Most students miss out on career coaching because it is not a prerequisite to graduation. But if having a successful career is the goal, the sooner they acquire and integrate career management skills into their lives, the better.

"Career Week was a huge success! I've had several students call and ask
me for the notes. You provided a lot of professional advice and personal experience. We were so lucky you were available."
Sharron O'Connor, Career Counselor, UC Berkeley

"The networking seminar was a smash!" Heather Woodford, Job Fair Liaison, California Job Journal

Career Management Services for Colleges and Universities

The goal of a university’s Career Center is to prepare undergraduates, graduate students, and alumni to make informed decisions about their futures. The center is essential in helping to transition students from classroom to workforce.  However, a challenging economy has made it difficult for many schools to provide enough staff to keep up with the demand. Career Insiders is an excellent resource to fill the resulting gaps.

We are proud that our President/CEO Mauri Schwartz is an Adjunct Advisor at the University of California, Berkeley Haas School of Business and also works closely with Mills College's Lorry I. Lokey Graduate School of Business in Oakland and Tulane University in New Orleans.  Career Insiders has delivered workshops and train-the-trainer programs at these institutions and the University of San Francisco, Golden Gate University, San Francisco State University and the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Our expert career consultants provide services in a group setting with a variety of seminars and workshops, or work one-on-one with individuals to meet your expectations. A sampling of our programs include:

Career Boot Camp

Part One consists of the following components during a full day of presentation, interactive role play, and real-time demonstration of search techniques.

• Identify Your Target – Those of us who know exactly what they want to do when they graduate are lucky…and rare. Most of us are puzzled as to which way to go. It is essential to choose a direction and pursue it with focused attention.
• Write a Winning Resume – Most job seekers are screened out even before having a chance to interview. Learn how to structure your resume to gain the inside advantage.
  
• Ace the Interview – If you cannot interview effectively, your knowledge and work experience will go unnoticed. A less qualified candidate may get the job because of better interviewing skills.
  
• Become an Effective Networker – 90% of new jobs, the most desirable ones, are attained by networking, and it is easier than you probably think.
  
• Dress for Success – Even before the interview, an employer will notice your appearance. You must be dressed for success.
  
• Design a Search Strategy – Do you know how to look for a job in the current market? It is not enough to post your resume on the Internet and wait for a response. You need an aggressive step-by-step action plan based on your individual needs.

Part Two consists of a day of 20-minute one-on-one consultations for Part One participants.
