Take notice that there are two sections for this discussion. For this discussion, you will first take a tour of the Career Center. You will find the Career Center in the Student Portal. You will then take the Mind Tools leadership assessment to learn about the state of your leadership skills. In 2-4 paragraphs:

• Identify the results of your assessment and share them with your classmates.
• List your strengths, according to the assessment.
• Discuss the areas you may need some work on, according to the assessment.

If you are looking for a first or a new career, discuss how the Career Center could be helpful to you in planning a career in your chosen field. If you are looking for advancement in your current field, how can the career center help you?

Second, share your topic for your Portfolio Project. Provide at least one sentence, and no more than one brief paragraph, to define the topic of your proposal next week. Then, respond to the topics your classmates shared. Ask questions about the topic, provide a link to a helpful source, or offer constructive critique.

Respond to a minimum of two classmates’ responses with a substantive post. A substantive post answers the questions presented completely, ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic, or answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The two student responses are built into this price!
