Career Center in Handshake

In Handshake's Career Center section, you can schedule appointments with a professional career coach or (in some cases) your co-op faculty advisor. You will also find articles, guides, and other resources provided by your career center.

Schedule an Appointment

In Handshake, you can schedule an appointment with a professional career coach to discuss topics including personality and career assessments, internship search, job search, mock interview practice, graduate school preparation and more.

If you are in a mandatory co-op program, you can request an appointment with your co-op faculty advisor through Handshake. (If you do not see an Appointment Type to meet with your co-op faculty advisor, reach out to your advisor to ask how they want to receive appointment requests.)

  1. From your homepage, click Career Center on the top navigation bar.
  2. Select Appointments, followed by Schedule a New Appointment.
  3. Choose the appointment type and select an available time slot.

Appointments must be scheduled at least 24 hours before the requested start time.
