Career Development, Assessment, & Resume Writing

Career development and career counseling services are designed for individuals who are searching for or changing careers.

Custom and standard programs are available.

Career development involves helping individuals in a variety of ways as it relates to their jobs, careers, and the world of work. For example:

Working with people who are changing careers or who want to move ahead in their current career. This also includes helping those preparing to shift into retirement, or those who have been laid off.
Working with people who aren’t certain about what they want to do by discovering their skills, abilities, interests, and personality style. This includes completing paper-and-pencil and online assessment instruments.
Working with individuals to create professional resumes, cover letters, follow-up and thank you letters, and to sharpen interviewing skills.
Providing resources to support effective job search and research strategies, including networking.
