What is involved in a follow-up conference?
The appointment generally lasts about an hour and a half. It is your time to discuss the issues that are important to you and how your aptitudes relate to your new interests, circumstances, plans, and opportunities. You may ask questions, explore one or more specific job possibilities, or even redo your summary from the beginning. For some people, the summary expands the number of possibilities they are considering; a follow-up can then be a tool for helping narrow down the search again. For our research, we may ask you to retake a test. You also have the option of taking any new tests we have developed since you were tested, retaking an interest test, or taking a vocabulary test to see if your score has increased. How to Make the Most of a Follow-up discusses what you can do to prepare for a productive meeting.
