“Being a Career Advisor in the Career Studio was never my original intention. During my first year at K, I noticed that the CCPD Office Assistant role was hiring and available, and I was looking for an on-campus job. While working as an assistant, I had always revered the Career Advisors, who always appeared to complete their complex tasks and jobs without hesitation. Thus, when the position was offered at the end of my first year, I wasn’t sure how well I could manage the job. 

Throughout training, I was paired with a Senior CA, Jordyn, who walked me through the intricacies of the job. My relationship with Jordyn showed me immediately how being a CA means being a part of a community. This community is not merely made up of employees of the CCPD; it represents every person who walks into the Career Studio, awaiting help from their peers. I feel so glad to have been a part of this community for four years now, and I know that this community will stay with me: not only because the CCPD offers its services for all K Alumni, but also because of the enduring relationships that I have been able to build in the Career Studio.” – Alex Nam ’25
