Student and Recent Grad Career Services
Services > Student and Recent Grad Career Services
Students, you know you want to secure an internship or land your first job, but where do you start?
Parents, you want your adult children to achieve personal and financial success, but do you struggle with what to say or do?
Here is where I come in! I help college students (and their parents) tell their story to develop a career brand and stand out during the job search. I advise young professionals on how to clearly demonstrate their value, set clear goals, focus on their target interests and competencies, and learn how to sell themselves with confidence to any company they approach.
Let's build your career brand, get you ready to navigate the job search and succeed once you get there.
Kickstart Your Career – How College Students Can Market Themselves
Early career preparation is critical for what happens after graduation. We work on strategies that guide a career path and help gain confidence to successfully navigate the job search process. I understand the challenges of young professionals and the guidance that is needed to create confident, focused candidates that put them at the top of a company’s list.
Students and recent grads will:
•
Understand their value and how to feel confident when communicating with employers
• Professionally
network with the right people
•
Practice interviewing with constructive feedback
• Create a
resume and LinkedIn profile that are professional and will stand out from their peers
These services are ideal for:
• College Sophomores planning ahead for the summer internship of Junior Year.
• College Juniors and Seniors planning ahead for the next internship or campus job interviews.
• Recent graduates who are looking to choose a career path.
•
Parents seeking guidance to help their children succeed.
I help alleviate the tension between parents and students, by taking the parent knowing they will have accountability and actions out of the mix and empowering the student to navigate the career search process, understand network activation and set themselves up to succeed.
