ARTICULATING YOUR EXPERIENCE
As you begin to expand your experiences with new involvement and job opportunities, we hope this resource guides you to craft your story about your time in RecSports. By reflecting upon questions and competencies gained as a RecSports employee, you should be able to highlight your scope, skills, and scenarios in which you were engaged with RecSports.
CAREER COMPETENCIES
The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) (n.d.) defines career readiness as “the attainment and demonstration of requisite competencies that broadly prepare college graduates for a successful transition into the workplace.” NACE also identified eight competencies associated with career readiness, and each of their definitions are below. We encourage you to use these competencies as a framework for how you tell your story about your experience in RecSports.
Remember, you’ve gained several transferable skills in your experiences as a RecSports employee. Take some time to reflect upon how your experiences align with any future job descriptions, then tailor your resume, cover letter, and interview responses to bridge your RecSports experience to wherever you’re applying to next.
