Which of these describes where you're at in your career planning journey?
This is a great place to be! Your opportunities are endless! However, endless can
seem quite overwhelming. Let us help you by setting up an appointment with one of
our Life Design Coaches.
Coaches will:
Help you define your life and career goals by providing a structure to your career
planning process.
Encourage you.
Inspire commitment and monitor and validate your progress.
Promote persistence and partner with you so you can take advantage of your internal
and external resources.
Be future focused, impartial, objective, positive and genuine.
Life Design Coaches can help you figure out what matters most to you and how that
can translate into your career. It's a great program for those who just need to talk
it out with someone!
One of the most fun parts of the career journey is building skills! This is where
you get to go out and pursue activities, workshops, internships, events, and volunteer
opportunities that interest you and help you bulk up your resume.
To see all the in-person, virtual, on-campus, and off-campus events, workshops, and
internships available to you check out these two resources:
If you need help navigating these resources to find events tailored specifically to
you and your goals, we recommend setting up a meeting with one of our Life Design Coaches. See #1 for more info!
Learning to sell yourself is a much-needed skill, and we're here to help! Set up an
appointment with our Career Coach to start working on key things like:
Job Search Document review: Resume, CV, cover letter, Grad School application
Practice Interviews (whether it be for a job, scholarship, or grad school interview)
Also, be sure to utilize First Lady's Attic to get your professional wardrobe set! Ferris students are able to receive one free
professional outfit per year.
Finding a job is one of the main goals of Ferris students leading up to graduation,
and we have the tools to do it! Our main job/internship search resource is Handshake, which has thousands of job and internship postings from across the globe! Every
Ferris student/alumni already has a free Handshake account that they can access by logging in with their Ferris email and password.
The key to searching for jobs on Handshake is having a well-stocked profile and utilizing
the search features. There are many video tutorials provided by Handshake about how
to fill out your profile and how to use their large set of features. Otherwise, feel
free to set up an appointment with one of our pro-staff to learn how to utilize Handshake
in a way that's tailored to you!
We know there are plenty of other job search tools out there, and we'd love to help
you navigate those, too. Set up an appointment to get your job hunt started!
