As we work to create an inclusive culture that celebrates diverse backgrounds, we're always building out career resources to students of various identities that cover topics such as workplace affirmation, support and inclusion. 

Our internal job and internship posting system, Handshake, is your primary gateway to Davidson-specific career opportunities and resources. It includes valuable tools and resources to utilize during the career management process, summer internship, research, job and fellowship postings and a timeline of events including employer/graduate school visits and professionalization workshops.

We offer students a variety of how-to guides and resources to help them prepare for their career journey, such as guides to writing resumes/CVs, cover letters and personal statements, assessing job offers, networking and multicultural resources. 

A powerful tool that gives Davidson students expert advice from alumni and members of the Davidson network, Davidson Connect helps you obtain advice on career paths and industries, get résumé reviews and practice interviewing for jobs. You can also connect with shared interest groups, view job and internship postings, and more!

The Matthews Center offers programming with employer and continuing education partners on our YouTube channel.  Make sure to also check out our "Wildcat Ready Series" to learn more about topics such as Handshake, Davidson Connect, LinkedIn and more!
