業界企業研究とキャリア形成（オリエンテーション）

Key wellness / self-care / productivity strategies & tips

Proactive mindset and recovery after breaks

• After summer vacation, restart momentum with a positive “back to action” mindset (the speaker describes feeling energized after a fun experience).

Actively challenge yourself (low-risk experimentation)

• Encourage students to take the first step and try things, even if they may fail:
  • “Challenge yourselves”
  • “If you fail, fail and move on to the next thing”
• Use university time actively because opportunities are time-limited.

Career research as a structured system (not passive consumption)

• Treat the course as action-based, not just watching videos.
• Make choices and take actions during the scheduled periods; those actions count toward attendance/credit.

Time management: plan earlier, do Monday work, avoid last-minute stress

• Do not rely on the deadline day:
  • Submit assignment reports by the required Sunday deadline, but prepare on Monday (the day lessons stream).
  • The speaker emphasizes that late submissions are not accepted (examples included missing deadlines due to issues like problems/illness).
• Schedule recurring weekly time:
  • Set aside the same time every Monday to watch industry/company research and career videos.
• If you’ll need to complete tasks, plan ahead to prevent “insufficient points” later.

Attendance/compliance discipline (accuracy matters)

• Don’t assume submission guarantees presence:
  • Attendance on UNIPA may show as “absent” until submission batches are processed.
• Zero tolerance for late-by-any-amount submissions:
  • Even a few seconds late may result in a score of 0 and being marked absent.

Use support early (reduce anxiety by asking in advance)

• If you’re worried about grades/attendance, ask as soon as possible, not at the end.
• Contact options:
  • Email listed in the course materials
  • Visit the Career Center

Convert learning into measurable progress (points via concrete actions)

Use a “steps” approach where each required activity yields points, such as:

• Lecture attendance confirmation reports
• Career center consultations
• Alumni Cafe listening + reports
• On-campus joint company seminars participation
• SPI web test prep course

Email/notification management to avoid missed opportunities

• Keep your “antenna” up for announcements:
  • If you have 50+ unread emails, first build the habit of checking email.
• Important job search communications come via email from companies.

  • Watch recorded lecture video(s)
  • Submit an “attendance confirmation report” per lecture
