Thank you for the heads up - I wasn't sure how to split it up like that but now I know :)

i had Sue Motulsky in grad school. she's extremely knowledgeable. i highly recommend her!

Second that!

She certainly knows her stuff! I took her for a career counseling class not too long ago and she is extremely knowledge on the subject of career planning and keeps things going.

There are good books on the topic. A short seminar cannot possibly cover such a broad topic in any meaningful way, in my opinion.

And was it helpful? How?

Re: Second that!

[sundaisy-summer.livejournal.com]

Yes, definitely helpful in that she has insight into the career decision-making process that someone without all the knowledge she has accumulated would have.

Re: Second that!

[enochs-fable.livejournal.com]

That didn't help much. So how was it helpful?
What did that insight do for you?

Re: Second that!

[sundaisy-summer.livejournal.com]

Well it reaffirmed that I was headed in the right direction (for someone who doesn't know that direction, they might be able to figure that out). I became aware of other options in my chosen career direction. I learned how I make decisions and how that has affected my career decisions. I learned to make connections with my personality and what I need in a work environment (and began to understand what didn't work and did work in past work experiences). I looked at my career decisions holistically (i.e. what is holding me back, financially is it feasible, time management-wise, am I being supported by anyone, etc).

Hopefully THAT was more helpful! I shouldn't respond to livejournal at the end of the day!
