COM Career Services provides career coaching to help students find and prepare for jobs and internships now, so they can have the careers they want long-term. Our coaches are adept at navigating the communications job market and will be valuable resources in achieving your career goals. However, career coaching on its own will not get you a job: you must research positions, consider career options, and network on your own as well.
Below are the various types of appointments students and alumni can schedule to develop their careers.
