• Informational interviews — share or learn about a position, organization, or industry.
• Job shadows — host a student or be hosted for an inside look at a job and company.
• Mentorships — meet 3–4 times over several months to share advice.

Individual career guidance

For individual career guidance, we encourage you to connect with your graduate faculty advisor or the career center of your undergraduate alma mater, or consult our list of local independent career counseling professionals.
