Handshake Advising Appointments
For quick questions or in-depth career and grad school discussions, make an appointment with an advisor on Handshake, our career platform!
PGP also has Peer Career Advisors (PCAs), student workers who can offer advice on resumes, cover letters, portfolios, and more! Our PCAs are always happy to answer questions, review a resume, or schedule a quick meeting over email or a messaging platform. PCAs host recurring office hours for some parts of the year and you can always reach out to individual PCAs to schedule a meeting.
To schedule a meeting with PGP through Handshake, go to https://app.joinhandshake.com/stu/appointments or navigate to 'Career Center' -> 'Appointments' and select 'Schedule a New Appointment'. Follow the prompts to choose your school year and select what type of meeting you want to schedule. If you are unsure what to choose, you can always select the general 'PGP Advice' appointment.
Once you've filled out the appointment information and scheduled the appointment, the status of your appointment will be 'Pending' until the appointment staff member confirms the appointment. You'll receive an email notification when the appointment is approved and a reminder email a day before the appointment. If we need to cancel an appointment or can't approve an appointment for any reason, you'll receive an email notification from Handshake to reschedule. Unless that happens you can assume your appointment is happening, even if the status is still pending.
