Dear Parent,

Congratulations! May has come and gone; you celebrated this momentous graduation with your young adult full of pride and joy.

For some, it has been an easy road and for others the road has had some twists and turns; nevertheless, they made it to the finish line and got that cherished diploma. After celebrating, you and your young adult may have some questions and concerns. The question may be “what now?” Your graduate may wonder, how do I find employment and begin a meaningful life after college? It can be intimidating and downright scary!

Some students have been so consumed with completing their graduation requirements that they have not engaged in job hunting and career planning. The world of work is changing so quickly because of technology, AI, the pandemic, and climate change that it can almost take your breath away.

There is hope and help. The very first step that your graduate needs to do is to contact their college’s career center. The center’s staff is there to help. Contact them immediately before your graduate can no longer use the service. They will find assistance with resume writing, interviewing assistance, and employment opportunities.

The career centers can be tremendously helpful, however, because of the large number of students seeking help, the time they can allot to each student is limited. That is where Chrystal Nova can help. As a retired Senior Associate Director of Career Services, I understand the needs of transitioning college students.

If your graduate needs to figure out their next steps, I can help. If they need help with assessment tools, I am certified to administer and interpreted career assessments. If they need a professionally crafted resume, Chrystal Nova is here to help. Through our coaching and resume writing services, we provide clarity to our clients.

The goal of our coaching is to highlight the strengths and skills of each graduate; uncover paths that might be good first steps; develop a powerful and professional resume; shore up their interviewing skills, and teach them how to navigate the ATS (applicant tracking systems) to be successful in their job search.

You will find Chrystal Nova has warm and compassionate professionals who only want the best for their clients. Why not contact us today for a no-obligation consultation!

Warmest regards,

Chrystal McArthur
