Hello,

In search of interview advice!

After about a full year of attempting to make a career shift into career services in higher education, I am finally getting interviews. I recently interviewed for a Career Coach position at a community college. Tomorrow, I have an interview for an Assistant/Associate Director for the career development office at a law school. Advice on how to market myself or what questions I can expect with not a lot of experience in my background would be appreciated!

I used to work in career services in higher ed! Be weary - people are leaving that field in droves. That said, every team and college is different. You can expect questions on your skills in facilitation, program management, relationship building and interpersonal skills, problem solving with a client (student), etc. NACE (national association of colleges and employers) is a popular resource and network used in this field. Check out Glassdoor for specific interview questions. Showcase how you’re a quick learner, and how you’ll be bringing industry experience and network to the team. A lot of career services professionals in higher ed don’t have industry experience - that in itself will set you far apart from other candidates because you can tell students what to expect since you’ve lived through it (also adding still that the experience differs from company to company).

Not sure how much it applies to law school career, career centers but I know NACES competencies are important at undergraduate level. Maybe you can pick up some verbiage in those for your interview.
