Q. Do I have to make an appointment to see someone in the Career Center?

A.  The Career Center is staffed with Career Assistants who are trained to assist students with all aspects of the career development process.  They can assist you on a walk-in basis including resume and cover letter critiquing.  If you wish to see a Career Counselor, you would need to schedule an appointment or drop by during walk in hours.

Q.  What kind of testing do you offer?  Is there a fee for the test?
