PDX.EDU/CAREERS

The University Career Center provides support to all PSU students and alumni in all aspects of their career development including: exploration, preparation and planning, job and internship searching, and making career changes and transitions through individual appointments, drop ins, workshops, classes and extensive online resources. They also maintain the job and internship portal, Handshake, and coordinate several career fairs and employer visits each academic year.

PSU uses the Handshake platform to post jobs, internships and career related events. New jobs are posted daily with a focus or regional opportunities. Handshake is a smart platform that will customize job recommendations as you use it.

PDX.EDU/WORK-STUDY

There are almost 2000 student job positions across campus in almost every office and department. Working on campus is a great way to gain experience while pursuing your educational goals. Most campus jobs are posted on the Handshake job board. The University Career Center can help you with your job search, resumés, and cover letters. Some jobs require Federal Work Study (FWS) as part of your financial aid offer.

PSU hosts career fairs, alumni panels, industry lectures, workshops, and training throughout the year. Get notifications by signing up for your academic department listserv, opting in to Handshake emails, and checking the campus events and career center workshop calendar.
