How to make the most of your appointment

Review the following information to ensure your individual coaching session is valuable:

  • Complete your pre-coaching survey with as much detail as possible.
    • The more detail you provide, the more we are able to prepare for your session.
  • Upload a copy of your most current resume or CV to the “My Documents” tab of your Handshake profile prior to your coaching session.
    • Don’t worry about it being perfect or fully up-to-date, we just want to have it as a starting point for our meeting.
    • If you do not have a resume or are looking for a resume template, you can start here.
  • Review our Virtual Career Toolkit to familiarize yourself with the career management resources available to you.
    • This will ensure the time spent with your coach is dedicated to topics specific to your career path and search strategies.
  • If you need to cancel your appointment, please do so in Handshake to ensure your time slot can be offered to another student.
    • Coaching sessions are in high demand, but we understand if your schedule changes! You can always reschedule.
