[nabs-l] Questions Regarding Campus Career Services

[Miso Kwak]

Hi Elizabeth,
I am sorry that you experienced this.

I have used my university's career service only 2 or 3 times, and my
experience was mostly positive, so I cannot relate 100% but if
something like this happened to me, I would consider talking either to
the counselor's supervisor or the university's disability service
office.
