Fewell had already earned her associate degree in 2015, and she had plenty of professional experience working in both medical records and assisted-living facilities. But she wanted to move into administrative work, and she saw the Bachelor of Science in Health Administration as the path to get there.
Fewell successfully completed her degree in November 2020, but by the beginning of 2021, it occurred to her that maybe the degree wasn’t enough. Maybe, she thought, she needed to learn how to leverage both her skills and her education to get the job she wanted.
“I thought to myself, ‘Look at yourself. Yes, you got your bachelor’s degree, but where’s the good job?’” she says.
And that’s where Career Services at University of Phoenix (UOPX) entered the picture. Fewell connected with Carla Hunter, a 21-year veteran career advisor who says the reason she’s good at what she does is her commitment to client success.
“What makes me effective is not that I have the highest credentials, but primarily it’s because I care,” Hunter explains.
So how does caring translate into a partnership that empowers the client in his or her job search? Read on to learn more about what career advisors do and why every student needs one.
