BTH CareerWeek offers out students professional feedback on their CVs, lectures on how to write a CV and an application letter, workshops in body language and interview training, and a unique possibility to meet with representatives from the industry and public sector. This semesters events were very successful. The students came in masses to listen and talk to people from Ericsson, Telecom City, The Employment Agency, and Blekinge Business Incubator.

Mycket bra! Pedagogiskt. Bra förklarat hur man ska lägga upp sin egen studieteknik.

Man blev väldigt peppad!

Föreläsaren var rolig och väldigt kunnig inom området!

Vi tackar Björn Liljeqvist för hans lysande insats. Den här workshopen kommer att vara ett återkommande inslag på BTH StudyLab så alla de studenter som missade Björns session är välkomna nästa termin.

To cite sources can be a tricky thing, especially web based sources. The MLA Handbook does not at the moment have any information on how to handle YouTube Clips, but the following example can be found in  Diana Hacker’s A Writers Reference: Murphy, Beth.  “Tips for a Good Profile Piece.”  Project:  Report.  YouTube, 7 Sept. 2008.  Web.  19 Sept. 2008

The following links discusses how to cite e-books and clips:

At Oregon State University and their Writing Intensive Curriculum Program you can find an excellent guide on how writers (researchers, teachers, and students) can work to revise their texts themselves and spot grammatical errors and correct them. http://wic.oregonstate.edu/survivalguide/eliminating_errors.html

Swedish universities and university colleges have formed a network to exchange ideas and experiences concerning career matters for our students and their future professional life. This year Linköping hosted the annual meeting and BTH CareerCenter was there to participate and find out about successful practices to how we can help and support students in their future careers. Inspired by this meeting BTH CareerCenter now discuss how we can best be organized in order to reach out to the students, what webbased career tools we should implement, and how a work practice with a tutor should be structured and implemented? Exciting and challenging topics!!

Stämningen i Globen var på topp, spännande seminarium, och möjligheter till intervjuträning och samtal med karriärcoacher erbjöds. BTH CareerCenter knöt nya kontakter och samlade bra tips och goda idéer för att vi ska kunna hjälpa våra studenter att bli ännu mer attraktiva och slagkraftiga på arbetsmarknaden.

BTH CareerCentre met potential employers for BTH students during two inspiring and dynamic days at Globen in Stockholm. The Careerdays were sponsored by CareerBuilder, Poolia and The Swedish Association of Graduate Engineers, and companies like VOLVO, ABB, Telenor, Vectura, Oracle Svenska AB, DHL, Huawei Technologies Sweden AB, Siemens and many more were represented. The atmosphere was perfect, with interesting seminars and possibilities for interview training and meetings with career coaches being offered. BTH CareerCenter made new connections and gathered tips and good ideas to help our students to become even more attractive and competitive on the labor market.

At the beginning of a term when you are not yet busy with course work and examinations, it is an excellent idea to explore the library. At the library you’ll find all the books and journals that you can imagine in your field, and there are many skilled and helpful librarians who can guide you around within the book treasure. To read is the basis of your studies, or as the Swedish Queen Kristina once said “You must read to learn, improve and find comfort.”
