CFAES Career Development Resources for Alumni

Career success for alumni is important to the CFAES Career Development office. That is why they offer several resources for alumni to continue their career development past graduation.

Handshake - Online Job Searches Targeted to Ohio State

Handshake is a great career development resource and serves as a primary job board for students and alumni. If you are looking for a job or want to attend events to meet companies, then you should activate a Handshake account now! As an alumni, you can use your @osu.edu email address to request an account. You can access your account at www.handshake.osu.edu and use your OSU name.#@osu.edu and password to login.

Networking and Connections

OSU Alumni Fire is another great resource to connect Ohio State alumni online for career advice, informational interviews or shadowing experiences with other alumni. You can also find mentors, contacts, or seek jobs through fellow Buckeyes. Alumni can join this powerful buckeye network by going to https://osu.alumnifire.com/.
