook or the subject

[00:44:34.530]
tab, whichever you, you know, whichever mark

[00:44:36.659]
record you choose. Oh or both.

[00:44:38.918]
So let me show you where to find these.

[00:44:41.329]
All right, so

[00:44:43.659]
We offer a support site

[00:44:46.000]
for New Jersey

[00:44:47.820]
and I'm gonna I've got this on a slide in a minute

[00:44:49.978]
but it's support dot Gail dot com slash N.

[00:44:52.119]
J. S. L.

[00:44:54.679]
and when you get there, the first thing it's gonna

[00:44:56.708]
do is ask you to choose your library

[00:44:59.099]
from a list.

[00:45:01.099]
And if you don't see your library

[00:45:03.168]
do let us know. We've got a request here. You can of course

[00:45:05.378]
reach out to someone at gale.

[00:45:07.539]
But hopefully we've got everybody. I'm just gonna grab

[00:45:09.699]
one of the first ones here

[00:45:11.679]
and then what it does is customize our

[00:45:13.699]
our support site to your library.

[00:45:16.050]
So first you see your link so there's your

[00:45:18.260]
your U. R. L. To get into the database

[00:45:20.320]
as a whole and those and I'm sorry I shouldn't

[00:45:22.340]
mention this at the top but we are using

[00:45:24.559]
geo authentication there. So if folks are

[00:45:26.628]
in New Jersey they click the link and they're

[00:45:28.789]
in as long as we can, you know see their

[00:45:30.869]
location as long as they allow that. If not of course

[00:45:33.208]
there are other authentication methods we can work

[00:45:35.219]
with but

[00:45:36.898]
right there. I've got the link into the Resource

[00:45:39.039]
and if I click on the database name

[00:45:41.458]
it will take me to the product support page.

[00:45:44.239]
And we've got database

[00:45:46.719]
icons if you need them. But here are those Mark

[00:45:48.909]
Records I mentioned. So you can download

[00:45:51.039]
Mark Records for the ebooks

[00:45:53.349]
and then if you've done that before.

[00:45:55.659]
Maybe if this was a resource you were subscribed to before

[00:45:58.280]
the state picked it up we also

[00:46:00.550]
have just content updates. So here's the

[00:46:02.619]
last set of mark records we created

[00:46:04.750]
for the content that's been added to the database

[00:46:06.849]
since that that full list. So you

[00:46:08.929]
can get just the updates. But then there are

[00:46:10.978]
the subject head records.

[00:46:13.840]
and there's other good stuff here. We'll come back and

[00:46:15.889]
look it up but it kind of talking to more about Discovery.

[00:46:18.378]
I wanna also show you

[00:46:20.938]
if from product support they're at the top

[00:46:23.228]
of the page up in the banner I select

[00:46:25.469]
direct U. R. L. S.

[00:46:29.128]
It gives you your link for the database.

[00:46:31.389]
But

[00:46:34.039]
if I click on this tab this button here,

[00:46:36.260]
Test and Career Prep

[00:46:39.860]
they are the subject hub U.

[00:46:41.969]
R. L. S. So if we've got

[00:46:44.139]
an a p study section in the library

[00:46:46.969]
I can grab this U. R. L.

[00:46:50.208]
and

[00:46:51.539]
create a Q. R. Code out of it. Put

[00:46:53.849]
it where that a p study section is.

[00:46:57.309]
Kids can click boom they land right

[00:46:59.449]
in the resource on the A. P. A.

[00:47:01.659]
P. Subject hub.

[00:47:03.110]
And of course you can do that for any of these so that

[00:47:05.148]
college

[00:47:06.978]
planning center. You have

[00:47:09.539]
the LSAT the adam

[00:47:11.918]
all of these

[00:47:14.389]
Subject types. You can take people to

[00:47:18.250]
So great way to point them into

[00:47:20.309]
the resources

[00:47:22.708]
now. The other good stuff on this page and

[00:47:24.739]
I scroll back up to the top

[00:47:26.728]
marketing materials, we've got

[00:47:28.849]
bookmarks, we've got

[00:47:31.208]
social media posts ready to go.

[00:47:33.329]
We've got

[00:47:34.809]
newsletter blurbs.

[00:47:37.059]
You can use press release type

[00:47:39.159]
things

[00:47:40.559]
all ready to go.

[00:47:42.938]
I grab these images, put them

[00:47:45.010]
on an Instagram, put them on a Facebook post.

[00:47:48.228]
There are print materials too.

[00:47:50.369]
You can usually customize those and put your library

[00:47:52.708]
link on them. We'll take a look at the bookmark here.

[00:47:54.849]
I'm pretty sure you can do that.

[00:47:56.889]
These yes add your logo here

[00:47:59.829]
Your link on the on the other side

[00:48:03.260]
Hi so maybe just your website not the database

[00:48:05.559]
where all those are too long. But

[00:48:08.510]
You know ways to promote the resource

[00:48:11.550]
There's also lots of good training material

[00:48:14.699]
under the training center. So tips for using

[00:48:16.949]
the database any I'll just

[00:48:19.019]
browse by product and we'll grab all of it.

[00:48:21.438]


[00:48:24.010]
you know, we have a presentation if you're gonna go

[00:48:26.059]
out and again, maybe you're running a program

[00:48:28.309]
at the library around college preparedness.

[00:48:31.128]
We've got a PowerPoint ready about this

[00:48:33.269]
resource. We tend to

[00:48:35.429]
think we want to give you more than you might

[00:48:37.559]
need. So there are a lot of slides you can of course pair

[00:48:39.590]
that down to just what you want can

[00:48:41.760]
customize it, but it's again, no need to recreate

[00:48:44.148]
the wheel. We've got a lot of this stuff ready to go

[00:48:46.659]
handouts quick, you know, tip sheet

[00:48:48.889]
about how to create an account.

[00:48:51.829]
and using the Resource, we've got some videos

[00:48:53.918]
as well, so

[00:48:55.539]
lots of good stuff here. And then

[00:48:57.559]
we also specifically if I go

[00:48:59.570]
ahead under the once we're again logged

[00:49:01.750]
into the account, it knows we're with New

[00:49:04.128]
Jersey State Library and using the

[00:49:06.648]
Jersey clicks program. If I go

[00:49:08.728]
under training there, that's where you'll see

[00:49:11.539]
content specific for New Jersey. So any

[00:49:13.679]
upcoming webinars or ones that we've

[00:49:15.728]
offered specifically for New Jersey

[00:49:18.219]
and then I've also put some tutorials and

[00:49:20.418]
additional materials here, but you

[00:49:22.500]
got to keep track of what we've done specifically

[00:49:24.579]
for New Jersey training on this resource on this

[00:49:26.659]
page as well. So last week

[00:49:28.769]
we offered a session about getting usage statistics

[00:49:30.909]
for the resource and using gale's

[00:49:33.059]
app. Access my library. So that

[00:49:35.188]
recordings here as well as the one we did this

[00:49:37.208]
summer to kind of introduce the resource.

[00:49:40.360]
So lots of good stuff there.

[00:49:44.168]
So let me pop back to the power point

[00:49:46.418]
we'll start wrapping up here

[00:49:49.260]
So again we want you to be able to rely on your

[00:49:51.398]
Gale team.

[00:49:52.909]
and we have

[00:49:54.969]
oh sorry, I didn't know if we might need this

[00:49:57.119]
slide. Let me go ahead and I'll just kind of fill everything

[00:49:59.188]
in. We did we used it this summer

[00:50:01.369]
just there were more questions about

[00:50:03.530]
access and things like that for

[00:50:05.550]
the resource. So I'll just kind of put it up here

[00:50:07.668]
for me. see if this would be helpful for anybody. But

[00:50:10.070]
at this point if you were already subscribed

[00:50:12.978]
to the Resource when Jersey clicks

[00:50:15.079]
picked it up you should have heard from your file representative

[00:50:18.050]
About a credit I think

[00:50:20.329]
everybody really has gotten set up with

[00:50:22.449]
their access U. R. L.

[00:50:24.628]
S. But again you can always get those through the support site

[00:50:26.849]
so of course feel free to ask

[00:50:28.869]
any questions.

[00:50:30.898]
And then again the support site, I was just using

[00:50:33.119]
support dot G dot com slash N. J. S.

[00:50:35.208]
L. S. Where you'll find all that good stuff

[00:50:38.780]
And then of course when you want to talk to a person

[00:50:41.219]
you can reach out to your Gale team. So again

[00:50:43.360]
I'm your trainer, happy to hear from you.

[00:50:45.418]
You'll get an email again around this time

[00:50:47.458]
tomorrow with my follow up it will

[00:50:49.639]
have all these email addresses and our number

[00:50:51.739]
and everything as well as some other good stuff.

[00:50:54.039]
But you can always reach out to gale. Your account

[00:50:56.378]
rep. Is of course always happy to chat with you

[00:50:58.869]
customer success managers

[00:51:01.389]
at Gale are really there to help you be successful with

[00:51:03.478]
the resources so they can give you ideas for promotion.

[00:51:06.478]
They can walk you through, signing up for usage reports.

[00:51:09.300]
They're probably the best person to get to know at gale.

[00:51:11.780]
once you've you know got access to

[00:51:13.889]
to Gale content. They're an excellent resource.

[00:51:16.639]
And actually when you go to the support site and sign

[00:51:18.760]
in, it will let you know who your C. S. M. Is

[00:51:20.840]
because they specialize by library

[00:51:22.969]
types. So if you're with a K. 12

[00:51:25.019]
school you're with a academic library,

[00:51:27.820]
that's who they work with all the time.

[00:51:30.000]
So they kind of are prepared for that

[00:51:32.878]
type tips questions you might have or needs you might

[00:51:35.010]
have. So.

[00:51:36.010]
this email address though will get routed to

[00:51:38.110]
the right person for your library

[00:51:39.969]
and then of course tech support is available. Should

[00:51:42.039]
we have, you know, any issues with the database,

[00:51:44.168]
you can always reach out to them. the

[00:51:46.239]
800 number or of course we've got their

[00:51:48.300]
email address there too.

[00:51:50.610]
So with that I will say thank you.

[00:51:52.628]
Keep an eye on our calendars for more sessions,

[00:51:55.070]
let us know what you'd like to see in terms

[00:51:57.378]
of training for this resource.

[00:51:59.510]
We are that's how we, you know, ended up with

[00:52:01.590]
the usage stats and access

[00:52:03.780]
my library app. It was a request from

[00:52:06.090]
the first training session we offered. So let

[00:52:08.320]
us know when you leave the webinar today, it

[00:52:10.369]
will I'll prompt you to fill out our survey.

[00:52:12.445]
So you can certainly give your feedback there too. But

[00:52:14.523]
I'm gonna stick around here and see if there are any

[00:52:16.554]
questions or feedback and

[00:52:18.603]
we'll take those but if you're

[00:52:20.655]
