Between my studies, class schedule, and
work, it is difficult for me to find the time to talk to a career
counselor in person. Can ReadyMinds help me?

| |
 |
Yes. Our ReadyMinds Counselors are dedicated to working
around your busy schedule. That is why our counselors are available
in the evening, on weekends and even during school breaks! You can
receive your counseling when it is convenient for you.

I am graduating soon and starting to
feel tense. I believe I need help with my resume and interviewing
skills. Can you help?
|
| |
|
Yes. While ReadyMinds is not a job bank or placement
service, our counselors can provide meaningful support and help
in your job search. We will assist in critiquing your resume and
cover letter(s) as well as offer suggestions for improving your
other skill sets. Additionally, our counselors will offer valuable
suggestions as you prepare for the job interviewing process.

I've already changed my major two times
and am thinking about doing it again. Do you have any tools to help
me make this important decision before it happens again?
|
| |
|
Yes. ReadyMinds Counselors are very experienced in
helping people like you examine and relate career interests, skills
and values to academic majors. Our tools include a uniquely designed
online assessment technique, which is very effective even when you

to career and academic planning.

available both online and in print. We will help you select the

to business to engineering, we have the counseling staff that can

I'm not sure whether to go to grad school
or enter the job market. Can ReadyMinds help me with this decision?
|

of your educational decisions. The issue of entering the workforce
or earning a higher degree calls for careful and personalized planning,
which is what ReadyMinds is all about.

|
Is distance counseling effective? |
| |
|
Research indicates that distance counseling can be very effective,
especially with career planning. In addition to providing convenience
and greater time flexibility, distance counseling tends to be more
structured than face-to-face counseling. As a result, the counselor
and client may be more focused and specific as they deal with issues
and concerns.
