Process
As with any adventure,
there are endless ways of experiencing the journey. Your
career path experience has been and will be no
different. Here's what our office suggests for assisting
you along that path whether you're a first-time,
full-time freshman, a transfer, or an alum:
-
Schedule an appointment or
walk-in for a meeting so we can set up your
permanent Career Services File. This file is kept
for you through graduation (and later if you wish)
and serves as a single point for collecting career
related information on yourself in addition to what
you will do on your own. In the file we include: the
Career Services profile, the John Holland's Career
Mosaic self-inventory, the Howard Gardner Multiple
Intelligences self-inventory, your working resume
and cover letter and any other pertinent
information.
-
If you don't have a working
resume and general cover letter you should have one!
But ask ten people how to write a resume and you'll
get eleven very confident answers! The truth is
there are many ways and lots of people willing to
help, but no two resumes will ever be the same due
to differences in personalities, educational and
professional experiences, and career intentions. Go
to:
Microsoft Office Online for some good template
starters for resumes and
about.com for Cover Letter guidance.
-
Keep tabs on your job
experience particulars, organizational involvements,
and volunteerism so that at the end of each semester
or academic year you can come in and update your
file with us. By the time you're graduating,
applying for that internship, or happening across
that job, we'll have all that information ready to
compile with you.
