What happens in a career counseling appointment?
Appointments vary by each person's need. From selecting a major, to job searching, to changing careers, our counselors have tools to help. Often, counselors administer the Myers-Briggs personality assessment, Strong Interest Inventory, and StengthsFinder, which help clarify vocational choices. Appointments can include a resume and cover letter critique, job search strategy development, networking list creation, and much more. Contact us to set up an appointment to start harnessing these tools.
What is the Career Resource Center?
Located on the main (2nd) floor of Hekman Library, the Career Resource Center contains a variety of materials related to job searching, career exploration, and graduate school. Job seekers may use our computers and printer to assist with their search. All of our handouts and hundreds books are available for perusal. Also, walk-in hours are often hosted here weekdays during the school year, and Bonnie Speyers' office is here.
