Career Counselor 

Describe the type of organization you work for.
I work for a major university at one of the smaller branch schools. Our current student population is around 5,000 students. We are a four year school, providing a few associate degrees but mostly Bachelors and Masters degrees.

Describe your job role and responsibilities.
I counsel students undecided as to a major; go over career assesments; assist students, alumni and public with all job search issues including resumes, cover letters, job searching and mock interviewing; over-see a federal student work program; and present with regard to all of these duties in classrooms on campus, as well as to the general public.

Please list an additional benefits (beyond compensation) that you receive.
30 hours of paid time off beyond holidays, health insurance including medical, dental, mental health, retirement plan

Do you feel you are under/over or well/fairly compensated at your current position?
Somewhat under based on other universities

Does your job entail you working with others on a daily basis? Is this something you like/dislike about your job? Please explain.
I constantly work with others every day and I love it. I would not be happy if I didn’t have a good deal of interaction with others daily.

Do you work collaboratively with supervisors/managers?
Yes

Do you work collaboratively with your co-workers?
Yes

Describe your work location (e.g., office, home, theatre, in the field) and what you like/dislike about working in it.
I work in an office. The only thing that I dislike about my working location is that I don’t have a window to look out. But, I am lucky enough that my department has windows, so I need only go into the main office suite to get that visual stimulation.
