Tips for using the FOCUS-2

  1. Start by working on the sections that are more relevant to you. You do not have to complete every section. Select the ones that best meet your needs at this time.
  2. Each section takes 10 to 15 minutes; the whole program takes about two hours to complete.
  3. You may exit and return to the program at any time.
  4. When finished, print your completed reports and/or portfolio and make an appointment with the Career Development office at careerdevelopment@vwu.edu.
