In a Rush to Talk to a Career Counselor?

It’s Monday morning, and you’ve got a job interview Tuesday afternoon. You’ve been working on your resume, but you’re not quite sure if it’s stellar. With the economy currently in shambles, you know that if anyone’s hiring, they’re going to be searching for the best and brightest, and you want to make sure your resume reflects how qualified you are. But if you call the Career Services Center to make an appointment for the next day, your chances of finding a last-minute opening are slim. While we recommend that students call at least a week in advance to schedule an appointment with a counselor, we get that you’re a busy college student, and you may not have had the chance to do so. That’s why we have Drop-Ins!

Drop-Ins are an easy way to quickly come by our office without having to make an appointment. Drop-Ins are a great opportunity to get your resume or cover letter reviewed or to ask a counselor a quick question that wouldn’t warrant scheduling a longer appointment. While Drop-Ins are a fabulous invention, they do not properly substitute actual appointments. They’re only 15 minutes, and they’re first-come, first-serve. That means that you may not call us during Drop-Ins to save you a spot! Also, if you wait until the last minute to our center for help, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to receive it, since Drop-Ins can fill up rapidly, so make sure to try and arrive a few minutes before they start. We have Drop-Ins five days per week, and we even hold additional evening Drop-In sessions twice every week:

Monday: 2-4pm
Tuesday: 2-4pm and 5-7pm
Wednesday: 2-4pm and 5-7pm
Thursday: 2-4pm
Friday: 1-3pm

If you’ve never been to the Career Services Center before and need some resume help, or are just curious, we recommend that you come visit us during Drop-In hours.

Hope to see you soon!
