Better Tools Boost Productivity
Imagine that you’ve been asked to chop 100 logs in half, that you’ve never swung an axe before, and that your supervisor gave you a dull axe with vague instructions on how to complete your task.
To improve your chances of success, you could replace your axe with a better one, find a way to sharpen it, or request clearer instructions--but ultimately: you would need a bit more than you’ve been given–and it’s really not an encouraging start to be left with a difficult task, and inadequate tools and direction to accomplish it.
Conducting career research and choosing a career direction shouldn’t have anything in common with the scenario above. Without the proper tools, instruction, and experience to complete career research, career research planning can get really overwhelming for students, really fast. It can be difficult to know where to begin to strategize for success, and often leads to panicked decision making in an important time of life.
Advize understands how students may feel while trying to complete their curriculums and think beyond their program at the same time. Where students may feel under-supported, Advize’s career research platform helps ensure students aren’t just blindly applying to jobs in order to keep their application numbers high. Advize helps students verbalize and articulate their personal career needs so they understand how they relate to their pursuits before they expend their efforts in one or more career directions. Without this important, reflective pre-step, students are often set up for less meaningful action.
