How Career Counseling Can Help You

Our career counselors are here to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed decisions about your future. Through individualized support, we can help you:

  • Discover Your Strengths and Interests – Uncover what excites you and how your unique skills align with different career paths.
  • Explore Career Options – Learn about industries, job roles, and opportunities that fit your personal and professional goals.
  • Develop a Career Plan – Map out actionable steps, from selecting a major to landing your dream job.
  • Prepare for the Job Market – Gain insight into employer expectations, hiring trends, and how to stand out as a candidate.
  • Build Confidence for Interviews and Networking – Learn how to articulate your strengths, practice interview techniques, and connect with professionals in your field.

Whether you're choosing a major, changing career directions, or preparing for life after graduation, we are here to support you on your journey.

How to Get Started

Before booking a one-on-one career counseling appointment, students must first attend a Drop-In Session. Drop-ins provide a great opportunity to get immediate guidance on quick questions, resume feedback, and next steps. After attending a drop-in, our team will help you schedule a full Career Counseling appointment tailored to your needs.

Step 1: Attend a Drop-In Session

  • No appointment needed – just stop by during available drop-in hours.
  • Meet with a career peer for brief guidance and initial support.
  • Get answers to your questions and learn how to make the most of your career resources.

Step 2: Schedule a Career Counseling Appointment

  • After attending a drop-in, you’ll be eligible to schedule a full appointment.
  • Meet one-on-one with a career counselor for in-depth support.
  • Walk away with a personalized plan and actionable steps to move forward.
