The student definitely needs to be able to self-advocate and be aware of exactly what their needs are.  If your question was more in depth, I could help you out more. Is this a homework question?

Well one good skill for an art student to have is to be open minded. Looking beyond what they see with their eyes to be sucessful at it. Be open to interpretation. Have broad view of life. See the colors of the world. Have determination and focus. Be original.

Speed, accuracy and personality. The ability to multi-task is probably the most important in this sort of role but it also depends on who you are working for. The ability to get on well with many different types of people is also important - think about the role and you will probably come up with some more of your own - phone manner being another......... I could go on forever!

i currently work in a social services department and having an understanding of how things work there are a number of options available: - \n\n- you could apply for a generic support worker type role - eg working on family support issues.  Whilst they would like experience it also about other qualities you have e.g having a solution focused approach to work, thinking fast on your feet, being able to make decisions and evidencing what informs your decision making, having good communiction skills, experience of dealing with the general public and different groups of people.\n\nYou could apply for other jobs such as supervising family contacts - again you don't necessarily need direct social care experience, however they will need to know you understand issues eg what to look out for, what steps you would take if a child became distressed in a contact , what you would consider a poor contact, importance of accurate recording etc.\n\nAs some one has already suggested - you could also go down the voluntary route first to build up your experience - in order to get a social care related job.\n\nIn terms of being a social worker (which i am) you will need to complete a degree in social  work  (either undergraduate - or if you have a degree you can apply for a masters).  When you apply for such courses in your applications you have to demontrate you have some experience in related fields and / or have transfereable skills.  As part of the social work training you undertake student placements (not paid) of various lenghts - where you gain experience but are also assessed .  When i did my MA in Social Work you could specialise in children or families or do adults, however there has been a shift to generic social work so that you gain experience in a variety of fields.  \n\nif you find you get a support / non - qualified post in a social services dept - they often have scheme's where they will support you to train to become a social worker - however in my experience places are often limited so its the luck of the draw.\n\nI would contact some employment agencies and let them know what you want to do and get them to give you information on non - qualified posts - in the mean time in between your current work do some voluntary work to build up your skills.

Mine would be that I'm an extremely quick learner and that I'm fully capable of working with a team or on my own and that I am a good leader, but can also take orders.  That I've been succesful in a wide range of jobs from manual labor to customer service to IT.

Someone with confidence, also you have to talk to your staff on a relitively even level, of course you cant be completely equal you still need them to respect you and do what you want and needs to be done, but listen to them and get stuck in with the work with them (just dont moan about it when you so). Be enthusiastic and dont take the stress of responsibility out on them. Also make sure you have a team of staff you can work well with and who will work well with each other (sometimes no matter how hard you try some people just arent willing to work with you)

Include a section possibly under the heading of 'Volunteer Experience'.  Also include any transferable skills you may have acquired through hobbies or pastimes.  If you have experience on office or other machinery, including computers and keyboards, list it.  You could call the heading 'Technical Skills'.  If you are an outdoors person and/or into sports, list them under a section such as 'Personal Interests'.  Remember to include any positive work experience you have at all, even if was only for a few days.  Every bit helps.\n\nFind some sample resumes and adapt your background and skills to it.  I hope this advice helps.

State your strength and if possible try to give examples related to job functions you had to reinforce it.  For example, "I deal well under pressure.  In my current job I am constantly given last minute projects and request with deadlines that must be met within a few hours/days."

I would focus on the skills you use as a substitute teacher: following lesson plans, communicating and working with other staff, managing students, working independently to solve problems, leaving detailed documentation, etc.

I work with children who have special needs, worked for a year with a child who had Downs Syndrome and am working with children who are visually imparied.\n\nYou don't need any qualifications but experience is crucial. Volunteer work is a good way to gain some and get your foot in the door.\n\nIf you're in the UK you can work as a Learning Support Assistant (LSA) where you'll be situated in a school and usually assisgned to one child who you'd help throughout the day.\n\nThe only thing i would say about a job like this is that while its amazingly satisfying it is also frustrating and difficult. You need alot of patience and then you need to consider where you're hoping to take it, as an LSA there aren't many opportunites to progress.\n\nYou could look at a career as an Educational Psychologist or Speech and Language Therapist. There are alot of careers out there that involve work with SEN children but require further education (degree then masters).\n\nHope that helps!
