From School to WorkThe Great Divide
Interviewee
Profile
Title: Health Science Student turned
Administrator
Age: 23
Graduation Date: December 2012
Months looking for work: 3
Current Employer: Saint Alphonsus
Clinic
Interview Method: Phone
Note: No “DO”
Say
“I wanted to get a degree to
prove to myself I could do it.”
About school: “I loved flexible
hours with night classes.”
“I was so afraid to finish
school, it is what I had known
for most of my life.”
“I thought I knew how to job
search. When it actually came
time, I quickly learned I had no
idea.”
“I was too afraid to go to the
career services and job fairs. I
didn‟t know what I would say.”
“I would say about only 20% of
the students used the career
tools at the University.”
“To figure out how to job
search, I talked to peers and
other recent grads.”
“I think in every major at every
university in the last or second
to last semester there should
be a required career class. I
was too scared to go into the
career center on my own.”
“If I knew what getting a
job was like, I would
have done school
differently.”
“A lot of students think they
can do it on their own.”
“I still think I am searching for
„What I want to be when I
grow up‟”
“What is an alumni network?”
Think I thought I was more
equipped, but when I got
into the “real world” it
was much harder.
Students need to be required to
do career counseling before they
graduate.
I was really scared for
the transition, and didn‟t
know where to go.
I still don‟t know what I want to
do, but this job is ok for now and
makes me one step closer.
I totally would have done
school differently if I had
a rewind button.
I wish I hadn‟t have been such a
know-it-all when it came to the
career search.
Feel
Disappointed
Afraid
Regretful
Time wasted
Vacillating
Problem Statement
A bubbly, hardworking, eager, team playing,
positive and capable recent college graduate
needs a more effective way to transition from
College to the workforce because during the
process she felt overwhelmed and fearful and
after graduating she felt lost and was without a
job for 3 months.
