Peter Vogt, M.S. has counseled hundreds of college students and recent graduates from diverse backgrounds, helping them with a wide range of career planning concerns – everything from learning about themselves and investigating career possibilities to choosing a college major and landing a satisfying job after graduation.

Through his work as a college career counselor – at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater; Edgewood College in Madison, Wisconsin; and now in private practice in the Twin Cities – Peter has developed a helping philosophy that encourages students and recent grads to explore their abundant career possibilities and challenge the limiting beliefs, assumptions, and perceptions they often have about themselves and the world of work.

Peter now devotes much of his time to writing about college students and their career concerns. His articles have appeared in such publications as National Business Employment Weekly, Managing Your Career, and CollegeJournal.com and CareerJournal.com (both produced by The Wall Street Journal). He is also “The MonsterTRAK Coach” for MonsterTRAK, the college student/recent graduate community of online career site Monster; and author of the forthcoming book Career Wisdom for College Students, to be published in March 2007 by Facts On File.

With a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and 13 years of real-world business experience in the publishing field, Peter specializes in working with students who feel confused, overwhelmed, or just plain scared when it comes to their career development – just as he was as a “lost in the wilderness” journalism student at Minnesota State University Moorhead from 1985 to 1990.

Pamela Braun, M.A. has extensive experience assisting liberal arts students/alums in finding career paths to match their skills and talents. Holding a master's degree in counseling and psychological services (St. Mary's University of Minnesota, 1999) and a bachelor's degree in elementary education (Mount Saint Mary College-Newburgh, NY, 1994), Pamela counsels students and recent graduates.

While finishing her graduate degree, Pamela completed her master's practicum by assisting a diverse student population at Macalester College (St. Paul, MN), a well-known liberal arts institution noted for its academic excellence. In addition, Pamela has worked at the Office for Special Learning Opportunities (now the Career and Community Learning Center) in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota, where she advised and counseled CLA and other University of Minnesota students.

As a career counseling professional, Pamela is very involved in organizations that allow her to track employment trends and keep current on what employers are looking for in candidates. Her current involvement includes the following: Minnesota College and University Career Services Association (co-chair of the programming committee); Minnesota Career Development Association (board member and editor of the Communiqué quarterly newsletter); and the Minnesota Association of Colleges and Employers (member).

Extremely interested in Carl Jung's personality typology and its effect on the career process, Pamela is currently co-authoring a series of forthcoming books geared to the introverted job seeker.

"If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.
