Bridge for the Xs: a new career services model
Article Abstract:
Today's students, called Generation X, have different wants and needs which career services professionals must address. This entails a modification in their approach since past methods do not appeal to these students. Networking presents an alternative basis for a new career services model but this should be geared towards making students as major participants in the process. To bridge the gap with Generation X, career services professionals need to provide students with open options, more services, efficient and speedy information, instruction by example and personal attention.

This type of parents, particularly those overzealous ones, poses a problem for university career services practitioners. However, the advantages of allowing parents to get involved still outweigh the drawbacks. Some approaches in which career services practitioners can build relationships with parents are described.
