[humanser] Questions

Thu Aug 25 13:48:43 UTC 2011

To those of you all who are working with the disability services at the 
universities: I am currently working on the 3000 Internship hours required 
for full licensure. i should be done in June 2012. I would like to work in 
the university. What steps should I take as soon as I finish up these and am 
fully licensed as an LPC to give me the chances of landing a job as an 
assistant director/director of a disability office? Thanks.
