Ask: "Do you have any ideas about what you might want to do when you graduate?"

If your son/daughter seems unsure, you can talk about personal qualities you see as talents and strengths. You can also recommend:

• taking an assessment test, such as Focus 2 on this website. Other assessments including the *Myers Briggs Type Indicator, the *Strong Interest Inventory, and *CliftonStrengths are also available after meeting with a career counselor.
  
• talking to favorite faculty members.
• researching a variety of interesting career fields and employers through Candid Career​.
• volunteer or intern in industries or environments where they may have an interest.​
• conducting an informational interview with someone in a field they are interested.

* These assessments have a material fee.
