Are you deciding what you
want out of life and need direc-
tion in choosing a career?
The career planning center
on the first floor of the Moody
Learning Center offers help.
Coordinator Judy Kovacs-Long
explained its
mission is to
| * deliver career
Fnr 11S J Planning and
* information.
/zF°r those
who are
unsure of their
path, passion,
for their life work, this career
exploration is extra important,"
Kovacs-Long said.
She emphasized the impor-
tance of the career planning
center.
"It helps set goals, priorities,
and direction. It empowers stu-
dents."
Students can work on the 30
computers in the career planning
lab or meet with a counselor or
career guidance specialist on
a one-on-one basis to discuss
career plans and goals.
One of the assessment tests
students are encouraged to take,
Type Focus, is a personality test.
Type Focus, which is Internet
based, asks 66 questions based
on preferences.
When the assessment is fin-
ished, the computer comes up
with a personality type code
based on Carl Jung's personality
theory, organizes the information
and tells students career possi-
bilities for exploration.
"Students will work better in
teams, process information in the
same manner and share interests
and values with those with simi-

such topics as career exploration,
Internet career searches and jobs
as well as career seminars.
The next career seminar will
be about child development from
12:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday
in Room 178 of Moody Learning
Center.
Students also can search for
a career path at the career fair
April 17 in the Fiesta Room of
Loftin Student Center.
Three . counselors, David
Rodriguez, Rosa Maria-Gonzalez,
and Kovacs-Long, work in the
career planning center.
The career planning center
is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Monday through Friday.
Students can walk in any time
during those hours except when
classes are scheduled for the
center.
