You are expected to contact your Career Services Office (CSO) advisor to learn, in detail, how the CSO can assist you with your particular job search needs. The consultation will lay the foundation for a positive working relationship that will assist you in getting an education-related job after graduation.
Please login to My Compass to My Career through your student portal to learn how to reach your Career Advisor. Once inside My Compass to My Career, click on the small round phone icon in the top right corner of the home page to be directed to contact information.
For more information on required and optional topics that will be covered during the CSO Consultation, please refer to the Week 6 CSO Consultation Checklist and the Week 6 CSO Consultation Info Sheet which are both available in Doc Sharing. Once you have completed the CSO Consultation, your Career Services advisor will give you a confirmation number. Make note of this number so that you can enter it into the CSO Consultation Questionnaire.
Go to the CSO Consultation Questionnaire under Week 6 to enter your confirmation number.
