Career Services, Handshake, and Save-the-Dates

Career Services offers comprehensive services to all students at Drake! We can help students: 

• Explore majors and careers, using career assessment tools 
• Meet potential internship providers and employers at career events 
• Plan for graduate and professional school 
• Develop a resume, cover letter, interview skills, and portfolios 
• And more! 

Career Services also uses Handshake, a career management platform, to connect students with graduate/professional programs and employers. All students already have a Handshake account and need only sign in to complete their profile. To access Handshake, students must log into myDrake, click Campus Resources, then select the Handshake icon. Students can also download the Handshake app from Google Play or App Store. Students with a full Handshake profile are 5x as likely to be messaged by employers!
