Did you know the UMD Career Center hosts free DROP-IN APPOINTMENTS?
You can drop in Monday-Friday anytime between 1:00 - 3:30pm. in the University Career Center (3rd floor - Hornbake) to meet with a Peer Career Educator. No appointment necessary
Drop-ins are for quick questions and tips on the following topics:
- Resumes & Cover Letters
- Basic job/internship search strategies
- Basic networking strategies (LinkedIn, Terrapins Connect)
- Interview preparation
Peer Career Educators support undergraduate students of all majors. Drop-ins will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis and it is not guaranteed you can be seen if drop-ins are especially busy that day. To maximize your drop-in experience for resume and cover letter reviews, please bring a printed hard-copy with you.**
