How Does the Career Closet Work?

Shopping Experience
During your Career Closet appointment, you'll browse the Career Closet and select items to compose a professional outfit that you'll be able to keep for free.
Students are not limited to the amount of times they can visit the Career Closet per academic year; however, students do need to complete a Mock Interview or Resume Review appointment before scheduling their third visit to the Career Closet.
Make an Appointment
