Your voice matters greatly to your student. Do you tell them what you see in them? Your words can lift them up, or deflate their spirit. The job search process can feel daunting, and your student can grow in confidence every time you tell them the good you see in them.

Here are some helpful questions to consider as you build a habit of affirming and encouraging your student.

• What is your student doing well?
• What talents, strengths, positive traits do you see in your student?
• When and how will you tell your student the good things you see in them?
