First of all...

First of all, I'd like to share how I come to this blog.  I am about to retire from my day job as a college career counselor. With many years of professional experience and academic preparation, I want to continue to use my expertise on behalf of individuals seeking guidance. My interests and expertise are not in placement (matching job seeker to employer) or resume reviews, but rather in sharing knowledge of strategies for applying to college or graduate/professional school, seeking traditional and unconventional  internships and jobs, and most importantly, grounding career planning decisions in self awareness and knowledge about the world of work. I consider myself an educator. I imagine that I'll post periodically and respond to comments and questions as appropriate.We'll see how it goes.
