Career Services

Career Services helps Penn students define their career goals and take the steps necessary to achieve them.

Penn Career Services helps students with all aspects of their career journey, from the exploration phase (exploring career interests and learning about industries and job functions) to creating strong resumes and cover letters, refining interviewing skills, and negotiating offers. Professional advisors are also available to assist students in applying to graduate and professional school programs. Career Services offers a wide array of skill-building workshops, a large number of online resources and a variety of ways for students to connect with employers including interview schedules, career fairs, employer information sessions, and a robust job and internship board. New Penn students will gain access to Career Services, including the ability to access the main Career Services platform, Handshake, and schedule appointments with career and pre-graduate school advisors once their first semester has officially started.
