Welcome from Alumni Career Counselor

Dear Alumni,

Did you know that life-long career support is available for St. John’s alumni?  My name is Laura Smith and I am the Alumni Career Counselor with the Career Center at St. John’s University.  Dedicated to providing career support to our alumni, the Career Center stands out among other colleges and universities by having a full-time counselor exclusively devoted to serving the unique needs of our more seasoned professionals. 

Are you considering a career change?  Through individual meetings, I can assist you with assessing your interests and goals, evaluating your career options, and implementing a strategic job search.  If you feel uncertain about your career path, a career assessment is one tool to help you consider different professions. 

The Career Center can also support you in your active job search.  Registering with MonsterTRAK will give you access to a database of job openings, weekly job e-mails, and access to a valuable networking tool – the COACH program.  I can provide you with all the details on how to take advantage of these resources, as well as provide resume and cover letter help, interviewing tips, and general job search support.

Who contacts the Career Center?  Alumni seeking support while they make career decisions.  Realizing that our alumni live all over the country and the world, I am available to meet with you in person, over the phone, or via e-mail.  My office hours are:

Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 8:30 – 4:30
Tuesday 11:30 – 7:00 
Friday 8:30 – 3:00 

My door is always open and I look forward to meeting you!

Best Wishes,
