Drop-In Career Help
At the MU Career Center, we recognize that students have incredibly busy schedules. So we can better work with student schedules, the MU Career Center offers drop in services. Mizzou students can drop in whenever they have a free moment Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the semester. No appointment is necessary and the best part is that it is completely FREE for MU students! Our services are all provided by highly-trained paraprofessionals (MU student peers) and include résumé reviews, interview prep, LinkedIn profile consultations, career and major exploration conversations, job-search, and much more! We are located in the lower level of the Student Success Center and can’t wait for students to come by.
The MU Career Center is only closed during fall, winter and spring break, with reduced hours during the summer. Check out the News and Events section of our website for the most up-to-date information!

Do you know students struggling to balance work life and personal life or to make career/major decisions? Let them know about the FREE Career Counseling available for students at the MU Career Center! This is a service that goes beyond our regular drop-ins with career specialists to provide students with ongoing one-on-one support. There are five Career Counselors now taking appointments, ready to assist students with a variety of career and personal-related concerns.
Students can sign up through MU Connect for a 30 minute intake session with one of our counselors (use the "Services” Tab and search for Career Counseling in the search bar). Call 573-882-6801 if you have questions or need assistance with helping a student make an appointment.

- Attend an upcoming training session in September (7th & 11th)! These 3-hour training sessions will be our standard training for membership in the network going forward, and it will consist of three modules: 1) Introduction to Career Services at MU, 2) Helping Students: Tips & Tools, and 3) Resources & Referrals. Registration, dates, and times for the two sessions can be found on the MU Career Development Network page.*
