Student Careers Advice
Pods4Jobs is all about Jobs and Careers. It has been designed to get real people talking about their own job giving a helpful insight to students from user generated video podcasts helping them to determine which is the right job for them.
Making choices for students about your career is extremely difficult. How do you even know what is really out there? The first place to look for help is you family members and their friends. At least they should give you a straight answer! They should tell you just how it is - but what if they don't do the job you want to consider?
Pods4Jobs gets right to the core of the matter. We are building a Podbase so every job is covered.
But how do we do that?
We ask students to go out and interview their friends and family and find out what it is really like to be a ..... whatever it is.
They are then encouraged to share this discovery by uploading their podcasts/videos for everyone to see.
Students who are considering being a teacher (for example) can see many teachers talking about their jobs, their likes, dislikes, the skills needed and how they got into the job and make an informed decision as to whether they will be suited to the job or not.
Anthony Broderick, founder of Pods4Jobs, realised there was a big gap in the market for real advice when his children asked him to help with their choices. "When I asked them what they wanted to be, they really had no idea. We spent weeks trying to find some real people and real jobs to get an insight in to some of their preferences. Of course, there were lots of sites but none showed the full story including how, on some occasions, careers get off to a false start before a dream job is found. With this in mind we set up Pods4Jobs"
Anthony encouraged his children to interview family friends and some valuable lessons were learned whilst also having some great fun!
There are lots of budding film makers, presenters and interviewers out there so have a go today! Make a Pod for a job and help others decide on what career is best for them!
