Experience:
This week I was able to attend the staff retreat for the employees of the Career Center at The University of Alabama. Because I have worked full-time before I have attended in-service meetings and it was so nice to be a part of that again. The Career Center staff were eager to work and share such passion and enthusiasm for the work they do. We worked on creating the mission statement for the office and I thoroughly enjoyed that brainstorming process. There was also a time of reflection from the year past and looking ahead to the new school year to come.
Connection to the Reading:
The reading for chapter 8 really grabbed my attention. I am definitely thinking heavily about my career path for the future. My practicum experience has definitely prompted me to think more about it than I have in the past. Personal factors and the institution itself are things I am taking into consideration as I decided where I want to work one day. I have found that finding the right fit as far as the town the institution is located is important just as much as the university. I believe I have found a right fit with the office I have been working with during this month. There is potential to grow professionally and I admire the proactive approach they take versus a reactive stance.
