Helping students find time for the job search
Article Abstract:
Students who avail of the college placement and planning services should be taught to follow strictly a time frame for their job-searching efforts. Adherence to this job-search schedule will help students counter the tendency to get sidetracked by trivial matters that also demand their attention. However, there are those who vacillate about embarking on their job-hunting strategies because they are afraid of being rejected. Career advisors need to encourage such students to talk about their fears and confront them. Time management strategies that counselors can impart to the students are given.

One hit wonders: how career counselors can make the most of single sessions with students
Article Abstract:
Effective short-term career counseling involves steps that positively impact students even after only one session. Some of these steps include engaging students in the career planning process before counseling, inquiring about a student's aspirations and expectations, varying the length of appointment and building an alliance with the student. These steps should be followed by an evaluation of the recommendations given to students that emphasize on post-counseling action and compliance.
