Dr. Toni Whitfield
ProfessorWhat will help Employee Advisers increase their earning potential?
Dr. Toni Whitfield: I cover a great deal of tips and specifics about prep for the world of work in several of my classes. The most important is to find a mentor (formal and informal), pay attention to what is going on around you and find a colleague you can ask questions that relate to everyday life and the culture of the organization. Show up! Be seen! Let your supervisor know what you are doing and especially when you are doing things well. Be curious. Dress for the job you want next. Build relationships inside and outside of the organization—this is critical everything is about relationship building. Create a I Love Me file that you can add to all year to prepare for your evaluations and to update your resume.

Sociology
What Employee Adviser skills would you recommend for someone trying to advance their career?
Dr. Gregory Kordsmeier: Many employers are looking for the skills that sociology majors have developed over the course of their major, but many of these employers will not phrase it as looking for a sociology major. Skills like working in teams, data analysis and communication, written and oral visualization, and an ability to work with diverse populations are all prized by employers and common among sociology majors. Your job as a recent graduate is helping translate the work that you did and the skills you developed in college into terms that prospective employers can understand.
