Virtual Career Planning Appointments
Career Planning Appointments are 30-minute individual sessions with a career coach. In a Career Planning Appointment, you can talk to your career coach about anything related to your career. Career Planning appointments are suggested for more in-depth, personalized questions and strategies about your career goals. We currently have nine Career Planning topics to choose from:
- Choosing/Changing Your Major
- Exploring Career Options
- Finding/Discussing Your Career Interests, Strengths and Values
- Finding Meaningful Experience (Internship, Part-Time work, Shadowing, Volunteering, Research etc.)
- Developing Your Network/Community (Networking, LinkedIn, Finding a Mentor)
- Developing Your Resume, Cover Letter, Personal Statement or E-Portfolio
- Graduate School Exploration/Preparation
- Finding/Preparing for a Full-Time Job
- Preparing for Interviews
You can schedule your Career Planning Appointment through Gator CareerLink.
