<div style="text-align: left;">
I recently attended a training session focused on responding
to the newly implemented Short-Form Requests for Proposals (SRFPs; 2-page short
form for procurement of services used by the BC Government for selected projects). During the session we had the opportunity to
read a sample SRFP, collectively compose/submit a proposal, and review another
submission. It was a very insightful
process, similar to mock interviews that career practitioners often recommend
for clients. Playing the role of the reviewer really highlighted the importance
of integrating key words, addressing requested information, and avoiding non-essential
information. I expand on each of these
elements, below:</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnxLAlnATkI5E2pXVGY6p3ExXuGQiP6zlsQUoyqStmX7crgdfj5S1cxFC9j4ljaXJUzrOSglvJY29U-FO-EpwE9MXr_Cn2EX_vQ8UKBhrgT4_qgkBpLQNyGr07BD1iviV5TzJIEXBf4nA/s1600/write.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnxLAlnATkI5E2pXVGY6p3ExXuGQiP6zlsQUoyqStmX7crgdfj5S1cxFC9j4ljaXJUzrOSglvJY29U-FO-EpwE9MXr_Cn2EX_vQ8UKBhrgT4_qgkBpLQNyGr07BD1iviV5TzJIEXBf4nA/s1600/write.jpg" height="320" width="245" /></a><b>Integrating Key
Words: </b>Just as a job seeker would review a job posting for key terms (e.g.,
“self-starter”) for his/her resume or application, proposal writers should identify
key terms in the RFP. Look for clues
throughout the proposal, ask questions for clarification, and refer to the
funder’s website. Address relevant
industry terms; remember, if you’re responding to the RFP, you’re positioning
yourself as the expert so you should know what else is essential (e.g.,
“cost-saving measures,” “stakeholder engagement”). However, avoid simply copying and pasting;
this can result in an awkward end-product that is hard to read. Instead, strive for a careful and thoughtful
integration of key terms into your own writing style. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Addressing Requested
Information: </b>First, ensure you can meet all mandatory minimum requirements
stipulated. If not, your proposal won’t
even be reviewed. Consider this: If a job
advertisement requested a Bachelor’s Degree and you either didn’t have that, or
forgot to mention it, it’s highly likely you will be screened out; your
application never reviewed by a hiring manager.
Some requirements will be explicit, but others may be more cryptic. Any time you read that <i>something</i> is preferred, or that preference will be given to those
demonstrating <i>something</i>, take this as
a clue that extra points will be given for those components. If two – four examples are requested, write
four. Include your most relevant
items. If you aren’t sure about
requirements, ask for clarification to ensure you are on the right track. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Avoiding Non-Essential
Information</b>. Proposal reviewers have a structured process for evaluation
and are looking for very specific items.
If these items are not addressed, points cannot be awarded. Stay focused in your response, strive for
concise writing, and direct your energy towards areas that are evaluated. For example, a corporate profile or executive
summary may be requested but not evaluated. Allocate your time based on importance; if it
wasn’t requested or won’t be evaluated, it likely should not be your primary
focus. Lastly, ensure that page limits are
adhered to as reviewers cannot review content past the page limit.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The reality is that some RFPs, just like job advertisements,
may not be well written or thought through completely. It may be challenging to
adequately address each component if the RFP is unclear or contradictory;
however, a poorly written RFP does not excuse a poorly written proposal. It is
your responsibility to submit a well written proposal that clearly addresses
requests; ask questions if you are unclear.<br />

</span>Generally, the goal of certification is to establish a minimum set of
skills, knowledge, and attitudes (KSAs), outline educational requirements, and
encourage continuous learning through continuing education units/credits. Many
employers use the provincial credential as a minimum hiring standard and, in
some cases, funders have considered making certification a requirement for various
funded projects.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"></span></div>

interesting question emerged – Does certification result in more highly-skilled
practitioners and, therefore, better service to clients? It was agreed that, as
many employers are considering certification as a minimum (or at least
preferred) hiring standard, there must be at least some anecdotal evidence.
However, none of the meeting attendees were aware of any research or indication
that certified CDPs were "better" than those who were not certified. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"></span></div>

with several colleagues during CANNEXUS 2014 to explore it further. Although I
only spoke to a few people, the general consensus seemed to be that no one is
tracking how, or if, certification impacts practice. At least one contact I
spoke to mentioned there was no difference between staff who were certified and
staff who were not. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

times the focus is helping individuals overcome barriers such as language,
education level, or age. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, classifying
certain things as “barriers” as can be short sighted. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Often the very things that we view as
disadvantages can be advantages.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At the moment I’m only a few chapters into Malcolm
Gladwell’s new book, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">David and Goliath:
Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants,</i> where he examines the
stories of classic “underdogs” highlighting the role that the perceived
“barrier” played in the success of the individual. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Typically the individual finds a way to change
the game in some way; to play by his/her own rules where the disadvantages are
actually a source of strength.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Malcolm notes that often individuals with barriers strive
relentlessly to become a small fish in a big pond.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although this would typically signify
success, all too often, you can’t get noticed with so many high achievers around
you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead, Malcolm notes that the
underdog becomes successful by becoming a big fish in a little pond. This can
take some “out of the box” thinking.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">How can we help job seekers embrace their barriers? A
starting place would be to reframe negatives as positives and provide supports
that help clients build on these advantages. For example, language might be a
barrier, but being fluent in another language can be beneficial in many
different communities where clients or customers may also have language
barriers. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Use the comment section to let us know how else you can
reframe negatives.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<![endif]--><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Earlier this year our team had the opportunity to meet
several internationally trained professionals (ITPs), from a wide range of
countries and representing a number of different professional occupations. All
of these individuals had made the decision to immigrate to Canada and were
committed to staying here, putting down roots, and raising their families. All,
however, were frustrated by the many challenges in establishing their
pre-immigration careers. These included challenges with regulatory bodies and
professional associations, lack of recognition of previous experience and
education, language barriers, and adjusting to Canadian workplace practices. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Many of the ITPs find themselves working in “survival jobs” and
feeling quite underutilized . . . doctors washing dishes, engineers working as
janitors, bankers/accountants driving cabs. Reitz (2011)<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1982211725534103684#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference">[1]</span></span></a>
called this the “taxi driver syndrome,” estimating that this underutilization
of immigrants is costing the Canadian economy $3 billion every year. We attract
the world’s best and brightest, then leave them to navigate our complex system
with little to no assistance – Lamontage (2003)<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1982211725534103684#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference">[2]</span></span></a>
called this <i>seduction and abandonment</i>.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Despite the numerous challenges, all of these professionals
had good things to say about the services they received from various
community-based agencies. They’d had settlement assistance, been referred to
language classes, taken workshops in Canadian workplace culture, and had
support in developing their resumes, cover letters, and interview skills. They
were very thankful for the assistance offered, most stating that the Career
Development Practitioners (CDPs) who assisted them were very nice and helpful.
However, these professionals also raised some issues that were somewhat
concerning to us, especially given our role as educators. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">These issues focused on two key elements. First, it was felt that CDPs did not truly understand
the complexities of the foreign credential recognition process, resulting in an
inability to help ITPs navigate these systems or connect them with
professionals who could offer assistance. Secondly, CDPs seemed to make rather
bizarre recommendations around what work these highly skilled professionals
should or could do – an economist, with a PhD, told to apply as a customer
service rep in a bank; a structural engineer was told she should take a course
in MS-Office, despite her having superior skills using the entire MS-Office
suite.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">
ITPs face unique challenges and consequently
need specialized solutions. We recommend CDPs develop their understanding of
the foreign credential recognition process, foster strategic relationships with
professional associations and certifying bodies, and learn from the successes
of ITPs who’ve navigated to successful employment in their pre-landing sector.
Further, CDPs should pause to explore the unique skills and qualifications ITPs
bring; rather than assuming an engineer would need MS-Office training, discuss
the advantages of participating in a Canadian education program and explore,
with your client, what might “fit” best.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve spoken and written about the benefits of diversity for
years and on six continents. However, as the adage goes, “we teach what we need
to learn” and I’m definitely still learning. This year I’ve had the privilege
of co-leading a research team to learn from internationally-trained
professionals themselves about the challenges in the foreign credential
recognition process in Canada. Their stories, without exception, illustrated
how very far we still need to go to create Canadian workplaces that embrace diversity.
I’ve also been facilitating employer training as part of two initiatives – the </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><a href="http://www.maple2.ca/">MAPLE 2.0</a> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">program
and </span><a href="http://www.welcomebc.ca/Communities-and-Service-Providers/Communities/communities-landing.aspx" style="mso-comment-date: 20130801T2236; mso-comment-reference: RN_2;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Welcoming Communities</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">.
In both cases, I’ve listened to internationally trained skilled workers and
professionals describe how they can’t get relevant work in their fields until
they have “Canadian experience” – clearly a circular problem as they can’t get
that experience without work in their fields!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve also witnessed examples of individuals, though, who do
get hired into positions closely related to their pre-immigration careers only
to find themselves isolated, unappreciated, and clearly unwelcome by their
colleagues and immediate supervisors. To build a diverse workforce, it’s not
enough to have buy-in from the executive team and HR professionals within the
organization – the average employee also needs to understand the value that
diversity can bring. Too often orientation is focussed exclusively on the
newcomers; however, to create a welcoming workplace it may be necessary to
orient and train incumbent employees, building their cultural competencies and highlighting
the synergies that result with working with colleagues who bring diverse
perspectives, talents, and prior experiences to the project. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The </span><a href="http://www.embracingdiversity.ca/" style="mso-comment-date: 20130801T2237; mso-comment-reference: RN_3;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">SEED toolkit </span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">that
we created for S.U.C.C.E.S.S. a few years ago has recently been updated. If
you’re trying to build a workplace that embraces diversity, it’s a good place
to start with links to virtual resources for recruitment, orientation, and
inclusion of diverse workers, as well as a diversity champion’s guide, a
topical backgrounder, and a diversity yearbook filled with activities and
resources to shift your workplace culture so that diverse workers know they’re
valued and are inspired to fully contribute.</span></div>

</xml><![endif]--><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On June 11, 2013 I received official notice that I’d
graduated from university with a PhD in Human and Organizational Systems, thus
ending the doctoral journey that began in the fall of 2007. I hadn’t
anticipated the journey to take this long but life has a funny way of forcing
you to pause, often when it’s least convenient. The bumps in the road, however,
are not the focus of this blog. Instead, I want to focus on the unexpected
turns life can take and the untapped potential that can be missed when we
define ourselves, or view our clients, from just one perspective.

width="320" /></a>When I was a little girl I dreamed of being a ballerina. I
started dancing when I was 3 and never looked back. I performed in countless
recitals, progressed through the Royal Academy of Dancing’s examination system,
and entered a half day professional program that allowed me to attend high
school half time while furthering my dancing career. Needless to say, high
school was something I had to do, not something I wanted to do. None of the
subjects were relevant for my chosen profession – ballerinas rarely have to
calculate the square root of anything. Lack of relevance led to lack interest,
then to lack of effort. In turn, this led to poor grades and the firm belief
that I wasn’t smart. If ballet didn’t work out, I was in big trouble! Of
course, like thousands of little girls with big dreams, ballet didn’t work out.
Near the end of grade 12, the bloom had firmly fallen off the rose. For a wide
variety of reasons, I knew ballet wasn’t a fit for me . . . it wasn’t an
environment in which I could thrive and, therefore, be successful. But if I
wasn’t “the dancer” then who was I? I’d rarely paid much attention in school,
was lucky to graduate, had a belief that further education was completely out
of the question, and had no clue of what to do next. At the time, the future
seemed quite bleak. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fast forward to today and I find myself among a small
contingent of individuals with PhDs, am a leader in my field, and just finished
some pivotal research around what factors help individuals maximize their
career engagement. So, what changed? How was I able to re-write my belief
system, create a new identity, and find hope? Honestly, I’m still not sure how
it all happened but can recognize now, what I couldn’t then . . . whether I
wanted it to or not, ballet had left an indelible mark on my soul. It taught me
life lessons that helped me to grieve the loss of my future, my “self” as I
knew me, and move on. Things like determination, dedication, perseverance, and passion
. . . with a good dose of stubbornness and perfectionism thrown in for good measure.
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I distinctly remember people encouraging me to frame a
future attached to the “dancer” identity. As if, somehow, all those years would
be wasted if I didn’t do something related to dance. “Why don’t you teach?” was
a common question and I did give it a try, finding it really wasn’t for me. Others
saw me from a different perspective – through my lacklustre academic performance,
believing that I had sabotaged my future by not doing better in school. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My story, however, is not unique. There are countless young
musicians, hockey players, dancers, and singers who dedicated their youth to
pursuing their passion, not caring about academic performance, then finding themselves
unable to “move up” and uncertain how to “move on.” As CDPs we may see these
clients after, perhaps, becoming young parents, hopping from job to job, or
dropping out of college. I’m reminded of the teenage mother who had once been
on the fast track to Olympic stardom in figure skating and the young man who,
after an injury sidelined an incredibly promising tennis career developed a
problem with addiction; both of these people were defined by this new life,
with their counsellors not realizing or recognizing the highly skilled
individuals they still were, underneath their current circumstances. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>I realize our time with clients is often short
but it is important to take the time to consider your clients’ stories – what
their journeys to your office have entailed and the skills and personal
strengths they’ve developed along the way. Focus beyond the skills developed in
work or school to consider how the full range of life activities has influenced
the individual sitting in front of you today.</span></span></span>Deirdrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00667389262899101354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982211725534103684.post-67615653379501174052013-07-04T10:42:00.000-07:002013-07-04T10:42:10.177-07:0010 Tips For Building Self-Confidence As A Mature Job Seeker<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">by Sharon Welch</span></i><br />

<br />
<b>1. Stay current with today’s workforce.</b> Many jobs are based on contract work, and workers can expect to move through several jobs throughout their careers. Longevity with a single employer and job security are far less prominent than in the past. Legislation has also changed, so do some research to understand your rights and responsibilities. <br />
<br />
<b>2. Improve your computer skills.</b> For practice, make documents, conduct online research, and email or text friends and family. Explore websites such as <a href="http://www.50plus.com/">http://www.50plus.com</a> for tips that will maximize your experience. Also look at <a href="http://www.damngood.com/jobseekers/skills-adults.html">www.damngood.com/jobseekers/skills-adults.html</a> and <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/11/15/online-job-hunting-tips-for-boomers/">http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/11/15/online-job-hunting-tips-for-boomers/</a> to get started. <br />
<br />
<b>3. Participate in assessments.</b> Try face-to-face or online assessments to help you determine internal factors such as interests, abilities, personality, and values that may influence your job search or career decision-making process. Consider reading <i>Reinventing Yourself: Life Planning After 50 Using the Strong and MBTI®</i> by Sandra Davis & Bill Hanschin (1998, Consulting Psychologists Press, Palo Alto, CA). Even if you feel that you are on the downswing to retirement, your day-to-day pleasure and satisfaction at work could be at stake. <br />
<br />
<b>4. Make a list of <a href="http://www.quintcareers.com/transferable_skills.html">transferable skills</a>.</b> These are "soft skills" that you have learned through prior experiences that are relevant to the job that you are applying for. For instance, for a customer service position you might highlight interpersonal skills (team building, communicating orally and in writing), organizational skills (scheduling, planning, organizing), and technology skills (using point-of-purchase equipment). Think of skills you developed through work, volunteering, group participation, and personal experiences. <br />
<br />
<b>5. Target your resumes and cover letters to each specific job you are applying for.</b> Use the job description to determine which skills and abilities you should highlight. Don’t try to include everything – only the relevant points. <br />
<br />
<b>6. Use a <a href="http://www.resume-resource.com/exfunctional.html">functional</a> or <a href="http://www.powerful-sample-resume-formats.com/resume-example.html">combination</a> (also known as hybrid) resume style.</b> This helps to minimize gaps in employment or limited experience with a single organization. These resume styles highlight your skills rather than your work history. <br />
<br />
<b>7. Ensure that your resume's look doesn’t date you.</b> Use a modern layout, format, and language. Avoid dates that go back more than 15 years. <br />
<br />
<b>8. <a href="http://internships.about.com/od/networking/ht/Networking.htm">Network, network, network!</a></b> Actively participate in groups such as Toastmasters, Rotary, Probus, or job clubs. Expand or strengthen your skills by volunteering with local non-profit agencies. Conduct <a href="http://www.jobsetc.gc.ca/eng/pieces.jsp?category_id=420">information interviews</a> with employers. And remember to avoid negative words when networking. Focus on what you can do and why someone should hire you. Socializing will increase your community profile and keep you feeling more positive and effective. Don’t get trapped by the "stay-at-home blues". <br />
<br />
<b>9. Build a strong support network.</b> This will help you obtain a new job and maintain it. Consider friends, family, former co-workers, acquaintances, business people, and others who bring expertise in different areas. For instance, some will provide emotional support, while others will bring workplace expertise, labour market knowledge, and other critical information to your network. <br />
<br />
<b>10. Believe in yourself</b>. Perhaps the most important tip for building your self-confidence is to believe in yourself and your ability to make a significant contribution at work. If you are not convinced, others will not be either!<br />

The theme of our current season is “diversity within the workplace.” Earlier this year we conducted research for S.U.C.C.E.S.S. and its government funders on challenges associated with foreign credential recognition for immigrant professionals. One of the key challenges was securing Canadian experience – perhaps a sign that workplaces may not be walking their talk in terms of embracing diversity? In March, I presented at the Career Development Conference in BC on a related theme – I called it “<a href="http://career-engagement.blogspot.ca/2013/05/where-in-world.html">Where in the World? Helping Employers Understand the World Immigrants Come From</a>.” I’ve facilitated workshops for employers associated with the MAPLES program at ISS and, within the next couple of weeks have five more workshops on similar themes.<br />
<br />
In an unrelated research project, career development practitioners acknowledged the<em> importance</em> of working with diversity but, when self-rating their competencies, recognized a significant disconnect – many didn’t believe they had the skills, knowledge, or experience to competently support their diverse clients. Many employers feel the same – they <em>understand </em>the importance of embracing diversity but, at a very practical level, simply <em>don’t know how</em> to attract, hire, retain, and fully engage workers who are in some identifiable way different from their incumbent employees.
<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.embracingdiversity.ca/">Supporting Employers Embracing Diversity (SEED) toolkit</a> that we developed a few years ago in another project for S.U.C.C.E.S.S. has recently been revised. Within the toolkit, two starting places for learning how to effectively welcome and engage diverse workers are the Diversity Champion’s Backgrounder and Guide and the Cultural Diversity Yearbook.
<br />
<br />
One of Stephen Covey’s famous principles is to “Begin with the end in mind.” If you’re interested in building a more diverse workplace, start by asking yourself, “Why?” What are you trying to achieve through diversity? What challenges might you face in pursuing your goal? What supports will you need to ensure diverse workers are able to fully contribute within your organization ?

<b>1. Learn ahead of time – but not too much!</b> It’s good to take the time to learn about the country and culture that you’ll be working in, but it can also be a road block at times. It’s easy to develop expectations and opinions based on the experiences and opinions of others. Learn some, then let your own experiences help you develop your thoughts and opinions about the country and issues you are working with. <br />

<b>2. Learn the language!</b> Find out what language is predominantly used where you will be working, and then put a concerted effort into learning it. Western culture teaches that success is directly linked with productivity. Learning a language can be a frustrating and time consuming process that feels anything but productive. But, taking the time to do it sends a message to the people you are working with that you are invested in and respectful of their culture. Relying on translators can also put you at risk, as you have no control over what is being communicated to you or on your behalf. Expats with experience often recommend committing at least the first 3 months in a new country to exculsively learning the language and culture <i>("An expatriate [sometimes shortened to expat] is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country and culture other than that of the person's upbringing." <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expatriate" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>)</i>. <br />

<b>3. Be flexible. </b>I want things to work in the way I’ve learned that they do, whether it’s time, methodology, or even social “rules”. But, when you work cross-culturally they don’t. Every culture is unique. None of it is wrong or bad – just different. You will need to be flexible as you learn how things work in your new culture. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>4. Immersion looks different for everyone – find your balance.</b> Living cross culturally can feel exotic and thrilling. The idea of totally immersing yourself in a new culture might be exciting. But, it can also be challenging. In the process of soaking it all in and trying to be a part of everything I have seen many expats burn out because they weren’t paying enough attention to their own needs. You might need a certain amount of privacy or personal space, but you’re living in a very communal society. It takes work, but learning what your personal needs are and finding ways to meet those needs will only help over the long term. Learn about your new culture and adopt what feels right, but don’t be afraid to maintain what you need from your home culture where you can. In the process of establishing those things you’ll have an opportunity to teach others about your home culture, expanding their world view while you expand yours. <br />
<br />
<b>5. Learn about the culture shock cycle.</b> Culture shock causes normally sane people to behave as someone all together different, and we all go through it in our own way. You won’t be the exception. Learn what it looks like. Seek out other expats that have been in-country longer than you have and talk, talk, talk... The average burn out rate for cross-cultural workers is one and a half to three years, and much of that is attributed to culture shock related issues. <br />
<br />
<b>6. Be gracious with yourself and others. </b>You are going to have a hard time. You will offend people. You will feel offended by others. You will get angry. You will probably want to go home at some point. You will see things in yourself and others that you will not like. You will learn about things you didn’t want to know existed. You will feel powerless. Remember that at the core, we are all human. Give yourself some grace. Then get up the next day and try again. <br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Career Development Practitioners (CDPs) understand that many
of the immigrants who come to Canada are highly skilled, educated, and ready to
work in their pre-immigration careers. In fact, some have been actively
recruited to come here as skilled workers in identified professions with skill
gaps (e.g., doctors), already having their credentials and education reviewed
by the federal immigration branch. Unfortunately, many internationally trained
professional (ITPs) experience multiple barriers to finding employment in the
provinces they settle in. Many aren’t able to get their credentials recognized
or obtain a mandatory license or certification to practice in a timely, cost-effective
manner. Additionally, networking, preparing job search materials, adapting to
the “Canadian” workplace, and obtaining relevant Canadian work experience can
all prove challenging.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">ITPs, global careerists, expatriates, repatriates, and other
immigrants often encounter employers seeking Canadian work experience as a job
requirement. The trouble is that, in order to get Canadian work experience,
someone, somewhere has to hire you . . . but many employers <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">won’t</i> hire you unless you have experience
working in Canada. Although some “survival jobs” in unrelated and entry-level
positions can provide experience, these positions hardly meet economic needs or
constitute the type of experience Canadian employers are looking for.
Exasperated ITPs ask: How can I get Canadian work experience without Canadian
work experience? Why does my pre-immigration experience count for nothing? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ThOudN4lqATDQAoHx1HaC6ds_mirFayfb5ihXC4yhYJg0RvoF_T48odDxxX7Cb_Qi3PiG8PCCcLC6WAuXHthlZRYLVYhwd8r_dH1IgGdDzTBMz16Ik08EIx_CUZruxQu0qoV65LqsJs/s1600/Where+in+the+World.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ThOudN4lqATDQAoHx1HaC6ds_mirFayfb5ihXC4yhYJg0RvoF_T48odDxxX7Cb_Qi3PiG8PCCcLC6WAuXHthlZRYLVYhwd8r_dH1IgGdDzTBMz16Ik08EIx_CUZruxQu0qoV65LqsJs/s400/Where+in+the+World.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Employers may be struggling to truly understand the working
world that immigrants come from. At the recent Career Development Conference
(CDC) held in Vancouver each March by the BC Career Development Association
(BCCCDA), Dr. Roberta Neault presented <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Where
in the World? Helping Employers Understand the World Immigrants Come From.</i> In
it, Roberta took the audience on a virtual world tour, sharing personal
experiences/photos and exploring case examples to illustrate how our traditional
perception of the countries immigrants come from can impede their successful
integration into the Canadian workforce and economy, or worse, tarnish their
view of Canada as a whole. Yes, there is poverty, poor working conditions, and
limited technology in many of the countries immigrants to Canada come from;
however, not only are there segments of Canada that experience these same
challenges, there are numerous examples of high-tech, cutting-edge work being
done abroad. We (i.e., employers, employees, policy makers, and CDPs) must
acknowledge and value the contributions ITPs and other immigrants can make in
order to grow our economy and address skills gaps that are looming.</span></div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<b>1. Warn family members. </b> Changes are coming; you’ll need to help your family understand how responsibilities and routines may shift. Reassure them of what will stay the same in the process. <div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>2. Abandon “mom guilt.”</b> Many mothers struggle with <div>
<div>
worry and guilt about the decision to work outside the home. Stop worrying what might happen or what others may think, consider your own priorities and make the best decision for your family.<br /></div>
<div>
<b>3. Find good childcare.</b> If you have small kids, leaving them with someone you don’t know can be one of the scariest things. Take time to find someone you trust and that your children will feel comfortable with. The cost of good childcare may be intimidating and may also impact your salary requirements, but the peace of mind is worth it.<br /></div>
<div>
<b>4. Visit a Career Development Practitioner (CDP).</b> If you’re starting a new career, some guidance <br />can be reassuring – find a professional who can assist you. A CDP can guide you in identifying your work values, interests, personal style, and skills; deciding on a desirable job or career path; and developing a suitable plan to achieve it.<br /></div>
<div>
<b>5. Ease your way in.</b> If you’re wondering how you’ll possibly find the time to work in your already full day, consider making a gradual transition back to full-time work - start with volunteering, working part-time, job sharing, or consulting work from home. <br /></div>
<div>
<b>6. Brush up on your skills and knowledge.</b> If you’re returning to the same field from which you left, identify what has changed and work to make sure your qualifications are up to date. If you’re looking for new work, consider taking courses or learning new skills and knowledge independently. <br /></div>
<div>
<b>7. Consider volunteering</b>. A great way to meet new people, learn new skills, and orient yourself to the industry you’re interested in working in is by volunteering. <br /></div>
<div>
<b>8. Conduct informational interviews. </b>Find companies you would like to work for and ask for an <br />informational interview with a supervisor or employee to help you decide on a suitable career path and type of work environment. <br /></div>
<div>
<b>9. Take time to find balance.</b> Balancing work and a family can feel like an insurmountable task but be sure to take care of yourself (e.g., eating right, exercising, and getting enough sleep). Take time to relax and enjoy your family and friends.<br /></div>
<div>
<b>10. Remember, every job is temporary.</b> Choose the best option that will work for you and your family now and in the future. If things don’t work out as planned, be flexible and make a new plan.<ul>

However,
keep in mind that although it’s great to say you want to eat better, spend more
time with family, or get that promotion, these statements are merely dreams
until concrete goals are set.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As you reflect on the resolutions you’ve made, or are considering
making, you may find the SMART goal formula a helpful framework. Ensuring your
resolutions are Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-limited
is a great way to secure your success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To set a SMART goal, ask yourself:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">1. What do I specifically want to achieve? Goals
need to be specific – something like, “I want to eat better” is too broad and
vague. Think about what “eating better” means to you, personally – is it simply
cutting out the fast food, trying a vegetarian diet, or going gluten free?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">2. How will I know when I’ve reached my goal? You
won’t know you’ve reached a goal unless you’ve got some way to measure it,
tracking your progress along the way.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3. Is this something that I can truly do? Goals
should be achievable. If there is a freeze on promotions within your
organization, then setting a goal to get a promotion may not be something you
can achieve, unless you’re considering moving to a different organization.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">4. Is this goal relevant to my work/life? If you’re
seeking to achieve something that isn’t relevant to you personally, then you’re
not likely to achieve it; it won’t hold your interest or be a priority if the
relevance isn’t there.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">5. When will I complete my goal? A timeframe for
goal attainment is absolutely necessary to ensure you’re able to set out a plan
to achieve your goal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After you’ve ensured your goal is SMART, break it down into
smaller, more manageable pieces, and structure an action plan connecting each
phase (or step). Not only does this make your goal seem less daunting, but it
also allows you to celebrate small successes along the way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Remember, setbacks are natural, so don’t punish yourself.
Get yourself back on track by staying flexible, revisiting and adjusting your
goal, and, if necessary, reaching out for support. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

In that time I've learned a lot about myself and what to do and not to do to support my career. Recently I had an article published by <a href="http://www.ceric.ca/" target="_blank">CERIC</a> in their new magazine "Careering" about <a href="http://contactpoint.ca/13604/" target="_blank">The Plight Of The Trailing Spouse</a>. In response I've composed 10 career development tips to help trailing spouses build successful careers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /><b>1. Get clear on your work values.</b> Understanding what is really important to you when it comes to why and how you work will make it easier to identify the right work opportunities. A career professional can administer a values test or you could get started with an <a href="https://careerinsite.alberta.ca/careerinsite/know-yourself.aspx" target="_blank">online self-assessment</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>2. Identify your motivated skills.</b> Although you may have a vast array of skills that have kept you adaptable and your career portable, satisfaction comes when you identify which skills you enjoy using the most (i.e., skills you are motivated to use). Visit these <a href="https://careerinsite.alberta.ca/careerinsite/know-yourself.aspx" target="_blank">online self-assessment</a> resources to get you started.<br /> <br /><b>3. Document your experience.</b> Things can easily get lost when you’re moving multiple times. Create a career portfolio – collect evidence of your experience, training, and skills (e.g., conference brochures, reference letters, certificates) and keep them organized in one place (e.g., a binder or portafile). This way you won’t have to search for things when you settle into your new city.<br /> <br /><b>4. Establish your presence online.</b> Although you’ve relocated to a new city, you don’t have to start over when it comes to your career. Platforms such as <a href="http://lifestrategies.ca/docs/10-Tips-to-Get-You-LinkedIn.pdf" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> allow you to build your professional portfolio virtually, creating a career that transcends borders.<br /> <br /><b>5. Maintain a master resume.</b> A resume that lists ALL your experience, training, and skills isn’t ideal for employers, but comes in handy when you’re creating a new targeted resume. As trailing spouses tend to have more jobs on their resume than someone who’s lived in just one or two cities, remembering all you’ve done can be difficult. A running log, or master resume, can make your next job application a little easier.<br /> <br /><b>6. Update your resume and portfolio often.</b> Things can change quickly when you’re a trailing spouse. One week you’re feeling like you’ve finally settled and the next you’re handing in your 2-weeks notice. Make a point to update your master resume, portfolio, and online presence frequently. Once you’ve completed something noteworthy, collect evidence, reference letters, and recommendations and add them right away, you might not get a chance to do it tomorrow - you might be busy packing.<br /> <br /><b>7. Stay connected with colleagues and references.</b> Don’t leave relationships behind just because you’ve moved; job references are essential no matter where you apply. Stay in contact with your colleagues and references by using social media or a periodic email/phone call. Consider asking your colleagues to recommend you on LinkedIn.<br /> <br /><b>8. Reflect on what success means.</b> Success for the average person looks different than success for someone who moves every couple of years. Stop trying to measure your ideals by the world’s standards. Consider the life you’ve chosen as a trailing spouse and define what success means to you.<br /> <br /><b>9. Continue learning.</b> Every experience is an opportunity to learn and there will be an abundance of new experiences when you arrive in a new city. Traditional educational programs can be tough when you’re on the move; therefore, consider online learning, webinars, and conferences instead. <b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>10. Consider a virtual career.</b> Consider the field you’ve chosen and look for opportunities to take your career completely virtual (i.e., 100% online). This way it doesn’t matter how often you move or where you land next—your work is just a click away. This is extremely helpful if you are unable to work locally where you’ve relocated due to visa restrictions or other reasons. </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i><br />

Upon arrival to their new workplace they may not see peers that resemble themselves age wise immediately. Working with their new team they may not feel the fit right away. Their peers may have some interesting pre-conceived notions about older workers that include lack of new skills or any “hip factor”. The fact of the matter is your new employer has hired you for a reason. Your employer believed in your ability to deliver on your skills, your experience as well as knowledge for this job. <br />

<h4>
Myths about Older Workers </h4>
We may have heard some interesting ideas about older workers. Things like “they are not technology savvy” or “older workers are not flexible”. The truth is older workers can be very up to date with technology; they are reliable, and bring a wealth of experience to the workplace. Older workers tend to have less sick days and tend to be more flexible with work schedules. <br />
<h4>
Team Fit </h4>
Some of the first things an older worker can do to fit into their team right away is to fully understand their role, the responsibilities, as well as expectations. Meet with your new manager and let them know about your strengths and discover what challenges may be present, as well as any initial priorities you will be required to deliver on. This is your roadmap to your success in this new career. When meeting with your peers or team, ask them what they feel the challenges have been for them working together on tasks. Initially you may want to avoid sharing too many stories of your past and overcoming similar issues. Instead work as a team to find the solutions together but do offer ideas or suggestions. <br />
<h4>
Culture Fit</h4>
Working in a diverse workplace means many things. This can be age diversity, cultural diversity, sexual orientation diversity, working with people who have disabilities, and single parents. There is a whole new workforce waiting to meet and work together so understanding the different groups that have come together in your new work environment is important. While it is natural to want to associate with peers that most closely resemble you, it is a good idea to also meet with different people at work. Get to know your younger colleagues and other people from diverse groups. <br />
<h4>
Life Long Learning </h4>
It is very important for everyone, not just older workers to maintain a philosophy and practice of life long learning. With our constantly changing workplaces, we need to keep up. Older workers need to stay current with computer skills and any other business skills they may use at work. Invest in yourself and take courses through work when possible as well as through resources you can find outside of work. <br />
<br />
Surviving your first few weeks on the job can be challenging but the important fact to remember is that your employer has faith in you to deliver a job well done, regardless of age. <br />

</o:OfficeDocumentSettings>
</xml><![endif]-->Career engagement is defined as the emotional and cognitive
connection to one’s career; it is a state where one is focused, energized, and
able to derive pleasure from life’s activities. Career engagement focuses on
the dynamic interaction between challenge (i.e., level of difficulty;
stimulating, fascinating, and invigorating activities) and capacity (i.e.,
skills, resources, relationships, conflicts). Too much challenge for the
available capacity and individuals move out of the zone of engagement towards
overwhelmed. Conversely, too little challenge moves individuals towards
underutilized. Without these two dimensions being in re-balanced individuals
can become completely disengaged. <br />

is intentional. The goal is to encourage you to consider your level of
engagement across the broad meaning of career (i.e., “the interaction of work
roles and other life roles over a person’s lifespan including both paid and
unpaid work”; European Lifelong Guidance Partnership Network, 2012). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my recent explorations into career engagement, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">work</i> was having the biggest impact on
whether or not individuals were able to be engaged. Take time to reflect on
your work role. Do you feel engaged? Overwhelmed? Underutilized? Using the
career engagement model, you can explore your level of engagement from the
challenge component by reflecting on whether your current role is too
difficult, or too easy; also consider whether you have opportunities to be
stimulated and fascinated by the work you are doing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In exploring your level of career engagement from the
capacity component, reflect on whether you have the resources necessary to meet
the challenges your job presents. Consider skills, knowledge/education, access
to equipment, sufficient budget, supportive colleagues and supervisors, as well
as supportive friends and family. Remember to look at your whole life, even
when focusing on your work role – sometimes your energy is being consumed by
challenges at home making work seem more difficult when, in reality, it is personal
challenges that are reducing your overall capacity. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your goal should be to balance challenge and capacity in
order to stay within the zone of engagement. If you’re feeling overwhelmed,
strive to either increase your level of capacity or reduce the level of
challenge. If you’re feeling underutilized, look for opportunities to increase
your level of challenge . . . reducing level of capacity is also an option but
likely much harder to do; after all, you can’t suddenly become less-skilled at
your job.</div>

regularly work within a fixed program/service mandate, typically stipulated by
the funding source. For many, such a mandate often defines a very specific
client group (e.g., immigrants). This approach tends to lump all clients from a
particular group into one category, forgetting that diversity is far more
complex.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: left;">
At Life Strategies, we strive to take a
broad definition of diversity, looking beyond visual clues (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity)
to include a multitude of other factors (e.g., sexual orientation, religion, educational
background, level of ability, communication style, speed of learning and
comprehension). Although we recognize that focusing on one element of diversity
can provide targeted initiatives to support the needs of specific groups, it is
equally important to ensure assumptions about individuals aren’t made due to
their inclusion in the broader group. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
For example, a client who is Aboriginal
may be impacted by challenges related to that group; however, perhaps the
client is also a woman, perhaps an older woman. In that instance, she can
likely also identify with challenges related to sexism and ageism. To further
complicate the matter, perhaps this particular client doesn’t identify with her
Aboriginal culture – perhaps she’s worked outside of Canada for the past 10
years and is just returning to the Canadian workforce. Consequently, a program
focussed on supporting Aboriginal clients may not fit her particular
circumstances. Perhaps something targeted to repatriates would be a better fit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
As the case above illustrates,
individuals are multifaceted; it would be easy to make assumptions about this
client if she was only considered as Aboriginal. CDPs can better serve their
clients if they recognize and appreciate a broader definition of diversity. We
recommend taking a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">culturally-curious</i>
approach; don’t assume what you know about a specific group applies to an
individual member of that group. Get to know your client; take time to listen
to his/her story.<o:p></o:p></div>

Katharine Hepburn once said, <i>“Death will be a great relief.
No more interviews.”</i> As an actress Hepburn was probably referring to interviews
about her work and life but, for many, this quote fits for the dreaded<b> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">job interview</i>.</b> <br />

by Horizon Group Properties or “If you could be a superhero, what power would
you possess?” asked by Rain and Hail Insurance. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In any interview it is important to be yourself; there’s a
saying in HR – “hire for skill and fire for fit.” Regardless of the question or
the format, the interviewer is trying to get a sense of whether or not you’ll “fit”
with the organization as well as whether or not you have the skills/expertise
to do the job. However, job interviews are also a perfect time for you to
interview the employer. It’s your chance to determine whether the job and
organization is a good fit for you. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To make your resume stand out from the crowd, don’t waste
your time on fancy paper or fonts. Instead, take the time to target your resume
to the specific job and organization you’re applying to. With only </span><a href="http://content.taonline.com/transition-guidance/resume-writing-resume-writing-tips-and-formats" style="mso-comment-date: 20121015T1435; mso-comment-reference: CS_1;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">20-30 seconds</span></a><span class="MsoCommentReference"><span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-special-character: comment;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">to
impress the employer, you’ve got to demonstrate your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">fit</i> fast. A targeted resume presents employers with content that
clearly showcases your skills, knowledge, and experience in relation to the
position; employers aren’t left “guessing.” </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To target your resume, first carefully review the job ad for
clues as to what knowledge, skills, and abilities the organization is looking
for. Identify any key words and, whenever possible, use those same terms in
your resume. Keywords play an important role in the pre-screening process. Often
only those resumes that successfully get past pre-screeners are reviewed by the
HR department and/or managers. If you have some gaps in qualifications, don’t
panic; gaps can be addressed in your targeted cover letter. Carefully consider
how you’ll overcome these gaps and highlight what other value you bring to the
position.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Don’t stop with qualifications. Investigate corporate
culture and target your resume here as well. A company’s website can give your
clues on the corporate culture. Take a look for a corporate mission statement
or articles on the organization’s charitable endeavours. If you can make a link
between your own values and the organization’s, you’ll be able to demonstrate a
good corporate fit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ultimately, you want to make it as easy as possible for the
organization to see your relevant qualifications and fit within the
organization. And always remember, a clean, concise, and error-free resume is a
must.

Mention you're thinking about e-counselling or coaching, whether as a client or as a professional, and you'll almost certainly get mixed reactions. Some people embrace the idea; others will tell you it can’t be done. Most fall somewhere between those extremes. We've chosen to co-author this article from a middle ground perspective; having experienced e-counselling/coaching as clients, professionals, students, and instructors, we see this in multiple shades of grey. <br />
<br />
Naysayers express concerns that effective counselling/coaching requires access to body language and tone of voice; however, working online doesn't preclude that. Effective e-counselling/coaching can happen via email, phone, Skype, e-chat, and even texting. Contextual cues can be provided through emoticons (e.g., “smileys”) or bracketed statements (e.g., [huge sigh . . . wow, that's so hard to think about]); this, of course, requires effective modelling and teaching/coaching your clients how to communicate in this medium. Professionals can explore missing details through questioning (e.g., “You’re writing hints that this may be a difficult subject to discuss; what are you feeling when you write about this?”) <br />
<br />
Even easier and more natural is to use technologies that effectively transmit video and voice (e.g., Skype with webcams). For example, once Roberta was using Skype to counsel a Canadian client working abroad in a remote community. At one point in their conversation, Roberta noticed her client reach for a Kleenex and wipe her eyes. Although Roberta had missed the emotion in her voice - she didn't sound particularly upset at that point - because of the webcam, she was able to observe and comment on the client’s body language, resulting in a very powerful counselling moment that helped the client turn a significant corner.<br />
<br />
Identifying the most appropriate technology for each client, and equipping the client to use it effectively, is another logistical challenge; in our experience, employing a mix of platforms works best. Being comfortable with the technology you choose is essential; you’ll need to troubleshoot when problems arise. For example, Miranda was working through Skype with someone overseas but the connection continually dropped the calls. They then moved to a Skype text chat to continue the momentum of the session. After a few calls they realized that the call connection was stronger at certain times of day and adjusted their schedules accordingly. Technology is simply the channel to reaching goals; if it isn’t working, try another channel. <br />
<br />
To become a competent e-counsellor or coach, we encourage you to access relevant professional development. When Roberta first began teaching online, she chose to take one online course to experience it from the students' perspective – she went on to complete three full certificate programs in e-teaching, e-course development, and e-coaching. When Miranda began to teach e-coaching, she volunteered as a client for several coaches - learning much in the process. <br />
<br />
Working online can expand your practice, offer a convenient alternative to some of your current clients, and help you and your clients balance complex life roles and demands. We encourage you to explore the potential for e-counselling and e-coaching and, if you decide to proceed, to engage in the research, professional development, and technologies that will ensure your new services are effective. <br />

Another September rolls around and the stories about a need for increased French Immersion in communities begins to hit the media. At the end of August I was asked for an interview with <a href="http://thelasource.com/en/about-us/the-newspaper/">La Source</a>, a French newspaper that focuses on diversity. The reporter had a passionate interest in French as a Second Language opportunities for young immigrants. We spoke about how the face of French Immersion in schools has changed over the past 25 years to reflect the ethnic diversity of the districts. <br /><br /><div>
As an outreach officer with <a href="http://www.cpf.bc.ca/">Canadian Parents for French</a> and a graduate of Immersion myself, occasionally I come across people with the belief that French Immersion is an “elitist” program, designed for “white, middle-class, English speaking children”. Dropping my elementary aged daughters off at their school, I am always happy to see just how much the face of French Immersion has changed since I was in school. Parents of all different backgrounds and ethnicities are enrolling their children in French Immersion. No longer do low income, learning challenged, or ESL student’s parents feel they have to self-select out of the benefits of second-language programming. As districts across Canada work to promote inclusiveness and accessibility to French as a Second (or subsequent) language, more and more immigrant families have the opportunity to take advantage of this education.<br /><br />Contrary to what some people imagine, learning a second or third language does not hinder the development of your mother tongue. Learning a second language has proven to have major academic benefits, and recent research has proven that it can actually have physical benefits as well on the development of the brain, greater learning ability especially with regards to language learning, and even delays the onset of dementia. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1982211725534103684#_edn1">[1]</a> Many new immigrants whose children are also learning English are finding that enrolling them in French Immersion actually helps their learning in both languages. This is largely due to the fact that all of the children in the class are learning a second language. The teacher relies heavily on visual cues, repetition, rephrasing, and hand gestures. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1982211725534103684#_edn2">[2]</a> All of the children are learning a new language, even the ones who were born here. Many immigrant families are reaping the benefits of learning a second language already, as they study to learn English, and yet increased amounts of new Canadians are also choosing to have their children learn French. <br /><br />People choose to move to Canada for a variety of reasons, but one common theme amongst people who have chosen Canada as their place to live, is a sense of pride in being Canadian. In fact 12% more new immigrants have a desire to learn French than Canadian born Anglophones, and when surveyed many feel that learning French is a part of being Canadian. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1982211725534103684#_edn3">[3]</a> When they put their children in Immersion it is a way for them to learn about Canadian culture and participate in another of Canada’s official languages. <br /><br />Many immigrant parents in Canada view multilingualism as a regular part of life and understand that knowing many languages is an important part in accessing today’s job market. Currently 60% of parents who enroll their children in second language programs do so for increased job opportunities in the future. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1982211725534103684#_edn4">[4]</a> Just having a second language may not be enough -- 84% of employers view English/French specific bilingualism as an advantage to job seekers. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1982211725534103684#_edn5">[5]</a> In an increasingly diverse country, having English, French, and an additional language is a significant advantage to access government and crown corporation jobs where French is considered an asset. In Canada's multicultural environment, many communities have strong representation from languages other than English and French. In an increasingly competitive job market, immigrant families are giving their children an advantage by teaching them the value of true multiculturalism through the gift of multilingualism. <br /><br />End Notes: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1982211725534103684#_ednref1">[1]</a> <a href="http://www.noslangues-ourlanguages.gc.ca/collaborateurs-contributors/articles/immigrant-frnc-eng.html">http://www.noslangues-ourlanguages.gc.ca/collaborateurs-contributors/articles/immigrant-frnc-eng.html</a> <br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1982211725534103684#_ednref2">[2]</a> <a href="http://www.ccl-cca.ca/pdfs/LessonsInLearning/May-17-07-French-immersion.pdf">http://www.ccl-cca.ca/pdfs/LessonsInLearning/May-17-07-French-immersion.pdf</a> <br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1982211725534103684#_ednref3">[3]</a> <a href="http://www.ccl-cca.ca/pdfs/LessonsInLearning/Oct-16-08-The-advantages-of-bilingualism.pdf">http://www.ccl-cca.ca/pdfs/LessonsInLearning/Oct-16-08-The-advantages-of-bilingualism.pdf</a> <br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1982211725534103684#_ednref4">[4]</a> <a href="http://www.ccl-cca.ca/pdfs/LessonsInLearning/Oct-16-08-The-advantages-of-bilingualism.pdf">http://www.ccl-cca.ca/pdfs/LessonsInLearning/Oct-16-08-The-advantages-of-bilingualism.pdf</a> <br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1982211725534103684#_ednref5">[5]</a> <a href="http://www.ccl-cca.ca/pdfs/LessonsInLearning/Oct-16-08-The-advantages-of-bilingualism.pdf">http://www.ccl-cca.ca/pdfs/LessonsInLearning/Oct-16-08-The-advantages-of-bilingualism.pdf</a>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO4bVQcKKYlaco3AxURvWkAsvxrvZRx3VeC9FKATC1OrWGpUCJBhAJ4Z0vQWu0yYiWGQZB0Qu6p1mLLuRhRH-Q2lCIGul5USuzB_52rZdi3ZzMgl7UEDi43VH4ediLSm78DAhri0kHD44/s1600/2012+09+05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO4bVQcKKYlaco3AxURvWkAsvxrvZRx3VeC9FKATC1OrWGpUCJBhAJ4Z0vQWu0yYiWGQZB0Qu6p1mLLuRhRH-Q2lCIGul5USuzB_52rZdi3ZzMgl7UEDi43VH4ediLSm78DAhri0kHD44/s320/2012+09+05.jpg" width="228" /></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">With so many virtual technologies available, it’s no wonder
many academic institutions, corporations, and associations are turning to online
methods for connecting with dispersed learners, staff, colleagues, peers, and
clients. However, not all technology is created equal and not everyone can
effectively select and integrate virtual technologies with everyday tasks.
Furthermore, not everyone has the technical knowledge and skill to navigate
online collaboration tools or the motivation to learn about new ways of
connecting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So how do you successfully integrate new virtual facilitation
technologies within in your group? How can you account for varying levels of
knowledge, skill, and comfort using technology? Here are some quick tips to
keep in mind.</span></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Find the Right Technology for You.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Your virtual solution(s)<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>should be tied to a specific identified
problem or need and also to your audience’s technology comfort and skill level.
Although you might be really excited by the prospect of setting up a fully
functional interactive site (e.g., <a href="http://moodle.org/">Moodle</a>, </span><a href="http://www.blackboard.com/" style="mso-comment-date: 20120905T1016; mso-comment-reference: CS_2;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Blackboard</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">)
for staying connected and sharing resources, this may not be the best fit if
staff can’t get online or would rather quickly send an instance message (e.g., </span><a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-live/essentials-home" style="mso-comment-date: 20120905T1016; mso-comment-reference: CS_3;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">MSN messenger</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">)
or make a </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><a href="http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/home">Skype</a>
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">call.
Not sure what’s available or how to decide what you need? Check out the </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Web
Conferencing Store’s </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><a href="http://webconferencingstore.com/web-conferencing-decision-tree/">decisiontree</a>.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Determine Feasibility. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Your tech department will be a vital
resource to assessing the feasibility of integrating your new technology. They
may have thoughts about the options you’ve identified or recommendations about other
technologies you may not have considered. Ensure you ask about virus protection
and firewall blockages; nothing will frustrate your team more than their local
computer “refusing” to download a client software needed to attend a meeting. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Test it Out. </span></strong><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Consider integrating a simple, relatively
inexpensive solution with a small team or division first and then evaluating
impact. Many technologies have 30-day free trials allowing you to test features.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Have an Implementation Plan. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once you find the
right technology for your group, ensure you have a plan for smooth integration.
Provide an orientation or video resource demonstrating how to download any
necessary client software, open an account / log into the system, and use the
basic features. To help ensure success, find an onsite “champion” for each
division or sub-group who can help individuals who might be struggling. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Remember: Avoid Complicating Things. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Adhere to the old adage, “if it
ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” If your team is connecting effectively through
traditional means, investing in technology solutions, simply for technology’s
sake may not be the best strategy; it can waste of resources and cause
unnecessary frustration. .<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="A16"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">As summer 2012 comes to an end, we are bombarded with
back to school messages. This year, <a href="http://www.cp24.com/news/canadians-to-spend-13-per-cent-more-on-back-to-school-shopping-this-year-survey-suggests-1.921280" target="_blank">Canadian shoppers are expected to spend 13%more than they did last year</a> on everything from pencils and erasers to laptop

school. Adults are also headed back to the classroom; <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/17/back-to-school-adult-education-student-loans_n_1773801.html" target="_blank">an upward trend </a>expected

certificate, diploma, or degree – can be as stressful as that first day of
Kindergarten. A lot may have changed since the last time they were in a
classroom and learning while juggling work and family responsibilities can add
to already busy and stress-filled lives. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.lifestrategies.ca/docs/10-Tips-to-Fit-Professional-Development-Into-a-Busy-Life.pdf" target="_blank">10Tips to Fit Professional Development Into a Busy Life</a> </i>offers some

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="A16"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">As you think about your learning goals for this fall,
an important first step may be learning about how you learn. Your learning
style may impact the type of educational choices you make (e.g., as a solitary
learner a busy classroom may not be the best choice). Uncertain of your
learning style?<a href="http://www.learning-styles-online.com/overview/" target="_blank"> Learning Styles Online</a> offers a great, and brief, summary of

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="A16"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Keep in mind that learning doesn’t have to involve a
return to formal education or the completion of a degree program. Reading a
book, listening to a recorded lecture, or attending a webinar are great ways to
start, or re-start, your professional development journey. </span></span></div>
