Meet with a CDC Counselor
Career Counselors are available to students and alumni to provide
one-on-one assistance. Counselors offer guidance with various aspects
of the career development process, from internship decisions to
figuring out your future career path.
Walk-Ins: You do not need an appointment to see a counselor
during a walk-in session. Walk-ins are held at the CDC Monday -
Thursday: 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and are typically limited to
15-minute sessions.
Appointments: If the walk-in times are not convenient, or if
a more lengthy session is required, you may set up an individual
appointment with a counselor. You can schedule an appointment with a
counselor by visiting the office or calling 289-8547.
Self-Assessment
The CDC offers a number of different self-assessment tools to assist you
in exploring career options but also to better understand what
skills, values and characteristics you possess and how they
match to different careers. Assessments include the Myers-Briggs
Type Indicator (MBTI) and the
Strong Interest Inventory. Meet with a counselor for more
information.
Making the most of your visit: We want to see you! The counselors are here to help them discuss options
and although no preparation is required, you might be interested in
the following:
- Brainstorm about what it is you want to discuss and
write your ideas down on a piece of paper. Even this small
task will better help the counselors understand what you're
thinking, looking for, etc.
- Review the website prior to your
appointment to see what supporting resources are available
online.
- Keep an open mind of how to be helped
- Think about this particular visit. What do you hope to
accomplish during your visit? One suggestion is to think about
the big and small questions you want to discuss.
