Students

As a Marshall or Leventhal major, we encourage you to schedule a one-on-one career advising appointment, no matter where you are in your career journey. We will work with you to develop an individual career strategy, share available resources and show you how to prepare for the different recruiting and networking activities on campus. Whether you are still exploring different job functions and industries, preparing for your first internship interview, or you are excited about negotiating a full time job offer, we are here to support you!

Need help with your resume, networking tips, or interview prep? Meet with a Peer Career Advisor (PCA)!
Our PCAs are senior students who have just completed highly selective internships and are here to share what they have learned. Whether you are navigating the technical interviews for product management roles, prepping for case style interviews in consulting, or exploring other career paths, there is a PCA who can help.

We have both specialized PCAs (experts in consulting) and PCA Generalists who support a wide range of industries and career interests in entertainment, tech, real estate and more!

They can help you:

• Refine your resume and cover letter
• Practice for interviews
• Build networking strategies

Don't miss the chance to get advice from someone who has been in your shoes! Schedule a meeting in Handshake during the school year.
