Avani:I promise not to respond to every article you write in the future, but you seem to be getting several questions that are career related. The latest one with the 1990 alumnus is interesting. I would encourage you to continue to direct similar requests to the University Career Center or, in his case, to the Alumni Career Services. The Director of Alumni Career Services is Sue Simonds, and she is an excellent career counselor. Although he expressed concerns about the cost, I hope he realizes that access to the same professional services in the open market would cost him $300-500 easily. The fee he mentions gives him access to the alumni directory which can be an excellent networking resource in addition to other services. Total cost, including personal counseling, is $70. It may be helpful to know that career services to recent grads used to be just one semester following graduation. In light of the current economy, we extended the that to one full year starting in 2008.
Your writer may need comprehensive assistance that goes beyond just posting resumes. I hope he will seek help and use the resources still available to him through the alumni office.
