Peer Career Advisors (PCAs) are a group of student volunteers who are selected through an application and interview process during each Spring semester. They serve as ambassadors to undergraduates and play a valuable role in supporting the Center for Career Development (CCD). PCAs reinforce the knowledge, skills, and resources offered through the CCD. PCAs are specially trained to assist you with the following topics:
-
Resume and cover letter reviews
-
How to use 12twenty
-
Internship & job search basics
-
Using CCD online resources (Focus2, Firsthand, etc.)
-
Understanding CCD services
Each residential college has its own team of PCAs, so they are easily accessible and available to answer your questions in person or through email, even when the CCD is closed for the night. Check out the 2024-2025 PCAs here or on the poster in your college's servery. Or this document to learn more about their specific career interests.
