What is Career Quick Stop?
During Career Quick Stop students meet with a career coach on a first-come, first-served basis for brief 15-minute career coaching sessions.

Instead, they offer students a chance to connect with a coach for timely questions or concerns that may not require a full appointment.

What kinds of topics are typically addressed during Quick Stop?
- Initial resume or cover letter reviews
- Questions about internships or Augsburg Experience
- Getting started with major or career exploration
- Quick questions about upcoming events, job fairs, and employer visits
- And much more!
