Appointment with Staff
The Career Team helps Brandeisians discover who they are, what they want and how to get there, through career and affinity hubs providing individualized career support. Meet with us for 30 or 60 minutes on topics ranging from exploring majors and career interests, reviewing application materials, internship and job searching, networking, interviewing, and graduate school or law school planning/applications.
Review team member profiles to discover more about our staff. Watch these tips to ensure you make the most out of your experience.
Make Your Appointment
Graduate students seeking career support should work directly with their program's career center. To provide optimal support, we offer one appointment per week. It's beneficial to meet with the same staff member to build a relationship.
Express Appointments with Hiatt Advisors
Express appointments (20 minutes) are for students seeking quick help with application materials, Handshake, LinkedIn and other career-related questions. Express appointments are available during the academic year when classes are in session from 12 - 4 p.m. Monday - Friday.

Our Approach
- Modern services for modern careers: The world of work is ever-evolving, and our award-winning practices are grounded in teaching flexibility around career planning and decision-making for today and tomorrow's workforce.
- Lifelong skills: Students are at the center of our mission, and our goal is to enhance your experience by helping you create and develop career-ready skills for a lifetime of meaningful work.
- Career everywhere: With career success at the core of the Brandeis mission, we collaborate and create partnerships through the Hiatt Ecosystem across campus to better support students in their career education and development.
- Commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion: Hiatt is committed to building a space that is all-inclusive, welcoming and free from bias and discrimination. We support students in considering how intersecting identities impact their work and professional development.
Your Approach
- Stay curious and engaged: There's no one-size-fits-all path or plan to follow. You're unique, and staying open to all possibilities while channeling your curiosity and engaging in activities will fuel your success.
- Be flexible and adaptable: Even the most well-intentioned plans and goals may shift over time. Hone in on your ability to adapt to new ideas and prospects.
Expectations
- You are the expert on YOU. The Hiatt staff are experts on career. Our job is to help you plan effectively and to find the information necessary to make informed decisions as they relate to your job search and career planning process.
- There is no "list" we can provide you of employers, graduate programs, jobs or contacts that are a good "fit." We can collaborate with you on the resources and strategies to develop your own list and help prepare you for successful connections with alumni, employers and graduate programs.
- Your application materials will be written by you, and only you. When you meet with us, we'll help you describe your experiences while providing review and formatting suggestions. Your applications may differ for each type of role you are applying for and will change over time. Though there is no template for you to follow, we suggest continually using the resources provided for materials on our website as well as meeting with our staff through for application-focused appointments.
- We are not a placement office. Our job is to teach you to enhance your career skill set and allow you to be able to navigate the search, application and hiring process. We will collaborate and support you along the way, to be sure that you are equipped with your own game plan to put in place to apply for positions. The same expectation is true for career fairs and networking events; it is on the student to make the most out of these opportunities.
The Hiatt Career Center welcomes and includes all students in events, programs and services.
