At the presentation of “What can I do with a major in…?” at Kresge Library, Career Counseling offered advice on how to research different types of majors. One of their main goals was to help undecided students discover careers they might be interested in.

“We try to help students find self-awareness and self-assessment,” said Shauna Jimmerson, a career and academic advisor.

The workshop presented students with various Web sites to aid in researching a variety of prospective careers and majors. The office’s representatives also gave general advice and answered questions of students who wanted ideas for their futures.

Career Counseling also introduced students to the CAST system, which helps current students at OU contact alumni who have already entered a particular field of interest.

According to Jimmerson, Career Counseling offers more than just advice on majors. They also offer help in finding internships, producing resumes and filling out job applications.

“I think the Advising Resources Department has so many resources, it’s not just for undecided students,” said Jennifer Kautz, an intern at the Career Counseling office.

Career Counseling is planning another presentation in March to help with goal-setting and decision-making techniques. Jimmerson wanted to stress that advisors do not just provide help during programs, but that they can help students at any time in 121 North Foundation Hall.
