   What's in Your School Counseling Portfolio?

   One thing that always garners a lot of consternation, a lot of debate and a lot of really strong opinions is- the interview portfolio. Go into any social media group and ask about school counseling portfolios and interviews, and the conversation goes wild! Everybody has an opinion on whether or not you need a portfolio, if you don't, they've "never been asked for one," "I have been asked for one," "I put this in it...", "I put that in it..." and the conversation explodes into this huge amalgamation of confusion. In this episode, I'll reveal what I recommend for your portfolio approach, and no surprise- it's going to be at odds with a lot of the popular "advice" that you hear elsewhere.  But unlike others who pontificate and run, I have a rationale and proof that this approach works.

   BEWARE the Interview Question List! Why This Approach Will Hurt Your Chances of Getting Hired.

   Do you remember when you were a student when you would cram for an exam or a quiz, memorize everything you could to try to ace the exam, and then got to the test and discovered that not a dang thing that you'd studied was on that test? Or maybe there were a few curveball questions about things you SWORE were never talked about in class, were never on the study guide, and you had the WORST sinking feeling like, "Ah! I can't believe I don't know this!!!" Do you remember those days? We're going to be talking about that in this episode of the Get the Job Podcast. We're talking about the famous ASCA interview question list: why you should beware that list and why question prepping doesn't work.

   The Résumé Myth: How It Can Hurt School Counselors, and What to Do Instead

   Interviewing for jobs is scary and the unknowns of the process are unsettling: not knowing what you're going to be walking into, not knowing the questions that you're going to be asked, not knowing what the outcomes are going to be.

School counselor friend, if you're under the impression that your résumé is paramount to your chances of getting your school counseling job, or if you feel that endlessly revising and tweaking your résumé is the only way that you can have control over your job interview process, you've got to change your perspective- NOW!
