How will my experience with counseling situations apply to a future job after graduation?
• Employers recruit candidates who know how to solve their own problems and who help others solve their own problems. This indicates that the future employee will not burden a department manager with petty problems. • Demonstrating appropriate listening and feedback skills will indicate that the candidate has strong interpersonal skills and would relate well to other members of the team. • Showing a willingness to help others in need by assisting with personal issues will attest to a candidate’s willingness to prioritize others above themselves. • Facilitating discussions about roommate contracts and floor contracts will provide the candidate with concrete examples on how to help a group set and achieve standards and goals.
