About the Career Resource Center

The Career Resource Center (CRC) helps students and alumni set career goals, develop résumés, prepare for interviews, and search for part-time student jobs, professional employment, summer jobs, and internships. Career coaches meet with students in person and virtually to discuss:

career options, exploration, and decision making
professional job search strategies
recommendations, interviewing and effective self-promotion
choosing a major and job opportunities related to a program/major
finding internships, employment off campus, and summer jobs
graduate school exploration and applications

Students are encouraged to meet with a career coach early in their years at Lesley. In addition to providing career coaching, the CRC offers workshops on job search topics and panels featuring Lesley alumni and employers.

Handshake

To schedule a career coaching appointment, students should use Handshake–an online, one-stop resource. Handshake also contains a Resource section with information that helps students to:

explore professional positions
discover summer opportunities
find off-campus student employment
learn about local job fairs
search for internships
browse CRC career events and job fairs

The Resource section also includes information on resumes, cover letter templates, interview questions for Lesley programs, and more.

Using Handshake

To access Handshake, go to lesley.joinhandshake.com. Sign in using your Lesley username and password. Then, respond to the profile questions.

Appointments

If you would like to schedule an appointment, click on "Career Center" from your Handshake home page, and then click on "Appointments."

Alumni Access

After completing their degree, students continue to have access to Handshake and alumni and can also schedule career coaching appointments.

If you graduated in 2018 or before, go to Handshake and click on "Sign up here" in the upper right. Lesley graduates can use their Lesley or personal email address.

Alumni who graduated from Lesley more than one year ago are limited to three appointments per

year (July 1 to June 30).
