A. Overview of the Job Search Check-In Assignment

The Job Search Check-In Assignment is designed to help students stay accountable to their goals, remain motivated throughout the job search, and receive timely support if they encounter challenges. This assignment uses SMART goals, progress tracking, and early alerts to provide ongoing guidance and structure.

The assignment has three parts:

  • Baseline Call – Students identify target roles and create a plan.

  • Check‑In Call(s) – A series of touchpoints to review progress and set new goals.

  • Final Call – Confirms outcomes and guides next steps.

Best suited for:

  • Large cohorts where one‑on‑one advising isn’t scalable.

  • Internship or placement programs with recurring check‑ins.
