Do you have career counselors to discuss study options and career paths?

Yes, a good counsellor works through career planning with you step by step: exploring roles that match your skills and goals, evaluating degree versus certification routes, reviewing your resume and cover letter, and running interview practice using the STAR method for clear, structured answers.

You do not need to guess your way through career planning alone. A structured counselling conversation covers the same ground every time, so you know exactly what to expect and how to prepare before your first session.

What A Counselling Session Typically Covers

ServiceWhat It Helps You Do
Career Path ExplorationMatch roles to your skills, values, and lifestyle goals
Study Options EvaluationWeigh degrees, bootcamps, certifications, and self-taught routes
Resume And Cover Letter ReviewTailor your application materials to specific industries
Interview PreparationPractice questions and refine answers using the STAR method

Questions To Bring Into Your First Session

  • Are you trying to choose a major, switch industries entirely, or advance within your current field?
  • What is your realistic budget and timeline for further study?
  • Which two or three roles have you already ruled out, and why?

My Advice

Write down your current situation in three sentences before your first counselling call, since a counsellor can give you sharper, faster advice when you arrive with a clear starting point instead of an open-ended question.
