Career Exploration Packages

Pack your bags, it's time to take a trip! No- not a trip to the beach for spring break, but rather a trip to explore your career options. The Student Development Office is now offering special career exploration packages for students who are seeking career guidance.
There are two options for students to take advantage of:

Career Quick Trip: 3 Sessions
Attend three sessions of Career Advising. During these three sessions you will have professional help with your resume, cover letter and interviewing skills. The career advisor will help you focus targeting your resume and cover letter to meet your career goals and stand out from the crowd. After the third session, students will also have a chance to use the Perfect Interview Software here in the SDO to practice their interviewing skills. Perfect interview allows you to record yourself and watch the playback to critique yourself. It also gives you an example of a "good answer" to each question that it asks you. You can keep practicing until you are comfortable with your response.

Career Journey: 3 Sessions
This package includes three sessions of Career Counseling with the option of extending to four sessions. Students will be able to take 2 or 3 career assessments and have them professionally interpreted by the counselor. This interpretation is aimed at helping the student jump start their career exploration, not to give east answers! The sessions will also include personalized guidance and job search strategies. You will have the chance to talk about career exploration and ideas in a confidential, non-judgemental environment.

You can start with the Journey or the Quick trip and then schedule the other one afterwards. Call the SDO to schedule on of these packages today!
