Arts & Sciences, Engineering and SMFA undergraduate and graduate alumni can schedule 50 minute appointments by phone or Zoom with an alumni career advisor through our Handshake system. Daily and evening hours are available. Tufts Graduate and Professional School alumni should check their career center's website for advising options.
CAREER ADVISING POLICY:
Appropriate topics for career advising appointments include discussions about career exploration and self-assessment, career search, job search strategy, interviewing, resume and cover letter review, and graduate school statement review. While there are no defined limits on frequency and overall number of appointments, our advising seeks to identify and achieve realistic goals with our alumni. The advising staff reserves the right to limit appointments based on wait times. Appointments are free of charge and are typically conducted by phone and online through Zoom. Tufts Alumni Career Advisors do not provide mental health counseling, legal advice or consultation on business start-ups.
