Job Search Work Team (JSWT) - Back by Popular Demand

We're starting back up the job search work team (JSWT) because so many people said it helped them to find their ideal job quickly. This time we're going to use a new teaching technique called MOOC. A massive open online course (MOOC) is a model for delivering learning content online to any person who wants to take a course, with no limit on attendance. 

This is a free course, but you have to buy/download the recommended book to follow along. We'll make recordings available to walk you through the course material. And since it's a team effort, we'll use modern technology to share notes, comments, feedback and leads on job opportunities.

Join our JSWT today!!

Date: Tuesdays, starting February 16, 2016

Time: 8:00 pm Central, 9:00 Eastern

Dial-in Number: by invitation only

Cost: Free


You are invited to attend the Job Work Search Team. Weekly status reports are due by Tuesdays, at 8 pm central. Using online collaboration tools, we discuss each other's job search experiences and plans, answer each other's questions and give each other encouragement. We can exchange information about employers and the experiences we have had with job fairs, conventions, trade shows and interviews. Feel free to discuss what you have accomplished on your job search during the previous week and your goals for the upcoming week.

Coursera - Learning How to Learn

 

Take the world’s best courses, online.

“Imagine if we could teach so that 98% of our students would be above average.” Daphne Koller from Stanford University.

I heard this quote for Dr. Koller in a video (http://open.sina.com.cn/course/id_541/) about Coursera (https://www.coursera.org), a free online learning platform. What phenomenal is that I got the link from a young lady in China who is taking the same course I’m taking, Learning How to Learn (https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn/).  We’re taking it with over 400,000 other students. The same platform is used to offer other free courses from top universities around the country. I learned about this new course because I took another great course of this platform, Positive Psychology. https://www.coursera.org/learn/positive-psychology that has changed my life forever.

The moral to this story is simple. Hundreds of thousands of students from all around the world are getting .access to the courses that students in the USA only get by attending top universities; and they are forming learning communities and study groups along the way. And you can get in on a mobile app too. This is the future of education staring us in the face today!

Is there something you want to learn? Check out Coursera and while you’re at it, check out edX (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EdX) too. edX is another massive open online course (MOOC) provider where I took another course, The Science of Happiness (https://www.edx.org/course/science-happiness-uc-berkeleyx-gg101x-2), another great course that comes highly recommended.

Don’t put so much energy into achieving your goals that you forget to have fun where you are now. Remember, life is not a destination, it is a journey; it is learning from and enjoying all the experiences along the way! Empowering Yourself by Harvey Coleman(http://www.blacksgonegeek.org/publications/p-i-e)
