CREATING YOUR CAREER PATH

Managing your career takes time and careful planning, and your plan should include assessments, majors, career information, resume and cover letters, job search, and interviews. Career Management is a fluid experience that presents the opportunity to grow, explore, and ultimately decide on a career path designed specifically for YOU!

Deciding on a career path or changing careers can feel overwhelming. Our Career Staff are professionally trained to guide you through this process with sensitivity, understanding, and support. Feeling indecisive, even though it feels scary, aligns with the theory used by our career staff: Krumboltz’s Planned Happenstance Theory.

Managing this process in a flexible and open-minded way is more necessary than ever with our quickly changing labor market.

Positive perspectives in utilizing this theory include:

• Curiosity to explore various options
• Persistence to overcome when presented with obstacles
• Flexibility to keep an open mind and explore new and unexpected opportunities
• Optimism to see the potential in unplanned events
