Dear Dot,
I have heard a lot about the Career Services Center lately and I know I should probably go there, but I am unsure of what I should make an appointment for and what the process is like. Can you help me figure out how I should go about making an appointment at the Career Services Center and what the appointment will be like?
Al S.
