New Career Resource

The Graduate Center’s Career Services Team is happy to announce that we’ve moved our services over to Handshake. Handshake is a website where college students can build professional profiles, apply for jobs, and be discovered by professional recruiters. It’s a little like LinkedIn, but for university students. I actually got this job by applying to a listing on Handshake, and I use the site to keep up with career fairs, professional development seminars, and potential jobs.

You can use our new Handshake portal to sign up for résumé workshops, schedule career advising sessions, find a professional community with our Graduate Student Career Groups, and more. The nice thing about having our system on Handshake is that you can get help from career development professionals on the very site where your professional persona lives.

Our services are open to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, who should all be able to create a Handshake account. If you encounter any difficulties with account creation, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. To find our services, just open Handshake, log in, and click on the University of Arizona Career Center link that should appear near the bottom of your screen. That will take you to the University of Arizona’s main Career Center page. Then just go to the Career Centers panel and select Graduate Center from the options listed, and you’re there! We hope you’ll find something of use to you.
