Virtual Services for Adler School Alumni

With the launch of CTC Chicago's Virtual Services this summer, Adler School of Professional Psychology alumni outside of Chicago can now benefit this partnership as well. Alumni can access online virtual services that assist with resumes, search communications, provide online mock video interviews, and enable the creation of a personal job search website. All of these efforts are supported by qualified CTC career coaches. In the first quarter, virtual clients will receive weekly one-on-one coaching sessions (via phone or Skype) with CTC career coaches around topics such as:

• Career visioning and positioning
• Market research to identify target opportunities, organizations and employment strategies
• Organizing communications and outreach
• Developing a plan for progress with goals and action steps
• Thoughtful conversations that will encourage, clarify and hold the job seeker accountable to progress.
