For my final assignment i have decided to write a story about the Stony Brook University Career Center.
The purpose of the project will be two-fold:
1) to inform students about the function of the career center and how they can utilize the various programs it offers.
2) to explore if the career center has played a bigger role on campus this semester due to the current economic crisis.
Some of the questions that im planning on asking are:
- Have students been using the career center more this semester due to the financial problems?
- What is the type of advice that the career center gives to students?
- What are the options and services the career center offers students?
- Why are these services useful and important?
- How does the career center help students get in contact with possible future employers?
- Has the advice that students have received from Career Center employees changed at all due to the current recession?
- What job markets and majors have been the most negatively impacted by the recession?
- Have any job markets/majors benefited from the recession?
- What are some of the things students can do to adapt their career to survive during a recession?
It's time to set this project into motion. Stay tuned for updates...
