How to Make an Appointment

Careers appointments are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays during term time (September to June) and can be booked through the online appointment calendar. 

Appointments are 30 minutes in duration. 

There are two steps to making an appointment.

Step 1: Book a time on the Careers Calendar

  • The available times will open in a new window, showing you the options for Tuesdays and Thursdays. Once you select the time, a box will appear for you to enter your First name, Surname, Email address and whether a zoom call is required.
  • Enter your details in the appropriate boxes. If you would like an appointment over zoom, enter Yes in the box “Zoom call required”. If you want an in-person appointment, you can leave this blank.
  • Click on the blue “Book” button.
  • The box will now show a blue tick and text “Booking confirmed”, along with confirmation of the date and time. Once confirmed, the appointment will be scheduled in your Google calendar.
  • If you need to change or cancel the appointment, select Cancel your appointment in blue text. Click on Confirm.
  • The box will now show a red X and text Appointment cancelled. You can close the tab.

Step 2: Complete the NCAD Careers Appointment Booking Form

  • The form asks for your email, name, course of study, year of study/graduation, complete each field.
  • You will have the option to choose what you would like to discuss during your session from the drop down menu.
  • If you are looking for CV and cover letter feedback, you will be able to upload your CV, cover letter, and job description through the form.
