Internet and Email Proficiency

Steem greeting fellow steemians. It seem I'm poised to have a very fulfilling week. Today, I had the pleasure of conducting a session with my undergraduate mentees focused on enhanc-ing their internet and email proficiency, crucial skills for any job seeker. The goal was to arm them with the tools and knowledge needed to efficiently navigate the digital landscape and maximize their job search efforts. I

We began by exploring various search engines, emphasizing the importance of not relying solely on one. Each search engine, like Google, Bing, or Yahoo, has unique algorithms and can yield different results. This diversity in search results is essential for comprehensive re-search. I explained the concept of Search Engine Results Pages (SERP) and demonstrated how to analyze these pages to find the most relevant information.

Next, we discussed the power of hyperlinks and how they can be used to trace reliable sources and gather detailed information. I highlighted the necessity of critically evaluating the credibility of the linked content. Please don't tell anyone but I don't really master this one about hyperlinks, I'll get back to it subsequently

It wouldn't be a worthwhile presentation if I didn't introduce them to online portfolios so i did. Building an online portfolio was another significant topic. We explored platforms like Behance, Weebly, and Wix, which allow users to create professional portfolios showcasing their skills and work. A strong online portfolio is a powerful tool that can set candidates apart in a crowded job market.

The session also covered online job and freelancing opportunities. Websites such as Upwork and Freelancer offer numerous gigs that can provide valuable experience and income while searching for permanent positions.

Lastly, we delved into the use of job boards like Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor. I demon-strated how to set up job alerts, customize search filters, and optimize profiles to attract po-tential employers.

I really hope they'll take our session today seriously because as I read today, When someone puts in the effort to advise you without any possible gains, know that they are just talking to themselves in the past; telling you the things they wish they were told.
