Career Advising

30-minute sessions with career advisors are available to schedule up to two weeks in advance on Viterbi Career Gateway.

Hours: 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. (subject to advisor availability)

***DROP-IN ADVISING IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR SUMMER 2020***

Please schedule an advising appointment on Viterbi Career Gateway.

If you have a quick question, you can use the Live Chat feature in Viterbi Career Gateway and and find the "chat with an Advisor" box on the right side of the screen. This chat function can provide students basic information or answers to simple questions, Monday-Friday from 12pm-3pm.

Our counselors provide advising sessions tailored to meet individual student needs and goals.

Common topics include:

Job/internship search
Career exploration
Developing professional goals
Negotiating and evaluating job/internship offers
Networking tips
Behavioral interview prep
Resume and cover letter review (only available during drop-in hours)

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.

Workshops

Virtual workshop & Q&A sessions centered on a topic of the week. Attendees will meet with career advising staff or employer partners to learn about common career-related questions and concerns.
