Individualized Advising and Counseling
Rend Lake College Career Services offers a number of individualized services to help you get that job interview once you graduate or move on from campus. All our services and steps can be reviewed and requested below.
We offer individualized career service advising and counseling. Utilizing the Focus2 career planning assessment (see below), we can provide students with personalized career advice and better assist them with resume evaluations, job search advice and career counseling to better serve their specific interests. Counseling is available by appointment or via walk-in. For a resume/cover letter evaluation, a student just needs to email (career_services@rlc.edu) or drop their resume off at the career services office.
Career & Educational Planning
Choosing a career is a major decision. Think it's too soon for career planning? Think again! Research has shown students involved in career planning stay on track, graduate on time, and have improved academic performance, along with a more satisfying & fulfilling college experience.
Our new FOCUS 2 career planning system is an innovative way to find a field you'll love and match it with a major at RLC. Complete any or all of the assessments below and our team will help you make sense of your results and use them to guide you down a future you'll love.
Once your assessments are completed, you can email our career services team (career_services@rlc.edu) to set up an appointment to receive individualized counseling to help guide your career or educational pathway to success.
