Jobs and Internships

Handshake


Student Login
Utica University's career management system is powered by Handshake.  This system offers many features including:

  • Access to internship and job opportunities from both our employer partners and from employers around the country.*
  • The ability to create your professional profile and post your resume for employers to find and recruit you.
  • Registration to The Center’s events and workshops, as well as employer events and information sessions.
  • Scheduling appointments with your Career Coach and the Campus Employment Coordinator. 
  • A fully functional mobile app (search for Handshake), available in the App Store or GooglePlay.

Questions? Contact The Center or visit the help guide.

* Please note: While we review and vet opportunities from our employer partners, always be diligent about conducting your own review of all employers and their opportunities.  If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.  Likewise, never give out personal information like social security numbers, bank accounts, etc.  If you believe an employer or an opportunity is fraudulent, notify The Center immediately.


Resume and Reference Guide
An important first step in the job search process is the development of a professional resume, highlighting education, skills, experience, and qualifications. Make an appointment with a career coach in The Thurston Center for Career Readiness for an individualized resume critique.*



Cover Letter Guide
Cover letters are frequently used correspondence during the job search process.  They typically accompany resumes and should be tailored to reflect the specific positions to which you apply. The Thurston Center for Career Readiness provides individualized critiques of cover letters.*


Interviewing and Thank You Letter Guide
An interview is your opportunity to communicate your experience, qualifications, personality, and enthusiasm about the position. The Thurston Center for Career Readiness can assist by conducting mock interviews and helping to prepare answers to commonly asked interview questions. After the interview, following up with a thank you letter is a professional and courteous gesture. The Center for Career and Professional Development will also critique your thank you letters.*

* A minimum of three business days is required for a document critique; time will vary based on critique volume.
