Individual Coaching 

Every UNSW student or recent graduate has the opportunity to meet individually with a UNSW Career Coach to plan their career journey and enhance their employability. These 20-minute sessions accommodate a variety of topics including career planning, building a resume, interview preparation and job search advice.

Coaching sessions can be made up to 14 days in advance, with session times generally between 9am-5pm Monday to Friday available online (via Microsoft Teams) or in person (John Goodsell Building, Ground Floor, Reception Area, Map Ref: F20). There is a limit of one booking per week, to ensure that the Career Coaching service is accessible to as many students as possible.

Career Coaches are often booked back-to-back with appointments, please be available for your session at the booked time. If you have not been contacted for your session after 5 -10 minutes of your allocated start time, please contact employability@unsw.edu.au
