Usually every advisor has 30-min slot bookings. The length of your appointment beyond this depends on the advisor's availability. If you would like a longer appointment, you can book 2 back-to-back slots to get 1 hour (depending on your query).

CSO Career Advisors
The CSO team works with students from all schools to support career planning, CV/résumé reviews, interview preparation, and graduate study applications, and more.
School Career Staff
Advisors based in your school who specialise in industry trends, employers, and opportunities within your field. They help translate academic experience into career pathways and connect you with faculty or alumni mentors.
Faculty
Professors can offer discipline-specific guidance on academic careers, graduate study, scholarships/funding opportunities, research pathways, and long-term field trends.
Career Peer Tutors
Trained student advisors who provide practical, peer-level support - from résumé feedback to mock interviews and tips for navigating LUMS resources.
Alumni Mentors
Graduates working in a variety of fields who share real-world insights, career tips, and sector-specific advice. Ask CSO or your school career advisors to connect you with a relevant mentor.
Other Sources of Career Support
Senior Students & Peers: Classmates and seniors can share first-hand experiences with internships, graduate applications, interviews, and specific employers.
Your Own Network: Family, community contacts, and independent research (like LinkedIn and company websites) are powerful tools.
