Preview presentations

The video preview presentation, 2:35 minutes, is published at https://youtu.be/rWyNpyGEvJ0. Here is its full text:

Initially we looked at employment, we established that employment has two sides. Employers and employees and recruiters are people who match them. And so, in most cases recruiters are representatives of employers.

In the previous lecture we talked about recruiters and now we are going to look at the other side of it, Employment Candidates and what they can do in order to get employment. In this lecture we will go over carrier administration, we will talk about vocation, rational-carrier administration model and what can go on-on the talent level, on work service level and on the job market level because employment is a match between the market needs and talent offer.

We will talk about employment credentials, professional portfolio, different types of professional portfolios, third party credentials, professional credentials, like professional license or trade certificates and client feedback, professional recommendation.

After this we will discuss summary papers, documents like resume or professional bill, or list of key accomplishments and we will end with workforce service providers. In this lecture we will not touch education, because education is the next lecture.
