THE SEARCH PROCESS
Finding a Right Career
If you are graduating soon, think of this transition period like your old
growing pains—a temporary discomfort you have to endure for the sake
of your fervently wished-for results: a job! But no matter how sophisticated your academic program has been, you are in for a huge adjustment
in this transition from college to your first full-time job. You do not have
to do this by yourself, however. Your college career center has career
counselors, programs, and services designed specifically to help you manage a career choice, as well as the job search process.Finding the right job or
career is still the #1
concern of 83% of
college students.—The Student
