Class of 2022, welcome to the Columbia alumni community!
Congratulations on your graduation!
No matter what you’re thinking about for life after graduation, the Center for Career Education (CCE) is here to help ease the transition. Here’s a roundup of key resources for recent graduates.
Share your plans via the Beyond Columbia Survey
Taking the Beyond Columbia Survey lets us know if you’re still searching, considering graduate school, volunteering, taking time off, working, enrolling in graduate school, etc.
You don’t have to job search alone. If you share that you’re in a job or graduate school search, our team will follow up regularly with resources, highlighted jobs, and more.
Work with our career counselors to strategize your search
ACCESS CAREER COUNSELING FOR LIFE
You have access to our career counseling services for life as a Columbia alum. Take advantage of it!
Our career counselors are here to help you …
- create a job search and/or career transition strategy
- conduct career research and exploration
- develop job search materials such as resumes, CV’s, cover letters, and personal statements
- build a stronger professional network
- practice for interviews
- apply for and consider graduate school programs
- navigate a career change
You can schedule a 30-minute one-on-one appointment in LionSHARE to meet with an alumni career counselor by phone or Zoom.
Access LionSHARE, a job board exclusive to Columbia
LionSHARE is another key career offering that continues to be available to you as an alum with your UNI and password. The platform functions as an online database available exclusively to students and alumni served by CCE. The best part is that employers specifically select that they want these posting featured at Columbia and are looking for Columbia talent.
LionSHARE is more than job and internship postings. You can also use it to find opportunities to interview with employers on-campus, information on career fairs and other employer events, and schedule a 30-minute session with a career counselor.
Don’t forget to update your LionSHARE profile with your graduation date, alumni status, and most recent experiences and interests. Check out this resource for answers to our most frequently asked LionSHARE questions.
Resources curated for alumni
We encourage you to continue using our career development resources on our website. Visit our alumni resources page to see content specifically curated for you.
ACCESS SUBSCRIPTION RESOURCES AT NO COST
In addition, your UNI and password will give you access to subscription career resources. We subscribe so that alumni and students can access them at no cost! We especially recommend Vault career guides for industry and company information and Big Interview for interview prep.
Finally, if you’re looking for some self-guided career development, check out our Design Your Next Steps guide. Think of it as a textbook to help you navigate different aspects of the job search!
