Virtual Drop-Ins will begin the week of February 1. If you would rather meet with a career coach, please follow the instructions under "I would like a career coaching appointment."

2. Click this link to access the drop-in room: https://lvc-edu.zoom.us/my/breen.center
3. When you click on the link, you will be placed in the waiting room. Wait for a Breen Center staff member to admit you into the meeting.
4. Be prepared to provide your email address and the reason for attending drop-ins to the Breen Center staff member, to get you checked in. Also, have your document ready to share on your screen or email to the staff member. 

It is encouraged to turn on your video and microphone, to get the most out of your drop-in session.

If you have any questions or concerns about receiving help, please contact breencenter@lvc.edu, or individually using the contact information here.

• If you would like to have a document reviewed by a career coach, please email a word, google doc, or an Office 365 document to breencenter@lvc.edu. Please do not email PDFs, as we cannot manipulate the content in a PDF. Our policy: we will provide your reviewed document back within 2-3 business days. 
• Once a document is received, a career coach will review it and contact you directly with feedback, to set up a potential virtual conference, and/or discuss further steps.
• If you already work with a career coach, you will be encouraged to continue working together using a variety of means (Zoom, email, phone, etc.).
• All drop-in hours are being offered virtually for the spring semester.
