Career Guidance
Career Advisors are available to assist students with such career related topics as self assessment, occupational research, matching interests with WMU majors, resume critiquing, cover letter writing, job search strategies, and interviewing.

Examples of questions that you might bring to an advising session are:
How can I begin to choose a major or find a career goal that fits me?

What value does career testing have for me?

What can I do with a particular major?

Will my choice of a summer job matter in my future?

How can volunteering or involvement in activities help?

How do I go about finding an internship?

How can I use informational interviewing for networking or exploring majors and careers?

How can I put together a good job search strategy?

How do I conduct a job search outside of this area, perhaps in another state?

How can my resume be more effective with employers?

What shall I do when I feel that I need a career change?

Advising Schedule
Drop-in hours are available across campus. These drop-in sessions usually last 15-20 minutes and are ideal to talk about quick questions or to receive a basic resume critique. If other students are waiting, these sessions may be shorter than 15-20 minutes.
Career Advisors are also available for appointments if you would like to schedule a more in-depth career advising session. If you have questions about multiple career topics, you may want to schedule an appointment.
