Career coaching

The world has changed. Going to college used to be a guarantee that graduating with a degree would lead to a successful career. Too many college graduates are unemployed. Marrs helps both college students and recent graduates leverage their talents and maximize their opportunities by providing focused career counseling.

Marrs Career Coaching services include:

Career Counseling – At Marrs we know that an inventory alone will not give you all the information necessary to find the right career or appropriate path for graduate/professional school relative to specific traits and interests. We provide a series of one-on-one sessions to help our clients both interpret their assessment results, as well as to give them the tools and resources to take the necessary steps to accomplish their goals.
Networking – Marrs is an industry leader in helping you identify the right contacts and what to say when they reaching out to professionals in their particular fields of interests
