1536 University Career Services - Associate’s Level


Return to: 1500 Student Life and Services  

University Career Services (UCS) at both the downtown and Perimeter College campuses provides programs, services, information, and counseling to assist students with career decisions, as well as preparation for and implementation of successful job searches. Career Services at Perimeter supports all campus locations as well as the online student population, and serves students from all majors and areas of study. UCS also assists employers with increasing their candidate pool and talent pipeline by sharing their employment opportunities with our student body and alumni with limited or no associated cost for our services.

One-on-one career development appointments are available to help students with resume writing and job search letter development, skills assessment, and interview preparation. Individual and group sessions are offered, always with the goal of helping students connect their passion and purpose with career opportunities. Programs and materials, employer panels, employer information sessions, and career fairs provide up-to-date information for use in exploring careers and researching employers.

All Georgia State University students have an account on Handshake (gsu.joinhandshake.com), a web-and app-based career management system utilized by students, employers and the career services staff. Handshake is free to all enrolled students. Activation of the account (completing a profile and uploading a resume if seeking employment) provides 24/7 on and off-campus access to many of Career Services’ online resources, as well as easy application to jobs, and information about career events and employers. Activation requires use of one’s campus ID and password and can be done remotely.

Students interested in scheduling an appointment or viewing job posting can complete their online student profile on Handshake and access additional resources.
