Wood Continues to Share Career Center Resources

Amanda Wood, a Snow College alumni who teaches cosmetology on the Snow College Richfield campus, shares her positive experience with the Snow College Career Center after using the resources.

“The Career Center has helped me as an instructor in so many ways. I have used the majority of the programs the Career Center has suggested. I utilize them in my professional development classes.” She said.

Amanda uses the Career Center resources to teach Professional Development and Cosmetology classes and prepare her students for the workforce. Examples of these resources include StandOut, an online mock interview tool, and LinkedIn.

Amanda expresses the benefits of using StandOut by stating “I absolutely LOVED the StandOut program. I teach a professional development class and it deals a lot with interview skills. This program was so well put together and so easy to navigate on the teacher’s end of things. It helped all my students.”

Amanda also used the Myers Briggs Type Indicator in her course so her students gain insight into their personality types and how to use them to work with others. Students did the assessment first and then Career Center Director Lisa Laird went over the results and shared activities to demonstrate personality types.

To all Snow College Students, Amanda said “GO IN! VISIT with them. They WANT YOU TO SUCCEED. Let them help you succeed.”
