Career consulting
The Fleishman Career Center team completes over 6,500+ consulting sessions annually to support Binghamton students on a broad range of career-related topics, including:
- Career and major exploration
- Resume and cover letter reviews
- Interview preparation and mock interviews
- Personal statement reviews
- Navigating a job and internship search
- Graduate school applications
- Negotiating a job offer
- Part-time job searches
- Finding internships, research and other opportunities
- Networking and using LinkedIn
- And more
Career consulting sessions are 1:1 meetings where students have a space to ask questions and get advice about any career topic. Career center staff members educate students on best practices and provide tailored advice and recommendations based on the student’s individual circumstances and needs. Staff approach the sessions as working meetings and ensure the students leave with tangible next steps and resources. Whether a student is looking for support in getting started with their first cover letter or preparing for a final round interview, career center staff can answer questions and help the student succeed.
Faculty and staff who are working with a student that would benefit from a career consulting session can refer them to the Fleishman Career Center using our referral form. A staff member will then reach out to the student and help them schedule an appointment.
Alumni who graduated less than 6 months ago can take advantage of career consulting appointments to help them finish their job search and/or graduate school applications. Schedule in hireBING or email careers@binghamton.edu.
Scheduling an Appointment
The Fleishman Career Center offers flexible appointment scheduling options. Students can select in-person or virtual appointments to best match their schedules and preferences. The Fleishman Career Center is open year-round, meaning students can also meet with career consultants during summer and winter breaks.
To pre-schedule an appointment:
- Log into hireBING by Handshake using your Binghamton credentials
- Click the “Career Center” tab
- Click “Appointments”
- Click “Schedule a new appointment”
- Select if you are a graduate or undergraduate student
- Select the topic you were hoping to discuss as your appointment type. If you do not see a topic that matches your question, select “other.”
- Select an appointment slot that matches your availability and schedule.
If you are having trouble scheduling an appointment through hireBING, please email careers@binghamton.edu and a staff member will reach out to help you.
Walk-ins
During the semester, students can stop by UU-133 for a walk-in appointment. Walk-ins are offered in-person between the hours of noon–4 p.m. Students can utilize walk-in appointments for any career-related topic. These 20-minute sessions are slightly shorter than pre-scheduled appointments (which are 30-minute slots), so they are perfect for students with quick career questions, or can be a great place to start before scheduling an appointment.
