Assessment Inventories Strong Interest and Skills Confidence Inventory explores the relationship between interests, skills, and career/educational planning. The Strong customizes information on personal styles in work, learning, leadership and risk taking, and provides steps a student can take to identify and evaluate career and educational options. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator explores the diverse ways that people prefer to direct their attention, process information, make decisions, and adopt varied life/work styles. Career Advising and Counseling The staff of the Career Center will meet individually with students regarding career questions and concerns. Walk-in appointments are available Tuesday-Thursday, 2-4 p.m. with other appointment times available as needed. Friday appointments for Seniors only. Career Advising Network is comprised of Hollins alumnae, and sometimes friends and parents, who are willing to speak with students and graduates about their career interests and answer questions about the job market in their particular cities. They serve as “advisors” and are not expected to find anyone employment. There are times when CAN advisors can make job referrals, but it is solely at their discretion. Students are expected to observe this protocol when making contacts. Students and graduates can request a list of alumnae who work in particular occupations in specific geographic areas. Visit the Career Center to make this request in person. Graduate and Professional School Preparation Information
on graduate and professional schools in the U.S. and abroad; special
sections on business, law, and medical schools; exam preparation
materials, including practice exams and information sessions with KAPLAN
Test Prep. Students can earn up to 16 academic credits by completing internships. As many as 250 students intern during Short Term, and many also complete internships during the semester or summer.
