Frequently Asked Questions

Parents / Students FAQ

What are you able to do for my child?

We aren't miracle workers. No one can guarantee your child a dream job. However, we do impact students in a variety of ways. These include detailed work on networking and interviewing skills from a real world perspective, tips on creating an effective resume even when you may have little work experience, and guidance on salary negotiations. Through dialogue with your child we offer ideas on how to choose a career path in line with ones skills and preferences. We'll monitor your child's progress, holding them accountable for implementing what we cover. This is vital as too many students don't faithfully work their plan, either because no one is prodding them or because they don't have a plan to begin with.

Why should we pay you when the college already has a placement office?

Schools are in the business of educating your child and granting a diploma. While they make efforts to help your child, they deal with a large number of students and rarely are in position to offer sufficient individual time with your child. With a great deal of your money, time and hope for a solid future invested in your child, doesn't it make sense to have a third party bring a "reality check" to the situation?

Can you work with my child when you're in a different city?

Yes, we can.

Do you work with students of any specific backgrounds?

We work with students of all ages and all disciplines. Certain students, based on their major, will logically fall into certain career fields. Still, identifying and securing suitable employment in those fields present challenges in today's competitive workplace.

Do you work with high school students?

Yes. We realize teenagers have many questions and, unfortunately, don't always listen to their parents' advice. Working one-to-one with your child provides him with a real world perspective on not only what he might want to pursue, but how to get it.
