Have you ever completed a career assessment?
Many students and alumni seeking career counseling find it helpful to begin their career planning effort by completing some career assessments. Many career assessments are available for FREE or at low cost, and can yield some career "starting points" for further exploration. If you have never experienced a career assessment, or if it has been some time since you last completed one, here are some suggested CAREER ASSESSMENTS for you to try prior to your initial career counseling appointment.
Do you have a resume?
Developing this essential career document can be a first-step in beginning your career planning effort. If you do not yet have a resume, get started by following the Resume and Letter Writing Guidelines , then have your resume reviewed by a professional career counselor during Walk-in hours.
