Career Center Services

At the Career Center for Cura Personalis, we are committed to helping our students build a life rooted in passion and purpose. We provide career education resources, professional development workshops, and networking opportunities with the goal of fostering strong, curious, and ethics-driven leaders of tomorrow. 

Our Career Center team will support you in transforming knowledge into action, connecting what you’re learning in the classroom to the process of preparing for a career. From career counseling appointments to employer coffee chats, every service we provide is focused on your personal and professional growth. 

  • Career counselors are available for one-on-one appointments to provide personalized career guidance and assist in identifying interests, goals, and relevant resources. Students can book an appointment on Handshake, and alumni can book an appointment in RamConnect for:

    • Resume and cover letter reviews
    • Interviewing skills
    • Career fair prep
    • LinkedIn review
    • Job and internship search
    • General career guidance
    • Networking skills
    • Internship tutorials
    • Grad school application guidance 

    and more!

    The Career Center offers drop-in hours on a regular basis. Fordham Career Ambassadors periodically host resume review sessions. To view upcoming drop-in hours and resume review sessions, please visit Handshake.

    Appointment cancellation & no-show policy

    We understand that last-minute schedule changes and emergencies happen. However, to be able to provide the best service to all of our students, we require the following:

    Appointment cancellation

    If you can no longer make it to your scheduled appointment, you must cancel it in Handshake by 8 a.m. ET the morning of your appointment. If you are no longer able to make it after this point, you must send an email to your counselor notifying them of the cancellation prior to the start of the appointment, in addition to canceling it within Handshake.

    Late arrival policy

    If you are late to your counseling appointment, we are unable to extend your appointment and can only meet with you for the remainder of your scheduled session. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, you will have to reschedule your session or it will be counted as a no-show.

    No-show policy

    If you do not cancel your appointment prior to the start of the session and do not show up, it will be recorded as a no-show. If three or more “no-shows” are recorded in a semester, your ability to schedule appointments will be restricted for the rest of that semester until you complete a meeting with an Associate Director of Student Engagement.
