Advising Appointments vs. Drop-In Hours

• Advising Appointments: Appointments scheduled in advance with a Viterbi career advisor, You meet on your scheduled date and time for 30 minutes to discuss your career questions. You can make as many appointments as you like, but can only make one at a time. Times are subject to advisor availability.
• Drop-In Hours: A set period of time each day that VCC has "open" time for students to drop in and ask any questions they have. These sessions are first-come, first-served and are shorter, so they are reserved for quick questions or resume and cover letter review. Students can drop-in as often as they want, and come back to have new questions answered!

• Sessions are meant to open a dialogue about the steps you can take to find professional success during and after college.
• Advisors may ask for information about your major, class standing, and what you are most interested in discussing during your session.
• You can expect to explore professional career, internship or graduate school opportunities, create action items regarding your career and internship process, or have your career-related questions answered.
• Make sure to come prepared with questions or printed materials such as resumes, cover letters, or personal statements for review.
