Upon entering Zoom, you may not immediately be able to join the meeting if a consultant is meeting with another student. Please note, if this happens students will be placed into a queue and greeted based on their original arrival time.
If you find yourself waiting more than 20 minutes, please email the Career Center at ccpd@umw.edu as sometimes Zoom does not notify us that there is someone in the waiting room.

Another way for students to have their resume and/or cover letter reviewed is to email their documents to ccpd@umw.edu.
