Career Counseling - Industrial Engineering

Career counseling is a service that assists people in starting, changing, or advancing their jobs. One-on-one interactions between a counselor and a job seeker, as well as assessments, exercises, and projects geared to help career seekers maximize their abilities, can all be part of it. Whether you are a student, new graduate, or in the middle of your career trajectory and seeking a job shift, career counseling can assist you in making informed decisions for your professional journey. 
A career counselor is like a career coach in that professionals in both roles can help you navigate your career path and understand your career goals. Although these terms are often used interchangeably, professionals may identify themselves as one or the other and describe their services in specific ways. Because career counseling is a collaborative process, you can generally anticipate getting as much out of it as you’re willing to put in. Students work with their counselors to identify their skills, interests, and long-term career goals. From there, they can explore a broad range of options and chart their career journey.
The department of industrial Engineering intends to hold regular job counseling workshops for graduating students. Currently, graduating students are encouraged to meet with their respective academic supervisors to get advice on job search techniques, hunting for a rewarding career path, CV preparations, drafting cover letters, preparing for interviews, following up interviews, negotiating salaries, and much more.
