Peer Career Advisors

By E. W., 10-2-12

To help kick-off the new school year, the Center for Servant Leadership unveiled a new program meant to help students as they prepare for a life after college. The Peer Career Advisors, a group of students trained to aid in career development, not only provide more convenient evening hours for Gusties, but also offer a more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere as students sort through their interests, activities, and goals in hopes of finding the perfect career. Corrie Odland, current supervisor of the program, stated the goal of the Peer Career Advisors is to allow Gusties an opportunity in which they can help their classmates master the basics of career development. This includes writing a résumé or cover letter as well as creating an online presence to connect with potential employers. In essence, the Peer Career Advisors are meant to help students reach a certain level of preparedness so that when he or she meets with an actual career development staff member, the meetings are as productive as possible.

Sophomore Kelli Remboldt was recently trained as a Peer Career Advisor and showed me the advantages of this innovative program. I was first given a walk-through of the Career Development website. Because the site has a lot to offer, it is easy to get overwhelmed. I would highly recommend seeing a Peer Career Advisor for a quick tour so that you can make the most out of the site. Several of the most useful features include helpful pointers on writing résumés and cover letters, links to websites that allow you to practice interviewing, and suggestions on how to figure out your career path. Remboldt also showed me the shelves of books available for check-out. The books cover topics from the GRE to the jobs that might best fit your personality.  Overall, Remboldt stresses that one of the points of the program is to give students confidence as they take their next step in preparing for life after Gustavus.

If you are interested in meeting with a Peer Career Advisor, they are available Monday through Thursday, 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, in the Center for Servant Leadership office. Feel free to walk-in anytime with questions or concerns; the students on duty will do everything they can to help you get to the next step on your career path.

Kaplan Free Practice Test

Over the past few months, many Gustavus students have been preparing themselves for a standardized test that may help determine what graduate school they attend. Although studying is a great way to increase scores, there are few studying tactics that beat taking practice exams. To help improve test scores, Kaplan is once again giving students the opportunity to experience the test before actually having to sit down to the real thing. Kaplan’s Free Practice Test Event is offering the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, DAT, OAT, and PCAT to anyone with access to the internet. Kaplan’s “Classroom Anywhere” environment will give students a sense of what they will face on test day as well as a better idea of where they need improvement. The online version of the exam will last about four hours and is proctored will be just like the real test.

Upon completing the test, students will immediately be able to see their scores. Additionally, Kaplan instructors will lead the students through a short workshop with to review test-taking strategies and answer questions. For students feeling nervous about the quickly-approaching exam, this is a great way to ease the anxiety. If you are interested in signing up for the free practice test, visit bit.ly/GustPractice and fill out the web form. However, there are limited slots, so sign up as early as possible. The practice test takes place on Saturday, February 25th on any computer that has access to the internet. After completing the online sign-up, an email will be sent confirming your registration as well as providing instructions for checking in that Saturday. If you have any questions, feel free to stop in to the Center for Servant Leadership for help.
