Career Design Center

YOU ARE HERE… so let’s begin!

Quick chats are open drop-in times, so students can virtually drop in whenever works best for them between noon and 2 p.m. We don't typically pre-schedule time slots, these are done on a first come first serve basis. Quick chat conversations are usually about 15 minutes long (unless there aren't other students waiting, in which case we could talk for longer.)

Here are some examples of topics that can be covered during our virtual quick chats:

• Major and career exploration 
• Designing career plans
• Strategies to gain experience while in college 
• Learning about career readiness skills 
• Seeking potential internship and job opportunities 
• Job search assistance - resumes, cover letters, and interviewing skill prep 
• Making connections with alumni and potential employers in their field 
• Selecting and applying to graduate school

Please call, stop in to Erwin 116, or email us at careers@geneseo.edu if you have any questions.
