Drop-in Appointments
Counselors are also available for brief appointments to discuss career exploration and review internship/job search materials (Mon. to Fri., 2-4 p.m. and Wed., 7-9 p.m.).

Connect with Alumni
We connect students with alumni mentors in their potential career field, location, or academic area of interest.

Graduate School Prep
We help students explore, plan, and prepare applications to graduate school as well as advise them on writing personal statements and essays.

Job/Internship Search 
We assist with searches for internships, seasonal, part-time, or full-time employment. Students have exclusive access to the Macalester Job & Internship Database. In addition, students can practice their interview skills and learn appropriate professional etiquette.
