What is Career Counseling?
Career Counseling is all about helping you develop and execute a plan to successfully obtain a career. For many, the first step is identifying a career you're interested in and helping you learn more about it. For others, it is helping you gain more hands on experience like an internship which will help you get the future job you want. One of the most valuable parts of career counseling is helping you look for jobs and prepare for them by giving you advice on resumes, cover letters, interviews, and job search strategies.
What is a typical appointment like?
Most appointments involve having a conversation about what you're looking to achieve, giving you some advice, and showing you some tools and resources you can use. Appointments are available both in person and over zoom and run anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. Repeated appointments are not just welcome but strongly encouraged!
