Know that the goal of the career counsellor is to help you with a wide range of career related issues, however, it helps for you to have a starting point.
Try to do some homework before your appointment. For example, if you have a question about applying to a program, be sure to have invested some of your own time first to try and find the answer for yourself.
Arrive on time. Your appointment is for 50 minutes and if you arrive late that time is deducted from your 50 minute appointment. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will have to reschedule your appointment.
Career counselling is a process, not a quick 50 minute fix. Plan to return and work collaboratively with your counsellor.
If you can no longer make your appointment, please take the time to email careerservices@upei.ca or call 902-566-0336 to cancel. Ideally, you would provide 24 hours notice to allow someone else the opportunity to fill the appointment time.

We will work with you to help relate your capabilities, interests, and skills to meaningful career options. Keep in mind this is a process and requires time and patience.
We will provide you with a safe, supportive and confidential environment.
In order to make progress, you will also have to be an active participant. We will explore possibilities, however, you will have to act on these to more forward.
While we have a breathe of career related knowledge, the career decision making process works much better if we help direct you to helpful career resources and then allow you to independently gather information you feel will be helpful for your career decision.

First visit the Career Services Moodle page; read and review the cover letter and resume resources we have shared on Moodle and demonstrate that you have already begun the editing process.
Read and review the interview resources we have shared on Moodle. Familiarize yourself with the job posting/educational program, employer/educational institute, begin predicting interview questions you think you may be asked in an interview, practice possible answers. If you are coming in for a mock interview, please submit the job ad to the career practitioner the day before your appointment
Read and review the job search resources we have shared on Moodle. Identify what specifically you would like help with.
Arrive on time. Your appointment is for 50 minutes and if you arrive late that time is deducted from your 50 minute appointment. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will have to reschedule your appointment.
If you can no longer make your appointment, please take the time to email careerservices@upei.ca or call 902-566-0336 to cancel. Ideally, you would provide 24 hours notice to allow someone else the opportunity to fill the appointment time.

You will work TOGETHER during your session(s), however, you will have to also work independently, to continue to develop your employment skills.
We will NOT write your cover letter or resume for you.
We are NOT an employment service. We work with you to develop job search strategies. We do not find you employment.
