Individual, confidential career counseling is available by appointment and through weekly drop-in hours.

We encourage students to schedule appointments during the first term of the first year, and as often as needed. Students are invited to seek general advice on career development, employment opportunities, skills assessment, networking strategies, career exploration, cover letter and resume review, job search strategies and resources, and orientation to CDO resources.

Individual Appointments

Meetings with Director Peter Otis and Associate Director Kathy Douglas can be scheduled through Mariann Adams in room 9 or through email at mariann.adams@yale.edu. Alternately, email Peter at peter.otis@yale.edu and Kathy at kathryn.douglas@yale.edu directly, or stop by to schedule appointments.
