After Graduation... Then What?

Colleges give you many of the skills and education you’ll need once you have a job -- but they don’t tell you what career path to pursue, which professions you are most suited for, or information about job titles and career tracks.

How to Get Going in the Right Direction
Making wrong decisions now can waste a lot of time, create frustration, and cause you to have to re-invent yourself later. Getting it right in the first place can make a world of difference. For example, if you've chosen a career direction and an advanced degree supports your getting there - that's great. But if you're thinking, "I'll get the degree first, and decide later," then that degree could end up as a very expensive postponing technique. Before you pay thousands of dollars and time going to school, you better be sure you are focused on an appropriate, well thought out goal.

There is a Systematic Process for Creating a Successful Career
There is a way for one's interests, talents, education, skills and personality to intermesh to create a career that is fulfilling, successful and intentional. This system combines self-understanding, skills analysis, personality assessment, along with occupational information.
You need to understand your relevant skills, individual talents, and particular personality style. You need the self-knowledge to find the right fit between who you are, what you have to offer and what careers will be appropriate and rewarding for you. You need information, insight and perspective regarding the realities of the job market. As a career counselor and career coach for over 25 years, and having worked and taught in schools and colleges, I have developed effective methods and techniques for career development which put special emphasis on bridging that gap from academic study to focused, appropriate, rewarding career choices. I can guide you through the critical transition from your education to the world of work.

Feel free to call me, I will be happy to further describe how I can assist you.
