Walk-In Career Coaching

During drop-in hours, you'll meet with a trained peer career coach. Peer career coaches provide personal attention, sound advice and relevant resources. They'll work one-on-one with you on things like:

• Resume writing and review
• Curriculum vitae (CV) writing and review
  
• Cover letters
• Job search process
• Mock interviews
• Elevator pitch practice
• Networking strategies
• LinkedIn and Handshake profile review

Peer career coaching is available both virtually and in person. Just drop in – no appointment needed! Average visit time is 30 minutes, but you can take as much or as little time as you need and come back as often as you want. The service is first-come, first served.

*Students can access peer career coaching virtually on these days, but we make it a priority to serve in-person clients first, so there may be a slight delay.

For in-person peer career coaching, simply come to the Bearcat Promise Career Studio at Tangeman University Center (TUC) Room 310 during in-person hours (see table above).

Virtual "walk-in" services for alumni consist of electronic document reviews or a video call in Cisco WebEx or Microsoft Teams.
