Gain Experience

• Internships are valuable learning experiences for students and are a great way to gain the experience and skills you'll need for your next job. Internships can involve a wide range of business activities within many types of organizations: start-ups, small to large companies, government agencies, and nonprofits. In addition to full-time summer internships, internships are available throughout the academic year. They can be 10 to 20 hours per week, offer an hourly wage (or stipend), can offer a flexible schedule, and typically last about three months. 
• Gain leadership experience and network with community members by joining a student organization. Groups are organized by industry, job function, or interest and you can plug into an existing group or start a new group.
• Shed light on your skills and potentially win a prize. Business program competitions range from pitching your startup idea to competing against teams from other schools in case competitions. All these experiences are great additions to your resume, especially if you do not have a lot of professional experience in your industry.
• Mock Interviews: Interviewing for jobs can be intimidating and we want you to be as prepared as possible. We offer the opportunity to practice your skills in a few formats, including interviews with a real recruiter, a mock phone interview, a private, one-on-one in-person mock interview, or a private, one-on-one videotaped Zoom interview with your career coach, so you can review it immediately afterward.
• Informational Interviews: When you meet with a professional contact you get insight into the nature of their job, an insider's view of their company, and their advice. We will teach you to how to secure informational interviews, how to make the most of them, and how to use them to build a broader professional network. Sometimes, your Career Coach can even make an introduction on your behalf.
• Mentoring: The Professional Mentor program matches business students with industry professionals for a full year of engagement and mentorship.

Ways for Students to Connect with Employers

• On-Campus Recruiting & Company Visits: Employers seeking to increase awareness of their company among business students conduct information sessions on campus. Many of these recruiters have an established relationship with our program and seek to hire our students every year. Company information sessions are a great way to get an insider’s look at a particular company’s culture, its recruiting timeline, the qualities they value most when hiring, and details about the different roles available to you. Many companies also follow these with on-campus interviews.
• Career Panels & Roundtables: Learn about a variety of fields that may interest you by having small group conversations with professionals working in them. They will share how they got there, take questions from you, and discuss industry trends.
• Career Fairs: Held both on and off-campus, PSU career fairs provide opportunities to talk one-on-one with recruiters looking to hire our students, show them your resume and hear what they consider a ‘great fit’ candidate.
