Career and/or educational planning are vital to reaching your
goals. Without a realistic plan to follow, people are less likely
to reach their goals. By taking into account your interests, personality,
values, lifestyle, and skills, a career counselor can assist you
in developing a plan that you are very comfortable with and excited
about working towards. |

Your resume and cover letter are very important documents. A
resume is a summary of your work experience, accomplishments, and
personal characteristics. A cover letter is a professional letter
submitted to employers that accompanies your resume. It introduces
your resume to the employer. The goal of the resume and cover letter
is to encourage the employer to contact you for an interview. Often
it is difficult to write such documents about yourself. By working
with a career counselor, you are often able to enhance the content,
wording, and overall style, usually leading to an increase in the
number of job interviews obtained. |

A loss of confidence can often occur when, for example, you
are unemployed, unsure of your career interests, and/or unable
to meet your employer’s expectations. It is important to
address this early with a career counselor in order to allow you
to move forward and continue on a path that allows you to shine. |

When searching for a job, sometimes it is difficult to locate
positions that meet your interests and qualifications. There are
multiple locations where job ads are posted (online job search
sites, newspapers, listservs, employer websites, etc.). By working
with a career counselor, together you can find ads that meet your
needs, often increasing the number of ads found in a shorter period
of time. |

Networking is a very important skill to have that involves building
professional relationships. It is a process of developing contacts
and creating ways to acquire information. Since more than 80% of
all jobs are secured through networking, by learning to network
effectively, you increase your opportunities for employment. Career
counselors work with clients to establish new contacts, maintain
current contacts and re-establish former contacts. Many people
do not feel comfortable networking. Career counselors assist clients
in overcoming this discomfort, thereby allowing you to be in a
position that may increase your chances of gaining satisfying employment. |
