Career Advising

 

Career advising and counseling is provided by a variety of staff members, including advanced doctoral and master's level students in counseling psychology and related fields. Before seeing clients, advisors receive approximately 40 hours of intensive training in the selection and use of career center resources. Our career advisors are prepared to listen to your needs, then work with you to develop a plan to reach your career goals. It is important to remember, however, that a career advisor can only act as your "coach." It is up to you make your career plan a reality.

There are two types of services provided by career advisors:

  1. Career advising is provided on a drop-in basis. Simply sign in at our advising desk in Room A4101 UC and a career advisor will see you as soon as possible. Career advisors are available Monday-Thursday 9:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and Friday from 9:00 a.m.-1:30 p.m. and 2:30-4:30 p.m. Call 644-9770 for information on evening hours.
  2. Individual counseling appointments are available at selected times on selected days. These appointments are reserved for clients with the most need and are provided at the discretion of the Career Center. Clients may be asked for permission to record the session for the supervision and professional development of the career advisor. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 644-9770.

There are no fees charged for career advising and counseling. Our hours vary based upon the time of the year. But, our location stays the same.

Career Advising is also available at the College of Engineering during the following times:

Tuesdays 3:30 5:30 p.m.
Wednesdays 12:30-2:30 p.m.
Thursdays 12:30-2:30 p.m. (beginning Feb 7th)

 

Students are encouraged to stop by the Career Center table on the first floor atrium with career-related questions or resumes that may need critiquing.

If you are not in the Tallahassee area, you may want to review our Resources for Finding a Career Counselor to assist you in locating a career counselor in your area. FSU alumni may also want to review the information on ReadyMinds, a distance career counseling service.
