The Outcome Survey sometimes referred to as a First Destination Survey or Employment Questionnaire, is a tool schools use to gather employment experience data from current and graduating students. We collect this information so that you are empowered with market insights, salary data, and employment trends. This data powers the Research Tools in real-time, giving you transparency into employment data from our school (in a completely anonymous way.) You will be able to learn about the potential career paths that are available to you based on your program, career preferences, and experience. These can also help you navigate the next steps in your career and negotiate your compensation for both internships and post-graduate jobs.

When you complete your Outcome Survey you help our community and your fellow classmates have a competitive advantage in their job and internship search.

1) From your homepage, navigate to the “Outcomes” tile and select the options Post Graduation, Internship, Summer Job, During School, or Pre-School.

This will take you to a new screen allowing you to better define which outcome category applies best to your situation.

Now let’s take a look at how you can build and manage a list of target employers that you are excited about working for. This is a powerful tool for tracking your contact network and excellent for keeping your job search organized. Your very own personal CRM tool built right into 12Twenty!

You can use these tools to track the employers that you are interested in, the jobs you apply for, the status of each application, and any follow-up actions needed. It also lets you track the progress of your professional contacts and networking activities. The effort you put in on the front end will be worthwhile and allow you to stay on top of deadlines so you feel in control of your growing professional network.

1) Let’s navigate to “Target Employers” module from the left side nav bar

• From here you can build a list of employers you are actively targeting for jobs & internships
• You can add a Target Employer simply by typing the name into the search bar and clicking the “+Add to Target Employers” button
• You can add any “Notes” and/or follow-up “Tasks” based on your networking conversations or career search updates
• By clicking the “pencil icon” you can track the “Status” and “Priority” of each of these employers (researching employer, interviewing, received offer, etc)

As you go through your job search, re-prioritize each Employer on your list and update your job search status along the way so you never miss a deadline or important task.

2) Use the “Target Contacts” tab in the Target Employers module to track the growth of your professional network

The ability to network successfully has emerged as a crucial job-seeking skill that must be cultivated in order to stay competitive and increase your chances of finding a job. Online job postings often receive hundreds or thousands of applications, and networking is often the key to success. Cultivating long-term relationships helps you gather information, gain exposure, and learn about job opportunities through the “hidden market” created by a network of employers, friends, fellow alumni, and professional contacts.

Assemble a Target Contacts List –

Who do you know in your network that is working in your dream job or who in your network can introduce you to someone who is doing the job you want?

• Start writing down names and you’ll be surprised at how quickly the list grows.
• Your network is bigger than you think it is. It includes all of your family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, former supervisors, alumni, classmates, professors, and more!
• Check LinkedIn to see if you have any connections within the organization to which you are applying.
• Think broadly and continue to add people to this list as you continue your job search.
• When compiling your initial list of contacts, try not to underestimate anyone’s potential to be a knowledgeable resource.
• Do not be discouraged if you have only a few people on your list at first; each contact will direct you to more people and the numbers in your networking circle will soon multiply.
  
  

Set Up Informational Interviews –
Once you have developed a list of contacts, start reaching out to your network to set up informational interviews.

• An informational interview is an informal conversation with someone working in an area of interest to you who can give you information and advice. It is an effective research tool and a great way to build professional connections. During the “interview” ask questions about their career path and their recommendation for getting started in the field, ways to gain experience, other people you should talk to, and tips on finding available jobs.
• The people you know and the people you meet won’t necessarily get you a job directly, but they may be aware of openings in that hidden job market.

Add Notes & Task to any Employer and Contact Records

You will be able to document all of your relevant notes, job search actions, and track the networking conversations you are having with employers and recruiting contacts allowing you to more easily follow up on the progress of your job applications.

You will be able to track all of your to-do’s and next steps using the “Tasks” module. This is where you can set up appointments, events and schedule critical to-do reminders.

This tool will help you learn more about the Employers and Contacts that commonly recruit our students and graduates. These Employers and Contacts support our community in many ways. Some are alumni, others participate in our recruiting programs and events, post jobs, hire and supervise interns, and have hired students into full or part time jobs post graduation. The Career Services office keeps this list updated as new employers join the network.

Steps for navigating the Research Tools:
Select the  “Research Tools” module from the left side nav bar.

This allows you to search using a variety of Job/Location, Education and Background based attributes such as Degree Sought, College/University, Gender, World Region, Graduation Class, and more.

Click the “Get Results” button to see the updated data populate on your screen.
Click “Drill Down/Expanded Results” to drill down further on the selected attribute.
Let’s explore each of the Research Tools available….
Outcomes Index
The Outcomes Index provides a high level overview of the employment data collected by Compensation and Total Number of Offers for any given attribute selected (employer, industries, practice areas, geographic location, etc).
Example: Select the “Industry” attribute and “Sort by” Average Base Salary to view which Industry has the highest Average Base Salary.

Salary Database
The Salary Database is a powerful research tool that leverages historical salary data collected to provide current students with information about realistic salary statistics and trends. Students that have access to and analyze salary information during their career search can compare job offers based on salary, benefits, and other compensation to confidently negotiate an employment offer.
Example: A student receives a job offer in the “Technology Industry” and uses the Salary Database to understand how the salary offered to them, compares to other salaries offered in their selected industry.

The Salary Database can answer common questions about post graduation jobs and internships such as:
 “What did previous graduates who went on to work for Company X, get paid?”
“What was the average salary of the previous graduation class that worked in X Industry?”
“How much experience do I need to ask for X compensation?”
“What is the salary range in X geographic location?”
“What is the average bonus for someone working in X function?”
From the results, you can scroll down to the “Job Details” tabs to display more information on the selected attribute. For example, Employers that hire students in this industry, common job titles and functions, years of experience historically needed for these types of salaries, and locations.

Offer Timeline
The Offer Timeline is a tool that depicts a bar graph by month of when diverse employers, industries, practice areas, functions, etc (based on the attribute you select) extend job offers.
 
Example: A student that wants to pursue a career in the Technology industry wants to understand the time of year that hiring for this industry is concentrated in so that they can focus their job search efforts.
The data displayed will be the total number of job offers extended each month.

Offer Job Source
Offer Job Source is a tool that allows you to identify which job search efforts lead to the best ROI for the type of internship or job a student is seeking so that you can focus your time on the right job search initiatives.
 
Example: A student wants to know the best way to find employment in the Los Angeles metro area.
The data will display in a pie chart with the correlating key to the right of the chart. In this case, we can see the number one job source is to work in a school facilitated internship in Los Angeles.

Offer Trends
The Offer Trends tool allows you to visualize how job offers from various employers, industries, practice areas, functions, etc (based on the attribute you select) have trended over time.
Example: A student wants to see how job offers in the Technology Industry have trended over the last few years.
