Student AffairsQueen's students can book an appointment with a Career Educator & Coach to get career or job-related consultation, discuss how your degree connects to careers, review your cover letter or resume, help you prepare for an interview, and many other career-related topics. We also support students with further education, including CV and personal statement strategies and deciding which graduate programs to consider.
Every current Queen’s student may book up to 3 appointments total per academic year from September to August (including Career Coaching and Cover Letter or Resume Reviews). If you require additional appointments, this can be discussed with your Career Coach.
Upon graduation,1 additional year of access to appointments and services starts after the last semester in which you were enrolled in courses.
