College Students Are Missing Out on Career Planning by Marcia Robinson - Aug, 2012 College students who don't take full advantage of their college career centers are missing out big time on the career planning advantage. In addition to finalizing course schedules, buying books and outfitting college dorms, college students should make working with the campus career center a priority this year.

Dreams Are Not Achieved By Dreaming by Bob Roth - Aug, 2012 Do not get me wrong. Dreaming about your future is good.

What I find, after 13 years of working with new grads, is that many new grads have their job search stalled by job search myths and pre-conceived notions. Most new grads are having a hard enough time landing a job after graduation in today's tight job market, but if you add some simple misconceptions and job search myths t... |

The Dark Room by Suzanne Bates - Jul, 2012 I once had a darkroom mishap. It was a disastrous day in my young TV career. This took place back in the "Anchorman" days (remember that movie?) just before videotape became the standard format for television. News interviews were still shot on film.

Your Words, Actions And Performance All Have Consequences by Bob Roth - Jun, 2012 Young children can sometimes get away with saying or doing the wrong things. They may not yet be expected to know any better. However, as children grow older, they can get into trouble because they either do not recognize or do not care that their words and actions sometimes have severe and painful consequences. Because college students are a bit older, more is expected of them. They have already experienced some of the po... |

Helping To Encourage a Career Identity in the Young by Betty Cohen - Jun, 2012 As an experienced career practitioner who has partnered with many young to older adults to help them identify satisfying career goals, one complaint I often hear from clients is “Why can’t I be like most people, who know early on what they want to be when they grow up?” My response is “Actually, you’re not in the minority, in terms of career decision making.

Your Part-Time Job Can Lead To A Full-Time Job by Bob Roth - Jun, 2012 Many students hold part-time jobs while they are in college. For some, the part-time job is a financial necessity.
