DROP-IN VERSUS APPOINTMENT: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

An appointment takes about 45 minutes and is a time for you to work in-depth, one-on-one with a career coach, faculty fellow or industry fellow to spend time on your resume, practice interview skills or get coaching and guidance.

A drop-in is an opportunity to meet with a trained Peer Career Consultant and ask any clarifying questions, get directed to resources or events or get a fresh set of eyes on your resume, LinkedIn or Handshake and cover letter. We are available for drop-ins from 2pm-4pm Mondays through Fridays this semester!
