Dr. Hirsch believes that the primary role of the career services is to act as a nexus between students, prospective employers, faculty, and alumni.  Since information or a lack thereof, is the major challenge in career decision making, the role of career services is strongly educational.  Career services can be a resource for obtaining information useful for decision making.  Professional staff can also serve by assisting students and alumni in the development of career planning, and job seeking skills such as resume writing. Dr. Hirsch also enjoys the teaching role and has presented numerous workshops as well as teaching for credit classes in career development, job seeking skills, and serving as an instructor for the LSUS first-year orientation class.
