Peter Vogt Biography

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.

As President of Career Planning Resources and as a Personal Career Coach with College to Career - both in suburban Minneapolis - 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. It's a role that allows him to offer career advice to college students and recent graduates from across the United States and around the world - all from his computer keyboard, any time of day or night.

With a Master's Degree in Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and 12 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.
