UCLA Career Center

The UCLA Career Center offers Drop In and Appointment Counseling at various times throughout the year. Drop In Counseling is a great opportunity to meet one-on-one with a career counselor without a prior appointment and is the first step in the counseling process. This counseling session can address many of your needs, including a resume or cover letter critique. It will also determine your need for further counseling.

Drop In Counseling lasts approximately 15 minutes and is on a first-come, first-serve basis (you must sign up in person). Make sure you allow time to wait (particularly in the last hour of Drop In Counseling) in case other people have signed up ahead of you. You may come to Drop In Counseling as many times as you like.

Please also note the following:

	Sometimes, Drop In Counseling hours change because of special events. If you're making a special trip, call us at the UCLA Career Center at 310.206.1915 to confirm that the schedule hasn't changed (due to circumstances beyond our control).

	As a rule, our early mornings are not as busy. So try and show up then. Sometimes we have to close up the sign-in sheet earlier than we want to because we have to accommodate all of the students who have already signed in for the day.

	After attending a Drop In Counseling session, it might be determined that you need Appointment Counseling. If so, you can schedule your first Appointment Counseling session online. Available times for the following week are posted at 6pm each Thursday. Appointments go quickly so make sure to log on promptly!

	Drop-In and Appointment Counseling are available only to eligible users of the UCLA Career Center.
