Spotlight on the Career Development Center - Introducing CareerBeam
This month the Massey e-Leader is pleased to feature a briefing by Lori LeBleu, Director of the College of Business Career Development Center, on new tools and services to aid students and alumni in all facets of their career search.
When it comes to Career Development, follow these three steps: Be Clear - Be Compelling – Be Strategic!
1) Be Clear: Clarify your goals; develop your focus; identify key characteristics about yourself.
2) Be Compelling: Present your credentials powerfully; communicate your talents and value effectively using resumes, cover letters and the interview.
3) Be Strategic: Identify contacts and networks within your industry; plan and set goals to meet your career objectives; target positions and organizations; track your progress; address obstacles; and negotiate the best offer.
The mission of the College of Business Career Development Center is to assist College of Business students and alumni through all aspects of the Career Development process. We offer individual career coaching/ counseling, resume preparation, job search strategy and interview preparation sessions.
We also focus on securing the best available online career resources. The 3 steps mentioned above are borrowed from our newest resource. The product is called CareerBeam, a cutting edge resource that has been adopted by over 50 schools including Harvard, Wharton, Notre Dame and University of Michigan. Its goal is to integrate all phases and stages of the career development process into a private labeled portal. It is unique in its strong foundation in strategic search, which emphasizes career management as a predominantly self-directed and proactive process for lead generation.
The reality is that most people were never taught how to job search, much less identify their career goals and as a result rely on open job postings as their primary source for career management. Given that only 10-20% of all positions are ever posted in the open market and less than 4% of people obtain their next career move through this process, you need a tool that will help you access the hidden job market.
CareerBeam sources powerful lead generation technologies that capture information on companies, industries and contacts within companies through sophisticated web crawling applications and actually extends access to very expensive resources that you could not otherwise reach. Then they integrate these databases and tools with a career management seminar series to help students/alumni become familiar enough with the career development process to be able to utilize the databases effectively.
Accessing CareerBeam
To get access to the information and resources provided by CareerBeam, click on the link below:
https://www.belmont.edu/careerservices/careerbeam/
Enter your BUID (Alumni, you can find your BUID by logging into the BIC Account you used when you were on campus. If you cannot access your BIC account, contact our office and we can send your information).
Click on the “CareerBeam Register Now” logo and complete the registration form. A username and password will be emailed to you to give you access to the CareerBeam system.
System Specifics
When you log on to CareerBeam, you’ll see that it has two menus. The first menu is the databases and resources located across the top of the system and the second menu is the seminar series broken into three categories down the left side. Here is what the system offers:
RESOURCE MENU – (across the top)
The items described above are part of the Organization Database. It is one of the most powerful areas in the system for those you who already know what you want to do, can articulate it both in writing and verbally, and are at a place in their career development to begin sourcing target companies and generating leads. Additionally the top row provides other resources including:
-Industry Database - provides detailed information on over 200 industries, including recent developments, executive insights and questions to ask potential employers, giving you the competitive edge to win more offers.
-Organization Database - search over 18 million organizations containing company overview, personnel and business intelligence. Database gives access to 22 million company contacts, many with biographies and contact information, which is great for connecting with potential employers and alumni. Trigger technology that continually scans more than 20,000 business sources for over 150 categories of “job trigger events” which indicate an actual job posting or event that creates opportunity.
-Multi-National Database – allows users to identify U.S. Companies that operate outside the U.S. and foreign firms with offices in the U.S.
-International Database - search for companies in over 70 countries outside the U.S. & Canada.
-E-library - provides over 300 links to relevant career development sites
-FAQ – allows you to ask or review answers to the most frequently asked career questions
-Quick Start Videos - provides instruction on using different parts of the system
SEMINAR SERIES – (left-hand menu)
This portion of the system is crucial if you do not currently have a clear sense of direction on your future career path or struggle to communicate your value effectively to potential employers. It also includes seminars to introduce strategic career search if you are not yet familiar with this process
-10 assessments - covering values, temperament, personality, interests, skills, talents, fascinations, and culture fit that culminate into a personalized career profile report
-Professional Resume and Cover Letter Builders
-Interview preparation and network development tools
-Career search planning & strategy formation exercises
As you can see, there is a wealth of information and resources within CareerBeam. There are regular demonstrations of the system. I encourage you to take advantage of these. Demonstrations are held the 1st Wednesday of every month at 8:00 PM EST and 3rd Tuesday of the month at 12:00 PM EST. Simply call: 1-877-213-1363 and enter Access code: 5000.
