What are some specific ways that parents and family members can help their students with the career exploration and job search process?
Support of loved ones during the career exploration process is very important and helpful for students. Parents and family members should talk to students about their interests and encourage them to explore different areas of study and career options. If your son or daughter is interested in a field of work that either yourself or someone you know personally is involved in, offer to arrange an informational interview or “shadow day” so the student can ask questions about the field and meet other people with similar interests. Also, encourage your son or daughter to visit the Career Services office to learn of the services we have to offer throughout their college career. Any parent or family member who has specific questions about the career exploration or job search process or how to help their student is encouraged to contact the Career Services office and speak to a counselor.
