Attention St. Petersburg\/Gibbs Campus<\/u><\/a> students! Here’s a chance to learn more about some of the college’s\u00a0Career & Academic Advisors<\/a><\/u>, why you should meet with them and how they can help you in college and beyond to a future where you’ll be working for more than a paycheck but also for a purpose.<\/p>\n

Why should I meet with an\u00a0advisor?<\/h5>\n

Your advisor can help you learn more about yourself so you are better equipped to make decisions that will help you achieve a meaningful career.<\/p>\n

By taking a “career inventory” such as Focus 2<\/u><\/a>, your advisor assists you in learning about your interests, skills, values and personality or Holland Codes<\/u><\/a>, \u00a0which refer to personality types. Finding a career that fits your Holland personality can be a step toward success.<\/p>\n

Also, the Career & Academic Advisors are always working to develop their skills and provide more opportunities to assist students. Stay tuned to hear about\u00a0new trends in Career & Academic Advising<\/u><\/a>\u00a0that can help students such as staff\u00a0training in Career Development Facilitation<\/u><\/a>, group advising<\/u><\/a>\u00a0sessions and workshops with the\u00a0college’s\u00a0retention team who help students successfully\u00a0complete their college goals.<\/p>\n

How can I pick an advisor who’s right for me?<\/h5>\n

Who are these Yoda-like figures who can help you better understand\u00a0your academic aspirations and career dreams?\u00a0Would\u00a0knowing your advisor\u2019s own\u00a0Holland\/Personality code<\/a><\/u>\u00a0make you\u00a0feel more confident that this person\u00a0understands you?<\/p>\n

If you’ve asked those questions, than meet the entire St. Petersburg\/Gibbs Campus team of Career & Academic Advisors below or, over the next several weeks, on Facebook<\/u><\/a> and Twitter<\/a><\/u>.\u00a0Learn about their unique\u00a0advising styles<\/a><\/u>\u00a0 and Holland personality types so\u00a0you can select the best advisor for you. Or, if you attend one of the other college’s campuses, check the staff directory<\/a> to contact\u00a0an advisor at that location.<\/p>\n
