Congratulations are due to the following students who most recently completed one or more of the California State Approved Certificates. These students, together with those students listed under our Student Success Center, deserve a round of applause for their successes.
Achieving a State Approved Certificate is no easy or quick task. These certificates require students to complete multiple courses. This process takes time, commitment, perseverence and the ability to set and achieve goals.
Every professional person should have an elevator speech (a quick summary of your skills and qualifications). This speech should be used when introducing yourself professionally or when people ask you what kind of work you do.
Following are some samples for elevator speeches I got from searching the internet:-
IT service Technician
I have 3 years experience in IT support with average technical expertise. As a determined professional it would be pleasure to mobilize my creativity and technicality to a potential employer.
Financial Advisor
I’m financial advisor with 3 years of experience. I enjoy meeting people and explaining how I can help them organize their personal finances — saving money, saving taxes and achieving financial security.
Marketing Generalist
The pitch: “I like to shine from behind the scenes. I am an office support professional with experience managing Marketing Programs and Initiatives for the manufactured consumer products industry. Being the people person that I am, I enjoy being hands-on in getting to know what the customer wants/needs and then working within company guidelines to make it happen. If you have the time, I’d be thrilled to share more about my background.”
Business Development Executive
I’m a business development executive with experience in management, team leadership, and territory expansion. I have a proven ability to generate revenue and I’m a terrific talent manager. If you have the time, I’d be thrilled to share more about my background.
Product Manager
I have over 10 years of product management experience delivering comprehensive web-based business management systems and high quality web-based products. I’d be thrilled to provide details on the projects I’ve worked on, if you’d like the details.
Sales Recruiter
I’m a high caliber recruiter with ten years of experience recruiting for all levels of sales reps and sales and marketing management professionals. I’m seeking an opportunity to leverage that experience to help a company succeed in providing recruiting services to the pharmaceutical industry.
Office Manager (Mine)
I’m Mariam Saied, I’m a very hard worker with 15 years of experience in the Administration field, newly moved to USA, looking for a suitable job in a reputable firm, and you?

Today, there is a very tough market and competitive to find a full-time job. According to the Job Hunters Guidebook there are several ways that you can try to get a full-time job, and in the field of work that we wish. These methods or tactics are the following:
Part-time Jobs.
Entry-Level Positions
Freelancing (A free lancer is an individual who is self employed and sells his or her services to multiple companies).
Temping (start as a temporary employee).
Working in a Related Position.
Internships.
Volunteer Work.
In all these methods or tactics we have great advantages because we gain experience and establish important contacts which later they will recommend to us to standing a position when is available either in the same department or in another.

Good afternoon everybody, My name is Phi Phung T Ma, I have been working on this Employerbility Skills Class for few weeks now and just went through with 3 units of the Professionalism Book. It can’t be denied that the class is really helpful, after first unit I already know how to present myself professionally (even though I still need more practice on how to interacting with people and improving my speech). The second unit I have learn how to developing my professional work ethic. How to change myself from invisible to visible at work as well as being dependable and reliable. This unit also gives me an ideal about how to manage time and stress- which is the important issues not only at work but also in personal life.
Well, I am enjoying working on this book and looking forward for more information as well as the knowledge that I’m thrilling to gain and fulfill my skill to prepare for my future career!
