No matter how hard we try, we rarely have all the answers—particularly when it comes to our careers and professional development. Many times we turn to friends and family for advice, but frankly, they don’t always know what they’re talking about! When you were in college, you had the robust Career Center to lean on, but now it’s been a few years since graduation and you’re not sure where to turn.
It can be tempting to simply Google, “Top Interview Questions” or “Best Resume Template,” but you may find the internet to be a contradicting and confusing place—particularly when it comes to what makes the most sense for your career and professional growth. This is even more true as you move further along in your career and need more nuanced insight and advice. So if the internet can’t be trusted and you’re not sure your parents’ advice still holds, where should you go?
Turn to the career experts that make up the Alumni Career & Professional Development team, of course! They offer, “Quick Questions,” scheduled hours that staff has set aside throughout the week when they are available to alumni. Call in or email about your pressing career questions during Quick Questions hours. Topics can include, but are not limited to, resume and cover letter reviews, interview strategy and advice, salary negotiation and networking tips. Appointments are on a first-come, first-served basis and typically last about 15 minutes. Staff is available by phone at 303-871-4331 at the following times:
