| What
role does your career counselor play in helping you achieve
your goals? |
| Your
career counselor serves as a facilitator, educator and advisor
who will guide you through the process of making career decisions.
He or she will also assist you in developing the skills needed
to conduct a successful job search. |
|
| How
long does this take? |
|
The
career counseling process varies from person to person. Some
students meet with a counselor several times over the course
of their college education, while others may only need brief
assistance with resume development or a job search strategy.
|
|
| What
if the counselor is unable to address my specific concerns? |
| If
you have concerns or issues that are not within the counselor's
scope of knowledge and expertise, you will be referred to other
campus resources that can better address your needs, such as
a Learning Center or Counseling Center. |
|
| Can
you explain what you mean by "job search skills?" |
| The
counselor can help you develop many valuable skills such as
interviewing, resume and letter writing, using the Internet
to find jobs, salary negotiation and networking. |
|
| What
is my responsibility as a student in the counseling relationship? |
|
- Arrive
on time for appointments or reschedule, if necessary.
- Present
your career-related concerns with candor.
- Accept
responsibility for your career- related decisions with guidance
and assistance from your counselor.
|
|
| What
is the responsibility of parents in terms of the counseling
relationship? |
| Career
Services maintains student-counselor confidentiality for all
our sessions. It is our hope that parents will play a supportive
role in their son's or daughter's career development process.
