ICAR Career Intensives
PURPOSE We want to help ICAR students get the job they’re looking for. So we are offering an intensive career training process that is specifically tailored to ICAR students’ fields of interest. This career intensive process will help ICAR students articulate how the conflict resolution field is applicable to various fields and careers, e.g. development, security, policy, etc. and prepare them for the resume, application, and interview process.
REGISTRATION We ask that ICAR students register in advance for one or more all-day career intensives. Intensives will be pre-scheduled, space intermittently throughout the school year. Each intensive will feature only one career track. Registration will be limited to ten students per intensive. This will allow for a more intimate interaction with our featured career professionals.
ACTIVITIES
BEFORE the all-day career intensive, ICAR students will receive a sample resume template that reflects the resume most frequently used by professionals and applicants in that career track. ICAR students then draft or revise their own resume to mirror this template. ICAR students will then work with ICAR staff to ensure that the resumes are appropriately edited before the all-day career intensive begins.
DURING the all-day career intensive:
• Morning session, ICAR students work with ICAR staff in mock interviews, exercises and scenarios that will offer students an opportunity to articulate how their conflict resolution training is relevant to the field/career.
• Afternoon session, 2-3 professionals from the specific field/career will share about their work, the opportunities for ICAR students to engage in the field, how ICAR students should market themselves to professionals in the field, etc. At the end of the afternoon session, ICAR students will have an opportunity to engage in a Q&A with the professionals.
Spring 2009 Career Intensive Schedule TBA
