DO YOU HAVE APPOINTMENT TIMES FOR ALUMNI?
While our focus is current students, depending on availability, we will schedule a 30-minute phone call or in-person appointment for general career guidance, which includes document review and a job search plan of action. Alumni over three years who use our services are asked to make a contribution of $50 to The Career Center Fund with TCF, which supports our internship scholarship program. Email careercenter@citadel.edu for assistance.
For advanced or reoccurring career counseling needs, alumni should seek professional career counseling services. Butch Howard with Choice Point Consulting offers one, free 30-minute assessment. Prices for services vary from executive resume writing at $250, up to full skills assessment packages ranging from $2000 - $2500 for 12-14 hours. For details, contact ButchHoward@choicepointsc.com / ph (843) 437-3542.
CAN YOU GIVE ME RESUME FEEDBACK?
Our area of expertise is entry-level and first-time job seekers. If you fit this description, email us at careercenter@citadel.edu. Depending on how advanced your needs are (and the time of the year), we may be able to offer limited help for more advanced alumni. Resumes are very specific to your goals; one resume does not fit all situations. A lot of good advice to be found on websites like Work it Daily's You Tube channel and Job Jenny.
