Why should we hire you, what are your strengths, and how do you see yourself contributing
to our company?
As a Myers-Briggs Type ENFJ, I bring a “big picture” perspective to the career development issues of
students, as well as to department constraints.With that perspective, I have developed up-to-date delivery
of career services utilizing Web-based tools that ensure quality, interactive information at low
cost. As an “NF” I genuinely care about meeting each student’s career counseling needs. Finally, as a
“J,” I get things done! Do you need an innovative, proactive career counselor?
