Get to know the Career Coaches
Hello! We are hopeful that you have already met a career coach during orientation, workshops, seminars, or classes. We’re also available to meet you individually for all of your unique needs. Our services are free and we encourage to meet with us several times while you’re exploring professional paths and searching for internships and jobs.
There are three main ways to meet with a coach:
- Chat us in Microsoft Teams for quick questions.
- Attend EMP Career Coach Online Office Hours for advice and feedback most weekdays while classes are in session.
- Schedule an appointment in Handshake for any career or professional development topic, including practice interviews and career exploration.
- To get started, search any of the coaches listed on this page in Duke’s MS Teams directory and send your note.Pro Tip: Ask questions that could easily be answered in ten minutes or less. Bigger questions and document feedback are best for Office Hours and Appointments, with details below.Duke MS Teams
