Career Services Department

The Career Services Team is the Professional Development Partner to help you work toward your professional nursing, medical imaging, and healthcare career.

Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts believes that professional development should be interwoven into our student experience and that it should be just as important as our students’ technical training. The career services team guides the student experience from the beginning as a new Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts student and continues beyond graduation.

We support and develop our students by sharpening their confidence and preparedness in their ability to sit in front of any employer and discuss the new skills they have earned throughout their educational journey. 

Although we cannot guarantee employment, the Career Services Team at Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts is our student advocate in the Job market, dedicated to supporting all motivated students and graduates seeking assistance.

The Career Services team provides professional development workshops to all students to address critical professional soft-skill development. These workshops are designed to aid in student self-discovery and allow for assessing and reinforcing professional conduct.

The workshops aim to enhance student communication and self-awareness before promoting their newly earned technical skills to potential employers. To this end, each workshop is delivered in a fun and interactive fashion in which student participation is encouraged.

Career Services has an open-door policy for students who desire one-on-one coaching, advice, or guidance. We pride ourselves on being professional development partners for our students.

Career Services does more than provide job assistance; we counsel our students on life skills. We aim to meet every student’s needs or request additional support to gain the confidence necessary to share their new technical skills with any employer or person who inquires about their career interest.

The career services team aims to partner with community employers to participate in our student mock interviews whenever possible to assist students with the interview process, develop confidence, and enhance skills. The goal is to simulate actual interview conditions to provide our students with a more comfortable and realistic interview experience.

Employers get the opportunity to provide feedback that will aid students in assessing their current strengths and weaknesses regarding their interviewing abilities.

Since the start of COVID-19, we have continued to provide the service virtually.

In addition to providing mock interview opportunities, the career services team takes it a step further by running a job interview and mock interview preparation workshop. The interview prep workshop reviews interview “dos” and “don’ts,” response formatting, and behavioral questions and provides students with examples of appropriate interview attire.

Students are instructed on strategically preparing for interviews by “shifting the power dynamics” in their favor. Students can practice using the Interview Simulator to record and review their responses.

The Interview Simulator is the Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts version of the “practice in front of the mirror” method. Students can then submit their practice interviews to their career services representative for review before interviewing the person.

Highlighting employment skills and achievements wholly and accurately on a student’s resume is a skill reinforced by the Career Services department.

By providing in-person resume workshops and additional self-service resume-building options, followed by reviews and feedback from career services. We take pride in our comprehensive approach to step-by-step guidance, helping our students understand the importance of updated resumes in the employment marketplace and offering students multiple options to create polished resume files.

Career Services regularly connects and speaks with employers of our past and future graduates. We schedule guest speakers to come and talk about what they look for in students, share their experiences in the field, what to look for in an employer, and more.
