Your Career Counselor

Your career counselor can help you with all things related to your career plan, including writing a resume and cover letter, preparing for an interview, and exploring potential majors, occupations and industries.  Students should plan to meet with their career counselor once a semester.

Each College and the Feliciano School of Business has a designated Director of Career Services who works with students who have declared a specific major. These college and school Career Services offices provide assistance to students regarding career development, career advising and cooperative education/internships.

Undeclared students can make an appointment to meet with the Director of Career Development in the Center for Career Services.

What should I ask my career counselor?

You may be speaking with your career counselor about many different topics pertaining to your career goals.  If your major doesn’t clearly dictate a career path or if you are still exploring majors, you may want to ask:

• What are some job titles MSU graduates have based on my major?
• Who are some of the top employers for my major?

Below are some additional questions you may want to ask your career counselor during your appointment:

• I’d like to have my resume critiqued, how do I go about doing that?
• What kinds of career events are planned for this semester?
• When should I pursue a co-op or internship?
• What advice can you share with me regarding the job search?
• Is there someone you recommend I reach out to/network with based on my career goals?

Remember, your career counselor is here to help you at all stages of your career development.  So make sure you prepare a list of questions prior to your appointment to get the most out of your time.
