Counseling Appointments

Counseling Appointments are in-depth sessions with our career specialist that can be made via Handshake.  You can also stop by any time during our regular office hours to make an appointment with our front desk team members, or by phone at (951) 827-3631. Go to the Career Center tab to request an appointment. We have both virtual (via Zoom) and in-person appointments available.  We cannot make appointments via email.

Drop-in Advising

Drop-in Advising are 15 minutes or less in duration and can only be made by personally stopping by the Career Center on the same day.  You can sign up for any of the available 15-minute slots and return at that time for a quick, focused answer to your question.  There are also virtual Drop-in Advising available each week. Only 1 sign-up permitted per day.  Please see the calendar below for our weekly schedule.

Interview Critique/Practice Appointments

Interview Critique/Practice Appointments are 1-hour long sessions that can be scheduled to practice interviewing with a career specialist and receive feedback to prepare for an upcoming interview.  We recommend that you schedule a virtual appointment for this practice as most interviews are now virtual, especially first rounds of interviews.
