Students

In your first and second year you’ll build resume writing and interviewing skills through foundational career labs, and get involved in your Career Academy to build industry knowledge and connections.

As you get further into your time at Johns Hopkins, you’ll have the opportunity to practice your personal pitch, network with companies and alumni in a field that interests you, apply for internships and experiential learning, and start working toward a successful career.

Your first steps:

Start by logging into our online career portal Handshake today to RSVP to programs, access resources, find internships and jobs. As a junior or senior, you can reserve appointments in advance. All students can (and should!) meet with our Career Coaches at drop-in appointments.
