Center for Career Development
Career Planning
The Center for Career Development offers its services to all Washington College students from freshman through senior year and to all alumni. We offer a wide variety of services designed to help students and alumni make decisions about their futures, and to develop and implement a plan for achieving their goals.
Career planning can be viewed as a four step process:
- Step 1: Self-Assessment
- Step 2: Career Exploration
- Step 3: Career Experience
- Step 4: Implementation: Job Search
We will help you with each of these steps. You may use all of these services or just those you need. If you are just beginning the process of career planning, you should start with a thorough self-assessment. If you have several careers in mind but you don't know which one is of most interest to you, you should begin with career exploration. If you have already decided what kind of work you want to do but you lack relevant experience, you should use our career experience services. If you are ready to start a job search or to apply to graduate or professional school, please use our implementation services.
We encourage you to set up an appointment with Linda Cades, Vicky Sawyer or Ann Bourne to discuss Career Planning. To do so, please contact the Career Center at 410-778-7890 or e-mail career_center@washcoll.edu.
