Identify the person you are going to interview by title and provide a brief description of this person’s duties and/or role in the agency or organization.

Human service providers must develop networking skills so that they can effectively select and access additional, specialized services for their clients. Networking involves researching services and providers in the area and developing an understanding of the kind of assistance offered by them. This assignment is designed to give you the ability to gather information in a systematic manner, particularly for those agencies of the most interest to you.

In M1: Assignment 3, you created an information bank of community resources for at-risk populations. Now, you will select one of the agencies or organizations from this list to use for your course project which you will submit in Module 5.

Choose an agency or organization from your information bank of community resources that interests you and provides the best chance of completing your course project. Before making a final decision, telephone the agency to confirm that they are agreeable to you using them for your course project.

Make a telephone or in-person appointment with an individual in the agency to learn more about the agency services, staff, and population it servers. Try to make this appointment before the end of Module 3 so that you have enough time to complete this project.

Based on your research, do the following:

Prepare a description of the agency, the population it serves, and the services it provides.
Identify the person you are going to interview by title and provide a brief description of this person’s duties and/or role in the agency or organization.
Create a list of at least ten interview questions to use when interviewing this person for your course project. Include questions to solicit information about the agency, staff, services, and population served. Here are some pointers to keep in mind:
Use complete sentences and work to make most of your questions open-ended (rather than yes/no questions) so that you are able to solicit sufficient information to understand the agency and the population it serves.
Do not use these questions to solicit information (for example, the location of the agency) that you can find elsewhere, for example on their Web site. Rather, design questions to help you gain an “insider” or expert view of the agency and the population(s) it serves.
Remember to include some interview “opener” questions or statements to help establish rapport.

Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. All interview questions should be written in your own words, with credit given to any sources. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.doc.

By Wednesday, January 20, 2016, deliver your assignment to the M2: Assignment 2 Dropbox.

Note:

Remember to make your interview appointment with a resource working at your chosen agency before the end of Module 3 so that you have enough time to compile information for your course project due in Module 5.

Identify your strengths. It may sound obvious, but what you know and what you can do are the foundation of your PVP. Hone in on what those are.

value proposition, key words, mission statement

 

In building your own brand you want to answer the following:

 

1.     Why would an employer want your skills?

2.     What problems can you solve?

3.     What value can you add to an organization?

 

When your brand is clear to you then you can market and communicate your message to prospective employers with confidence.

So how do you go about building your brand?

  1. Create a Value proposition. This is a statement that summarizes the value you will add to an organization. 
  2. Develop a mission statement. 
  3. Come up with a list of keywords . Write down some adjectives that will describe how you want the user to perceive your site and you.

Develop a Value Proposition which isis a series of statements that define a job seeker’s value.  It explains what makes you the job seeker unique (including skills, strengths, and accomplishments), and how you will add value to a company.

You can use your value proposition throughout a job search. Use it to define how you are different from the competition.

 

Set a clear target. The PVP begins with a target, one that needs what you have to offer. You’ll prefer some directions, not others. Targeting will make you most effective.

Identify your strengths. It may sound obvious, but what you know and what you can do are the foundation of your PVP. Hone in on what those are.

Tie your strengths to your target position. Don’t leave it up to the employer to figure out how your strengths relate to what she needs. Let your PVP tightly connect you to the position. Connect the dots for her. Consider her perspective and know why she should hire you or promote you.

Provide evidence and success stories. Your strengths may be what an employer is “buying,” but your achievements are the evidence you have those strengths. They make your case convincing. Some people prepare a non-confidential portfolio to showcase that evidence in a vivid way. They collect reports they wrote that had impact. They pull together facts on measurable achievements such as sales growth or cost reduction.
