BOOKING A CONSULT WITH ALUMNI CAREER SERVICES

After you set up your alumni Handshake account, you will have access to book a time to meet with someone from our team! We are not able to provide industry-specific coaching, direct connections to employers, or placement services. You can either book through Handshake or by calling our office at (706) 542-3375.

You will have two appointment options to choose from:

Alumni Career Services First Step Session (15 minutes):
This is a consultation meeting with a member of our team to get context on your current situation and connect you to helpful resources and future coaching options.

Alumni Resume, Cover Letter, OR LinkedIn Profile Review (15 minutes): If you simply need a quick resume, cover letter, or LinkedIn profile review, we’re happy to help! This appointment is solely for a document/profile review.
