Career Education Center Services

Employment Advising

Thirty-minute employment advising sessions are available if you know what career field you want to pursue and want to discuss specific search strategies for full-time or internship opportunities in that field. To schedule an employment advising appointment, come to the Career Education Center and speak to someone at the front desk.

Walk-ins

A walk-in session is an opportunity to address relatively narrow topics in a brief period of time.  For example, during a walk-in, you can have your résumé and cover letter reviewed or discuss how to begin your job or internship search.  If you have concerns that cannot be addressed in a 15-minute session, you may need to schedule a 50-minute career counseling session or a 30-minute employment advising appointment.

Career Counseling

Walk-in appointments last 15 minutes.  Career counselors and employment advisors generally hold walk-in sessions Tuesday though Friday, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. You may sign up for a walk-in that day beginning at 9:00 a.m. You must sign up in person at the Career Education Center.

Whether you are certain of your academic major and career goals, or uncertain about what to do next, a 50-minute personal Career Counseling session may be for you. Our career counselors will help you explore your values, interests, personality, and skills (VIPS).

We will also help you plan a job search strategy and address other concerns associated with the job search process, such as résumé writing, interviewing, and networking.

Several career assessments are available for you to explore your values, interests, personality, and skills (VIPS), including:

• The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
• The Strong Interest and Skills Inventory
• The Campbell Interest and Ski lls Survey
• Values card sorts
• The self-directed search

A Career Counselor will interpret the assessment results and discuss how the results help identify your career options. There is a small fee for some assessments to cover processing costs.
