Chapter 17: Job Search and Career Management Skills

Unit Lesson

Chapter 16 discusses stress (specifically, its symptoms and consequences), personality factors and job
factors, attitudes and values, work habits and skills, and timewasters. In the textbook, stress is identified as
an adaptive response or reaction that is the result of any deed, circumstances, or occurrence (stressors) that
places distinct burdens on a person. A stressor is “an external or internal force that brings about the stress”
(DuBrin, 2015, p. 379). Examples are social stress, work stress, financial stress, family stress, and health
stress. “Individual differences in the perception of an event play a key role in determining what events are
stressful” (DuBrin, 2015, p. 379).

Title

Symptoms and Consequences of Stress

Stress can be good or bad depending upon an individual’s perception and reaction to the event or stressor.
There are three different types of physiological changes associated with stress, including physiological
reactions, job performance consequences, and burnout stress. The readings identify individual specifics for
each. Stress can come in many different forms, so begin with identifying the cause of stress. The symptoms
of stress can fall into two categories: physical or physiological and emotional or behavioral. You can view
ways to identify with some of the specific symptoms of stress in the textbook readings.

Also, the textbook reading identifies some steps that can assist in not allowing stressful situations to get the
best of you. There are ways to deal with stress such as taking deep breathes, stepping away from the
situation, and remaining calm, among others; however, you can identify some additional ways to deal with
stress in the work environment from the chapter reading.

Stress in the work environment plays a crucial role in the success of an organization. Of course, there is no
such thing as a stress-free work environment, but the stress levels can be minimized and managed.
Organizations can offer breaks as needed such as time-off, counseling, and training as part of a strategy to
help individuals handle stress in a healthy way. Some organizations have adopted the following methods in
dealing with stress in the work environment:

1. team exercises or engagement (morale boosters),
2. competitions between departments (e.g., plant growing competitions and cook-offs),
3. health incentives (wellness programs), and
4. medical assistance onsite (counselors).

Regardless of the methods and approaches adopted to address stress in the work environment, you must
emphasize zero tolerance of a hostile or harassing working environment. As the employer, your responsibility
is to create and maintain a positive learning and working environment, and this means reducing the levels of
stress within the workforce.

Chapter 17 discusses conducting a job search, writing a cover letter and a resume, preparing for interviews,
and enhancing career strategies or tactics. A job search is conducted to find employment via the various
avenues. Some examples are job search websites, bulletins, newspapers, word of mouth, business
publications, and job boards. These are examples of job search websites:

1. Aol Jobs
2. CareerBuilder
3. CareerOneStop
4. Glassdoor
5. Indeed
6. Ladders
7. LinkedIn
8. Monster
9. SimplyHired

10. USAJOBS

As you identify various job hunting tactics, begin developing your resume and cover letter according to the
identified suggestions. The material used for both includes your professional and educational experiences
and any other extra-curricular efforts. In preparing the resume, you want to begin with identifying the specifics
of the particular position of interest. The job announcement and job description are two helpful tools in
successfully developing your resume for a specific position. By identifying elements of the job duties outlined
in these two documents, you are able to identify the specific knowledge, skills, and abilities required. For
example, if you are applying for an accounting position, you know to use industry specific terminology, jargon,
and other trigger words associated with the position. This helps during the computer selection process. The
computer selection process is when the organization uses an application tracking system (ATS) to pre-screen
the applications, cover letters, and resumes. Here are some useful basic trigger words when creating a
resume and cover letter:

Think of what you have done in completing tasks or jobs that may relate to the duties of the position you
desire. In order to identify some industry specific terminology, jargon, acronyms, and, other information, you
can refer to the Bureau of Labor Statistics web page on the U.S. Department of Labor website: www.bls.gov

Steps to access the information:

1. Log on to the website: www.bls.gov
2. Stroll down to the middle of the page where it says “Career Information.”
3. Click the “Occupational Outlook Handbook” option.
4. Under “Occupational Groups” click the occupational field of your choice.
5. Select the desired “Occupation.”
6. Review the following information for the occupation of your choice: (1) Summary, (2) What They Do,

(3) Work Environment, (4) How to Become One, (5) Pay, (6) Job Outlook, (7) State & Area Data, (8)
Similar Occupations, and (9) More Information.

Once you get into the site, you can identify specific industry and job related information for multiple job fields
via the Occupational Outlook Handbook. This site and information can be used in preparing for the job search
process and career management development.

The Interview

Once you have completed the resume and cover letter, prepare yourself for the interview. The interview is
where you are selected to demonstrate and articulate your knowledge, skills, and abilities in performing the
identified duties and responsibilities for the position desired. Of course, this can occur in different venues such
as a phone interview, one-on-one and face-to-face, Internet, group, panel, forum, structured, unstructured,
and behavioral. Once you identify how your interview will be conducted, you can prepare accordingly. Your
preparation can consist of mock interviews, video recording, voice recording, or mirror check. These are great
options in critiquing your performance overall and identifying more effective communications, both verbal and
nonverbal.

In addition, to better prepare for the interview, you may want to consider the following options:

1. confirm the interview time,
2. confirm the interview location (visit prior to confirm proper arrival and parking location),
3. confirm who will be conducting the interview, and
4. provide the required documentation (i.e., resume, cover letter, references, and letters of

recommendation) (Doyle, 2016a).

Professional Image

As your verbal and non-verbal communications play a role in developing your professional image. You must
keep in mind your appearance as well. Your professional attire can vary according to your environment. It is
better to be fully prepared than underprepared. In determining your attire, remember the following basics:

1. conservative colors such as black, navy, or grey;
2. conservative dress (e.g., a suit for men of identified colors and pant- or dress-suit for women of

identified colors);
3. white or pastel color dress shirt with no designs or loud colors;
4. matching socks with matching belt and shoes (men);
5. matching hosiery or nude in color (skin tone) with matching shoes and appropriate heel height

(women);
6. modest makeup (women) and jewelry (women & men);
7. clean nails and overall appearance; and
8. neat and presentable hair (Doyle, 2016b).

So, as you prepare, keep in mind that your overall professional image consists of your professional dress,
professional attitude, and professional verbal and non-verbal communication efforts.
