Thank you, Nora. That was very encouraging.

43:43
Thank you LJ

46:07
That’s so helpful. Thanks, Sammy!

46:25
Thanks for sharing that, Sammy. I didn't realize it was ok or allowed to look for opportunities on our own...

47:32
I’m not sure about your specific program Krista, but for the MSW - Edmonton cohort, the Coordinators provided a specific form for students who have found their practicum supervisor/setting.

Hi. This is Vesna. I have a BSW from the U of C in 2009. On the topic of networking, I would like to suggest that networking is on going and a professional skill. I stay connected to my alumni association and also I am actively involved with the ACSW. Also there will be new networking opportunities through the ACSW and their shift to forming a new association. Good luck everyone.

49:01
Thank you, LJ. I will keep that in mind. I'm a BSW student currently, thinking of MSW. This has opened my eyes about being more proactive. Thanks to you & Sammy.

There is someone (whose name I can’t remember) with the Faculty of SW, UofC, who will review your resume and help you improve it. Maybe someone else has their contact info.

51:55
We used to recommend Meet Up as well as a networking option. You can find meet up groups for all interests - great way to meet a broad range of people where you live.

51:58
Thanks a lot Nora :)

Mohanned, although I have yet to utilize LinkedIn, you can see agencies you are interested in and just send specific people who work there a message to see if they are willing to connect and guide you. Most people are willing to connect online (and people love to talk about themselves)

52:34
Great to see ideas exchanged in the chat

53:18
Oooh great point. Check to see if there are any alumni from your US degree here as well!

54:31
AHS also offers shadowing. Here’s the job shadow request form: https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/frm-19671.pdf and info https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/careers/page12347.aspx

54:47
Yes you can also see what people who have similar degrees to you are currently working at through LinkedIn

55:04
Wow!!! That's interesting Sammy!! I will get my resume out of the 1 page template!! Thanks a lot

55:04
Those are fantastic tips! Thanks Sammy!

55:11
Thank you LJ

55:12
Great tips, Sammy & Nora.

55:16
Great tips Rida - you sound like a career coach!

55:21
My thinking is that we also need to keep connected with fellow students, alumni especially those who have worked here before.

56:23
My question was answered, but I am doing my final practicum and just thinking about transitioning to a professional role, what are some of the things that I need to be thinking about you know in terms of preparing myself for a professional role?

56:44
Shadowing sounds like a fabulous opportunity

57:08
Thanks, Kamala, I am glad to hear your question was answered

57:13
Sammy. A too long resume will get you screened out. the career page at AHS can provide more details. The standard is two pages unless otherwise requested.

57:28
Kamal - sorry to misspell your name

57:36
Thanks Julie, no where near a coach but sharing what I know
