Learning from the Past [CLO: 5]. 1st Post Due by Day 3.Prepare: Many students list launching a new career or career enhancement as one of their motivations for returning to school. A successful job search involves planning and persistence. Let’s jump start that journey by exploring some resources available to assist with career planning.

Watch the videos Building your career pathway and Discover career services at Ashford University, or review the transcripts. Career development plans provide a logical and multiphase approach to achieving career goals so you yield a high return on your learning investment. Building a career pathway does not occur by chance; it occurs when you intentionally and systematically develop your options. Ashford’s Career Servicesdepartment can assist you in finding resources and tools to search for jobs, plan your career, and achieve your greatest career potential.

Reflect: One of the best ways to decide about your future career path is to look at your past experiences. For this discussion, think about your work history up through your most current job or your most recent position. For the purposes of this discussion, work history can also include volunteer work or managing your home or family responsibilities full-time.

Write: Pick one position you’ve held and address the following: 

List the title and briefly describe the job. For example, “I have worked as a Special Education Instructional Aide at an elementary school from 2008 to now. As a 1-on-1 Instructional Aide, I provide personalized attention to the student and help them with social and academic skill development.” 

2. Describe at least three tasks or responsibilities required for the job that you most enjoyed and explain why they were enjoyable. Decode the tasks or responsibilities that you listed and note which Learning Patterns were required to successfully complete them.
3. Describe at least three tasks and responsibilities required for the job that you least enjoyed and explain why they were the least enjoyable. Decode the tasks or responsibilities that you listed and note which Learning Patterns were required to successfully complete them.
4. Knowing what you know now about your Learning Patterns, was (or is) this job a good match for your Patterns? Why or why not? Please list your Learning Patterns to provide context for your analysis.

Your initial post should contain a minimum of 250 words.

Respond to Peers: Review your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers. Did anything surprise you about your classmate’s description? Assess the responsibilities your peer listed and the Learning Patterns associated. Do you agree with their assessment? Would you be a good match for this job? Each response should be a minimum of 50 words. 

Think about it this way…
