Do You Know About Handshake?

Have you ever wished that there was one place where you can easily find jobs & internships, or discover more events that can help you grow professionally? Well, let us introduce you to Handshake! Handshake is an online platform where you can search for jobs & internships, discover beneficial events around campus, interact with recruiters, and so much more. Think LinkedIn and Indeed but specifically tailored toward students.

The good part about it being specifically for students is that you’ll be able to find opportunities that are just for you, while also making yourself visible to employers who are looking to hire students and recent grads. As a UM student, you automatically have an account so all you have to do to activate it is log in with your CaneID and password and start filling out your profile.

If you’re already on Handshake, you’re doing great! One thing that you can do is update your profile with any new experiences you’ve gained over summer so that recruiters can see all of your accomplishments!

ToppelFest 2023

We had an amazing time welcoming incoming Canes at ToppelFest 2023 and look forward to continuing to engage with you throughout your college career!

Whether you’re a new or returning Cane this year, we hope to see you at Toppel soon. Don’t wait until graduation – start a conversation with us any time! We’re here to help you explore, prepare, and connect along your career journeys!

Christine Lara

Career Coach

Meet Christine Lara, a Sophomore Engineering major with a minor in philosophy! Aside from her role as a career coach here at Toppel, she is also a part of the Association of Commuter Students and the Biomedical Engineering Society as well.

She says that the Toppel Career Center has helped her shine and achieve some of her career goals because it has helped her to step out of her comfort zone and make more connections, not only through career coaching but also by attending Toppel's career fairs.

The opportunities that she has acquired through Toppel have been her summer internship at a medical research office and shadowing a dermatologist who was a former Cane!

Piece of Advice:

“Life is like a train. Some people get off your train and new people and new opportunities also get on your train. What it tells me, is that life is full of changes, both good and bad, you just need to keep looking forward and never give up.”
