At the Breen Center for Graduate Success, career counselors and students work together to ensure stability and knowledge for individuals entering the work place.<\/p>\n

The Breen Center provides a feature which primarily focuses on first-year students. Career counselors visit the FYE one-credit classes during both the fall and spring semesters to talk to students. The fall semester allows for students to brainstorm career planning, and the spring semester lets them think about r\u00e9sum\u00e9 development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ensure first-year students understand the value of engaging with our office as early as their first semester,\u201d Brynn Mason, assistant director of career development in the Breen Center for Graduate Success, said. \u201cWe hope that it will help them to be more comfortable seeking our services early rather than waiting until junior or senior year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not only do the career counselors help students, but also upperclassmen are hired to help too. These students are called career peers, assist the staff during drop-in hours and review the r\u00e9sum\u00e9s of the students enrolled in the FYE one-credit courses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis service was not available to me as a freshman, and I wish it would have been,\u201d Courtney Mengel, a senior career peer, said. \u201cHaving a fellow student\u2019s assistance definitely creates a relaxed atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Career peers work with students one-on-one and suggest changes on their r\u00e9sum\u00e9s. The process is similar to writing tutor appointments which are held in the Center for Writing & Tutoring Resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy advice to freshmen is not to think of this as just another assignment you need to do for class,\u201d Danielle Krick, a senior career peer, said. \u201cA r\u00e9sum\u00e9 is a living document which will change over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Breen Center emphasizes how important it is for freshmen to create a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 at the beginning of their college careers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt LVC, students need to submit a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 for leadership opportunities such as becoming an RA or a Valley Ambassador,\u201d Mason said. \u201cEven if students do not have many current experiences, it will be easier for them to write their experiences in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The career peers will work from Feb. 11 \u2013 Mar. 22 during drop-in hours at the Breen Center.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
