There are several ways to get in person career advice! Depending on your field of interest, you can join an industry group where you can network with people working in the field. Another suggestion for getting valuable career advice is also through volunteering. For example, if you are looking for a job in healthcare, volunteer at a hospital to meet people working in the industry and also learn more about the skills that you enjoy in that industry. The more you get to experience the more you'll start to figure out the next steps on your career journey.

To find career advice in person, explore various resources such as college career centers, professional networking events, job fairs, and alumni associations for college students and graduates. Additionally, consider joining professional organizations, seeking mentorship programs, and connecting with local chambers of commerce and nonprofit organizations. Public libraries may offer career resources, and government employment agencies can provide job search assistance. Private career counseling services are an option for personalized guidance. Community colleges often provide career services, and attending workshops, seminars, and industry conferences can offer valuable networking and advice opportunities. When seeking in-person career guidance, be proactive, prepare questions, and be open to networking for potential insights and job prospects.

Many colleges and universities have career centers, where you can gain information on various jobs, educational skills, applications and market trends in the various markets and industries.
States and counties also have job centers, where you can review the various job openings, take courses on employment application procedures, and obtain general information.
So, these might be good options where you can get the information you are seeking.

Sure, you can pop into a staffing agency, swing by a job fair, or even chat with a career counselor at your school for some face-to-face career guidance. If there's a particular career that's caught your eye, why not connect with professionals in that field right in your local area? They might just have a moment to answer a couple of your questions. Remember, there's no harm in asking. It's always worth a shot!
