Appointment Booking Etiquette

As you are aware, we have implemented a new appointment booking system called WaitWell, which you can now use to book an appointment with your Work Experience Coordinator! Here are a few tips to consider when booking your appointment so AWE staff can effectively prepare and  tailor your appointment to your needs;

Select ONLY ONE and the right appointment type - There are several types of appointments available to you but you should only choose one appointment type per booking to ensure your Work Experience Coordinator can address your needs. Here are some of the appointment types you can book

• AWE program and eligibility - discuss your questions about AWE and your eligibility for participating

• Career advising - discuss your career questions, goals and possible job options you may be interested in pursuing

• General program support - discuss questions or concerns related to your AWE enrollment

• Job search support - discuss what type of positions you should be targeting or follow up with your Work Experience Coordinator if you have applied to several roles with no interview requests 

• Mock interview - for interview tips and tricks to better prepare for a potential or scheduled interview

• Resume and cover letter review - learn ways to enhance and improve your work search documents

Provide as much relevant information as possible - After you select your appointment type you can enter additional information in the booking form under the field labelled ‘Is there anything else you would like to discuss?’. If you are booking an appointment for program information and eligibility, career advising, general support or job search support please provide some details about what questions or concerns you have e.g. Why are you booking this appointment? If you are booking a mock interview or resume and cover letter review it can be helpful to include a link for the job posting or some information about the job opportunity so your Work Experience Coordinator can prepare tailored advice and possible interview questions.

Upload any relevant documents - When booking an appointment for a resume and cover letter review it is mandatory to upload your work search documents in the booking form or email your documents 1 business day prior to your appointment. Your Work Experience Coordinator will review your documents before your appointment to prepare feedback for you. If your documents are not attached or emailed in advance of your appointment,  your appointment may be cancelled so please ensure you complete this critical step of the process!

Pro Tip: Remember you can always reach out to your Work Experience Coordinator if you are unsure what type of appointment or support you need or contact artsworkexperience@ualberta.ca to get further information on the services we offer.

When your Work Experience Coordinator has all the relevant information and documents for your appointment they can better prepare tailored suggestions and provide you with the best support possible for your AWE journey.
