Build your career before you need to launch it.

You don't have to know exactly what you want to do yet.

Your first years of college are a chance to explore what interests you, understand what you bring to the table, and start building the experiences and skills that will help you pursue internships and future opportunities with confidence.

Through WorkLife Co, Clark Scholars have access to individualized career coaching designed to help you get started.

Choose Your Coaching Focus

Depending on where you are right now, choose the option that feels most useful to you.

Career Strategy

Not sure what you're looking for yet? Start here.

  • Choose Career Strategy if you're still figuring out what you might want to pursue or aren't sure what you should be doing now to prepare for future opportunities. You don't need to have a career path figured out. This is a space to explore your strengths, interests, skills, and experiences and begin connecting them to potential directions.

  • We'll explore what interests you, what you're good at, what you've enjoyed in previous experiences, and what you want from your future work. From there, we'll identify potential career and internship directions and ways you can begin exploring them.

  • Session 1: Explore
    We'll talk about your interests, strengths, experiences, values, and the career directions you're curious about. You'll leave with a few things to explore before we meet again.

    Session 2: Build Your Strategy
    We'll connect what you've learned about yourself with potential career and internship directions and identify concrete next steps for the next 12–18 months.

  • You'll leave with potential career directions to explore and a personalized plan for what you can start doing now to prepare for internships and future opportunities.

Interview Prep

Want to feel more prepared walking into an interview?

  •  Choose Interview Prep if you want to become more confident and comfortable interviewing, whether you already have an interview coming up or simply want to develop these skills before you need them. No previous interviewing experience is required.

  • We'll work on how to prepare for interviews, communicate your experiences effectively, answer common and behavioral interview questions, and develop examples that demonstrate your strengths. Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to actually practice.

  • Session 1: Your Story + Interview Strategy
    We'll talk about your experiences and goals, identify examples you can use during interviews, and learn how to prepare.

    Session 2: Mock Interview + Coaching
    You'll practice answering real interview questions and receive individualized coaching and feedback along the way.

    Session 3: Final Mock Interview + Next Steps
    You'll complete another mock interview with less interruption, followed by feedback and strategies for follow-up, additional interview rounds, and what comes next.

  • You'll leave with two rounds of interview practice, individualized feedback, greater confidence communicating your experiences, and a repeatable strategy you can use to prepare for future interviews.

Resume & LinkedIn

Build the tools you'll use to pursue internships and future opportunities.

  •  Choose Resume + LinkedIn if you want to build or strengthen the professional materials you'll eventually use for internships, jobs, networking, and other opportunities. You don't need an impressive resume already. Part of our work is identifying experiences and skills you may not realize belong there.

  • We'll build a strong foundation for your resume and LinkedIn profile while helping you learn how to communicate your experiences, skills, leadership, coursework, and accomplishments. We'll also talk about how to use these tools for networking and future internship searches.

  • Session 1: Your Career Story
    We'll identify the experiences, skills, leadership, coursework, activities, and accomplishments that should be part of your professional story.

    Session 2: Build Your Resume
    We'll work on structure, accomplishment statements, transferable skills, and how to tailor your resume toward future opportunities.

    Session 3: Build Your LinkedIn
    We'll strengthen your profile and talk about how to use LinkedIn for career exploration, networking, and internship searches.

    Session 4: Final Review + Internship Readiness
    We'll review your revised materials and talk about how to put them to work as you begin exploring and applying for opportunities.

  • You'll leave with a strong resume and LinkedIn foundation, along with the skills to continue updating, tailoring, and using both throughout college.

Not Sure Which One to Choose?

That's completely okay.

If you're early in college and aren't sure what kinds of internships or careers you might eventually pursue, Career Strategy is a great place to start.

If you have a direction in mind but need stronger professional materials, choose Resume + LinkedIn.

And if you're preparing to interview or want to build your interviewing skills before you need them, choose Interview Prep.
