Career Counselors

I’ve been fortunate enough to be invited to speak to college students and alums about finding a job. I think the events have gone extremely well. But don’t take my word for it (I’m biased), see what the career counselors and students have to say.

FALL, 2011

Laura “transformed the vague concepts of networking and mentoring into practical ideas that students can use right now.  We can’t wait to continue our journey with Laura.”

– Roberta Kaskel, director, Career Development, Loyola University New Orleans 

 

                   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Students’ take-away from Laura’s presentation:

  • “I have become more determined and sure of the career path I want to follow, so I will keep applying for jobs tonight.” —Junior, Finance
  • “I will go to the Career Development Center to balance my love for music and mission for food as medicine.” —Freshman, Pre-Med/Biology
  • “Try and be more confident in pursuing my goals…I liked how Laura had real life stories in which to apply these vague (job hunting) concepts.” —Sophmore, Marketing/Economics
  • “I will start looking into jobs that I have interest in because I don’t want to have a job that I’m not going to enjoy for the rest of my life.” —Junior, Accounting
  • “It has affirmed by belief that I must work hard as well as explore different career avenues. Hopefully, I will make the right career decisions and not be easily discouraged.” —Sophmore, Philosophy/Pre-law
  • ” ‘Spread yourself wide’—I love the concept of staying open and trying new things. You never know what you will like….I will keep this in mind on my job hunt coming up.” —Junior, Business Marketing
  • “This is actually one of the most useful events I’ve ever been to….I can use all the help I can get!”                                                                           —Junior, International Business

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Engaging 100 Millennials (recent alumni) in an early morning presentation would be a challenge for any speaker, but Laura certainly engaged them. A highlight of her presentation was how to use information interviews in a job search.” – Albert E. Aubin, Senior Associate Director, Campus Relations & Development, UCLA Career Center
