I've been in my position for 2 years and in those two years, I've only had 1 instructor who didn't really coordinate fully with Career Services. She didn't undermine Career Services' expertise to her students, she just didn't participate completely in the partnership. The way we began to have some input in the classroom was by coordinating with the instructors to go in and speak on different topics such as resumes, dress, interview skills, and even how to properly complete an application. Once we started to do that, the instructors began to partner with our department more. We were also very lucky that the instructors told the students they should listen to our advice because it was our job to know this information and we knew what we were doing. Over the last 6 months or so, we have actually begun teaching the Job Orientation classes because there was a need and two people in our department were willing to step up and take on the challenge and had the teaching credentials to do so. But even before, we had a strong say in the information being given to students over the last several years because of our activities in the classroom. One other thing, if one is getting push back, try to involve someone higher in the school. With the instructor who wasn't as fully engaged as we liked, I eventually had to take it to the Director of Education. I know that's an uncomfortable thing to do, but it was essential in order to make sure our students were getting the information they needed (and to make sure Career Services was getting something as reasonable as a good resume). Once we let the D.O.E. and Campus Administrator know that things weren't being done was well as we would like, there was a meeting called and, through good communication, things were put on the right path. It can be frustrating to get the ball rolling, but it can be done.
