Get Career Support

How can a career counselor help you?

Meet with a Career Counselor to discuss your personal career search and to learn about the resources that are available to you as a student.

Career counselors help students with their career plans and job search. They provide support and guidance to achieve career goals. Here’s how they can help:

• Resume and Cover Letter Help: Teach you how to write and improve your resume and cover letter.
• Interview Preparation: Practice common interview questions and help you feel confident.
• Job Search Strategies: Show you how to find jobs and internships, and how to network.
• Understanding U.S. Work Culture: Explain workplace norms and professional communication.
• Career Planning: Help you set career goals and explore career options.
• Graduate School Documents and Decisions: Help you with your graduate school applications, including reviewing personal statements and preparing required documents.
• Evaluate Offers: You are advised to consult a career counselor before you accept an offer.
