Foremost below are the benefits to students and to employers and the guidelines for employers.
Loyola University of Maryland, Baltimore, has information below, including videos, tips and video transcripts of videos on topics such as phone etiquette, the interview, top 10 interview mistakes, online video interview, behavioral interview, avoiding Google answers, asking questions and interviewing the interviewer in addition to proper interview clothing. Although geared toward post-secondary, this is practical information.
What is Job Shadowing?
Job shadowing is an experience where students may spend a
few hours, a half day, or even a full day with an employer. Each shadowing
experience varies and will depend on the site, but students could engage
in/observe client meetings or computer and research projects, tour the
facility, and interact with other departments within the organization.
Students
By job shadowing, students have the opportunity to:
- make connections by building networks with alumni and employers in the
industries that interest them,
- gain experience by observing a specific occupation on location at the
employer site, and
- confirm their major by validating their interest in a specific
industry and/or occupation.
To prepare for an upcoming job shadowing or informational
interview:
- Review the job shadowing planning sheet for students, http://www.loyola.edu/department/thecareercenter/employers/~/media/6D1FE30CF6614197ADD29F0AD1C85BA9.ashx,
