There are times when asking for help may lead you to someone who could direct you to an open position in their department or another opportunity. You could also be directed to an event where you can meet others. For instance, if you are struggling to find a career in your area of study, a career counsellor can recommend visiting a career fair, especially one specific to your faculty or program. This is a chance to network and talk to people who have experience working in a field related to your degree.
