What to expect as a Career Advisor
Alumni and students will review your profile before contacting you to ensure that their questions match the type of assistance you are willing to provide. People who contact Career Advisors often are looking for:
- Details about your job function. They may want details on your day to day responsibilities, specific challenges and potential career paths in jobs they are seeking.
- Perspectives on your company. They may be seeking information about the history, culture and work environment of your company in preparation for an upcoming interview.
- In-depth industry knowledge. They want to learn about new trends, hot topics, or current events that are affecting your industry.
- To expand their network. They may ask for the names of a few additional people in your company for additional perspectives or specific information.
- Names of recruiters. They may want to know who to contact regarding positions of interest.
On average, about 2 to 5 people will contact you in a given year. You may be contacted more often if you work for a well-known company or in a popular job function.
