How to get the Most From Your Appointment

Career coaching is a team sport: your Career Success Coach will teach you strategies and point you to resources so you can make informed decisions about your professional development journey and feel empowered to take action.

Prioritize
Consider your goals for the coaching session. Many people have several concerns and hope they will all be resolved in one appointment. It's helpful to remember that career coaching is a process that takes time and requires patience. Select the appointment type that best reflects what you need most at this time. You can always schedule another appointment later as your needs change!

Arrive on time
Find out where the appointment will take place, and even visit the location beforehand so you know where you are going and how to get there. If you are running late, please call our office or email your Career Success Coach directly. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your appointment, we will need to re-schedule.

Come back
The first appointment is just the beginning. Career Success Coaches can offer relevant support for every phase of your professional life in college and beyond. Your goals, interests and needs are likely to evolve over time, raising new questions and concerns. A return visit with your coach can help you accomplish your goals and keep moving toward a satisfying career.

Career Coaching

Career coaching helps you examine your needs and shares strategies, tactics and resources that align with those needs. Our Career Success Coaches are focused on YOU and what’s important to you.
