10 CommonMistakesCollege
Students Make
Many new college students don’t know
what they want to gain from their college experience. Although they do not
need to choose a major early or know what career they would love, they
need to begin to pay close attention to exactly what excites and interests
them and what does not, so they can put the pieces together later.
Many students select a major because it
is the ‘hot’ one on the market at the time. This is a mistake because
trends change from year to year.
Many students try to “fit themselves
into a major” instead of “fitting the major to themselves.” Most often,
they don’t choose one that excites and interests them.
Students choose a major erroneously
thinking it will train them for a specific job or career. Instead, they
should learn to develop their aptitude and abilities to use in life and
for the many possible career choices.
Students don’t realize that a college
major does not prepare them for a career. Many other important 3D experiences
are essential to get the ‘feel’ for what they may love to do.
Many students will choose a career path
before understanding much about the actual work on a day-to-day basis.
Frequently, students choose careers
based on biased or incomplete information, or on things that will mean
less and less to them as time goes by. They need to explore and ask a lot
of questions whenever something or someone’s career fascinates them.
Students are often exposed only to a
small number of careers, usually through family and their social circles.
This does not give them the opportunity to explore the full range of
career choices.
Too often, college students focus on
building resumes instead of building skills. While a resume is a valuable
tool, it is not nearly as important as what a student learns and takes
away from an experience that can lead him or her to the ultimate career
choice. While a great resume may help, passion and knowing the best career
path will provide exactly what students will need in those ‘career
seeking’ conversations they will have later.
Often – because they are unsure of
which career to choose— they do very little, or nothing, to prepare
themselves for any career. This may be the biggest mistake.

you are heading, it is infinitely easier to apply yourself to your studies and

The Story of Sara’s
oneTRUEzone Journey
“When I met with Helene to learn the oneTRUEzone process, I was at a
total loss for what I wanted to do. It was the summer before my senior year of
college. Up to that point in college, I had thought I wanted to go into
journalism. After some thought, I decided it was not the career for me. I
realized that I was out of touch with my own skills and passions. Helene guided
me through key experiences in my life, and in the process, I discovered what I
was good at, what I liked, and what I felt driven to do. For me, the most
exciting part was discovering my unique "gift," which has guided my
job search ever since. I was offered a job that is not only aligned with my
"gift," but also my passion and purpose. I am so grateful to Helene
and oneTRUEzone for giving me the
tools to discover and begin following my own ideal career path.”
