Career appointments are available to all CEU students and alumni and offer an opportunity to ask questions, explore ideas, and talk things through with a member of the CEU Career Services Office team.
Topics for career advising sessions include:
- Identifying your strengths and interest areas;
- Exploring possible career paths;
- Pursuing opportunities to obtain professionally relevant knowledge and skills through practice-based learning opportunities such as internships and consultancies;
- Creating, expanding, and managing your network of personal careers advisors;
- Crafting tailored application materials;
- Preparing for interviews;
- Reviewing your LinkedIn presence;
- Conducting salary negotiations;
- Making career-related decisions.
Additionally, we offer Application clinic appointments: these shorter, 20-minute consultations are there to discuss your application materials and processes such as CVs, cover letters, personal statements, interview preparation, and basic job/internship search.
We are now using the career platform Handshake, please use this link to book a career appointment!
- If you are a student, you should be able to activate your Handshake account using CEU's single sign-on (SSO)
- If you are alumni who graduated in 2024, use the private email address you provided on your graduation form
- Pre-2024 alumni and those who did not provide a private email on the graduation form need to register before booking an appointment. Note that Handshake will ask you to provide a .edu email address when registering. If you can't access your CEU alumni email account, please ignore this and use any private email account.
Registrations with CEU alumni email addresses are auto-approved instantly. We are aiming to approve all other registrations within two working days. If you want to book a consultation urgently, email us directly at ceucareers@ceu.edu.
Once logged in to Handshake, you will find the appointment booking options under the Career Centre menu.
Bookings open two weeks in advance, and you can book up to 23 hours prior to a slot. If you have any further questions, please email ceucareers@ceu.edu.
***
No-show policy: If you do not attend two pre-booked career appointments (online or in person), you will not be allowed to book a new consultation for 4 weeks. Appointments cancelled up to an hour before the start time do not count as no-shows.
We are implementing this policy out of respect for your career adviser’s time, and out of a commitment to equity and equal access to our in-demand services for all CEU students.
(MS in Business Analytics and MS in Finance students: please get in touch with Krisztina Szarvas via szarvask@ceu.edu directly for booking a consultation)
