Recommended Career Consulting Sessions:

Time commitment can be as little as one session (up to one hour) or as many sessions as both agree upon. 

Informational Interviews –  Share valuable insight into industry opportunities, industry trends, and general career advice from a “subject matter expert.” Students learn about their consultant’s background, professional roles, and experience in the sector. 

Career Consulting – Utilize your expertise to give students career-related guidance regarding the student’s designated industry of choice, such as specific career pathways, industry trends, and internship or job search strategies.

Mock Interviews – Offer “practice” interviews to help students and recent graduates refine their interviewing skills. 

Creating Connections – Provide introductions to professionals in their designated industry, identifying professional organizations or affinity groups to join, and/or identifying networking events which a student may attend. These introductions can “opens doors” that lead to opportunities for career exploration, internships, or employment.
