Career Center Resources for Students and Alumni

Westminster's team of certified career coaches provides free, lifetime service to students and alumni. Through application of the most current tools and industry insights, we can help you with:

Handshake

Log Into Handshake

Access the Career Center team, resources, and hiring and networking events through Handshake.

• Current students or recent graduates: If you are still using your westminsteru.edu email address, log into Handshake with your Westminster email credentials and update your profile.
• Alumni: If you're an alumnus and no longer using a westminsteru.edu email address, contact the Career Center by phone (801.832.3103) or email (careercenter@westminsteru.edu) to have your account updated or created. Do not create a new account for yourself as it will create access issues. To gain access to the full menu of appointment types, be sure to complete your profile and select "Alumni" as your school year.

Book an Appointment with a Career Coach

Career coaches are available to you for in-person, phone, or virtual appointments. Once you've activated your Handshake account and completed your profile, log into Handshake and click Career Center, then select appointments.

Access Current Resources

The Handshake Resources Library is open 24/7. Log into Handshake, click Career Center, then select Resources. The library is stocked with current tools to help you with:

• Your job search
• LinkedIn profile
• Resume
• Cover Letter
• Interviewing
• Personal branding

For general Career Center questions, reach out to us at careercenter@westminsteru.edu.

CareerShift

Log Into CareerShift

CareerShift is the newest tool available to Westminster students and alumni to help manage your job and internship searches, access networking contact information, and search which employers are currently hiring. Access this members-only platform for free—the Westminster Career Center has already paid for your membership.

• Go to the CareerShift website
• Select "Sign Up Now"
• Complete the required questions to set up your account (use a Westminster or personal email)

StandOut

Log Into StandOut

Fine-tune your interview skills using StandOut, a mock video interviewing platform, by recording yourself practicing the most common interview questions. Play it back for yourself or submit your video to a career coach for feedback.

• If you're a current student, a StandOut invitation email was sent to your westminsteru.edu address with access instructions for your account. Email careercenter@westminsteru.edu to have your invite resent if you cannot locate it.
• If you're an alumnus, email careercenter@westminsteru.edu with your full name, your graduation year, and the email address you'd like attached to your account. The Career Center will create your account and you'll receive an invitation email from StandOut.
