Drop-in Career Advising
What is drop-in career advising?
Drop-in career advising does not require booking an appointment. Our Career Coaches are available for students in our Career Services office to discuss any career-related topics. Sample questions may include:
- How can I find organizations related to my interest?
- How can I get started finding a part-time/summer job?
- Where do I start when researching graduate programs?
If you're thinking about these or other quick career, job search or education questions, stop by during drop-in career advising hours! Drop-In Career Advising is being offered both in person and online - check the events calendar for the online link.
Need your resume/CV/cover letter reviewed? While we can take a brief look at your documents during the drop-in advising time, it is recommended to book a Resume Review Appointment.
