Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
Years ago, I had an excellent manager who would constantly remind me that in recruitment, relationships were our currency. The same can be said about many other job functions, especially in Education. I often get questions from JobSeekers and clients who struggle with writing about their “non-quantifiable” skills and experiences on their resume. Though building strong relationships may feel like something you just DO, there’s often a strategy you’re employing without even realizing.
- Perhaps you implemented a back and forth journal writing practice in your class which built trust between you and your students AND helped them with their writing skills (as evidenced on assessments)
- Maybe you set and met a rigorous goal for # of parent/guardian meetings for each six week cycle and used a variety of innovative communication methods to ensure successful outreach
- You’re a team leader who has retained 100% of staff this year because you prioritized coaching and advanced your team through one-on-one weekly check-ins, ongoing professional development and creating a strong culture of feedback.
None of this just HAPPENS - you’re leveraging different tools to connect, engage and invest stakeholders. So instead of writing that you “build strong relationships with students to achieve strong results,” share the specific strategies you use to build strong relationships and the outcomes you see in your work as a result.
