Walk-In Career Coaching

During walk-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 in person and virtually. Just drop in – no appointment needed! Average session is 20 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, with priority given to in-person clients.

The Career Studio will be closed on Memorial Day (May 29) and Juneteenth (June 19).

Hours are subject to change without notice. Walk-in hours for fall semester will begin on August 21, 2023.

For in-person peer career coaching, simply come to the Bearcat Promise Career Studio at Tangeman University Center (TUC) Room 310 during open hours. We're located on Level 300 next to PNC Bank.
