Career Center Transitions to Handshake Faculty, staff can now add job listings to our new platform

Dear UMBC Community,

We are excited to announce the Career Center's transition to Handshake, which has become the number one place employers recruit college students and recent graduates. More than 1,400 colleges and universities now partner with Handshake, making it the top platform among career centers across the nation.

This platform is now live and will replace the university's current system, UMBCworks.

There are a number of reasons we are making this change. Below are just a few:

Colleges, divisions, departments, and units across campus are highly encouraged to start posting open student positions for both undergraduate and graduate students as soon as possible. New student enrollment is in full swing and our Retrievers are now logging into Handshake seeking jobs for the upcoming academic year. Please also be sure to update your webpages to reflect this change.

Students have started completing their profiles on Handshake and making appointments with our career specialists. Existing users of UMBCworks are encouraged to move any current documents--including resumes and cover letters--to Handshake.

The Shriver Center and Career Center are also working together to transition enrollment and evaluation processes for applied learning experiences, including internships, co-ops, research, and service-learning, for the start of the fall semester.

Although we still have more to do to make this transition a success, we know it will be the best career management tool for our UMBC community.

Learn more about Handshake and other services offered through the Career Center and Shriver Center.

Interested in working in our career center? We have openings as a career peer. As a career peer you will:

•    Gain leadership skills
•    Help fellow students with their résumés and cover letters
•    Assist with special events
•    Learn about career development

Hear from our current career peer Josh Walters. Josh has worked as a career peer in our center for 2 years.

"My name is Joshua Walters and I am a senior math major here at UMBC. As a career peer, I am one of the first points of contact with many of the students who come to the Career Center for advising. One of my main responsibilities is to advise students on their resumes and cover letters during our daily drop-in hours: I assist students with formatting, conveying information effectively, and with understanding the specifics of correct resume and cover letter writing. I also work with many of the student organizations on campus - sending out reminders for upcoming events, and even sometimes hosting workshops where I speak with students about a variety of career-success topics. These topics can be anything from deciding on a major, networking, finding a full time job, and everything in-between. Being a career peer has been an incredibly rewarding experience - I have learned so much about career development through both my training and working so closely with UMBC students. I have had the opportunity to hone many skills such as resume writing, presenting, and teamwork/leadership skills that will be invaluable to both my job search, and finding success in my future career. If you are interested in applying, be sure to submit your resume and application form through UMBCWorks!"

Check out Aloysius' internship with iHire, LLC!

Name: Aloysius Ambe


Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: iHire, LLC


Position Title: Software Development Intern


Major or Program: Computer Science 


Current Class Level: Junior


Work Term: Spring 2022



Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.


"I work on-site for iHire at the Frederick office. The development team at iHire works in a 2 week sprint and we get assigned work every Monday, which is the start of the sprint.


The assigned work includes User Stories, which are new features to be added to the website. After completion, we communicate with the Business Owner of the User Story so it can undergo testing.


When all the work for a sprint is completed before the sprint is over, we begin working on tickets in the ticket queue. A ticket is usually a bug on the website which needs fixing but could simply be an inquiry into why something is not working as expected."



Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?


I found the iHire internship on LinkedIn and decided to apply. I heard back from the company within a week or two. I had 2 interviews. The first was a 40 minute behavioral interview with 2 panelists. And the second was a one hour skills assessment/technical interview.


What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? 


What I enjoy the most about the position is that the work is very challenging. No two tasks are the same. There's always something new to learn and/or create.


The people at iHire are amazing to work with. Everyone is extremely helpful and kind which makes the overall internship experience an amazing one.



How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?


I worked on a User Story which redesigned a specific page of the website, so I would like to believe I have helped make the User's Experience while browsing the iHire website more pleasant.


I've also worked on business side logic code which has helped other associates make more informed business decisions.



What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? 


Be sure to thank your interviewers for their time at the end of the interview. Call them by their names and highlight your willingness to learn. Dress for success and be at the interview site at least 5 minutes early.


Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.


Don't let rejection get to you. All you need is one company to take a chance on you and you'll forget the rest, so don't give up.

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” – Maya Angelou  

And just like that the spring semester has come and gone but you’ve made it!   

We know this year brought on a new type of adjustment for many students, returning to campus and in-person learning. We see you out there working hard and moving forward! 

As the spring semester winds down, we encourage you to approach the summer season as a time to RESET with some well-earned rest and reflection. Recognize the growth and development that took place over the entirety of this past year and be proud of your accomplishments. Take some time to celebrate your wins, big and small!   

We also are aware some of you may have faced challenges and obstacles over this past year. Take this opportunity to develop new goals and/or strategies that will better position you for the road ahead. 

Consider the following questions to get you started: 

  • Academically, what kind of year did I have?
  • What were my successes and what were my challenges?
  • How did I adjust back to in-person learning? What adjustments should I make in terms of time management and/or communicating with my instructors?  

In terms of your academic plan and timeline to graduation: 

  • Did I complete as many credits and courses as I had planned? 
  • Do I need to repeat a course? Please become familiar with the Course Repeat Policy and applicable limitations and deadlines.
  • What are some ways I can get some more academic support next semester? The Academic Success Center has many great resources! 
  • Am I taking any summer courses? Summer sessions can be a great way to a way to catch up or get ahead. Summer registration is still open and doesn’t require advising clearance. Remember, Finish 15  to stay on track!   

What about your academic major? Consider the following:

  • What aspects of my major am I enjoying and what uncertainties do I still have?
  • How does what I'm studying impact my future career goals? 
  • If you are undecided or are considering changing your major, check out the Office for Academic & Pre-Professional Advising’s Exploratory Page for more resources/information to help you move closer toward a decision.
  • Do I have any General Education Requirements left to complete? Can I use those courses to explore majors or minors I might be interested in?   

Tip: If you are still exploring career options related to your academic major, spend time this summer talking to people who have careers that interest you.  Check out the online self-exploration resources at UMBC’s  Career Center and don’t forget to stay tuned for updates about our The Major Event happening in November! 

Using all of this information, review your class schedule for the fall semester and make sure it still makes sense given the academic year you just completed (i.e.- do you need to repeat a class? Are you enrolled in too many credits?).  

Tip: If you have still not registered for the fall semester and need advising assistance, talk to a departmental advisor or contact the Office for Academic & Pre-Professional Advising at oapa@umbc.edu. 

Aside from academics, take some time to think about your social and extra-curricular involvement at UMBC: 

  • Did I get involved on or off-campus in activities/events that interest me? How well did I balance my social and academic life? 
  • What lessons did I learn from getting involved?   

Tip: Extra-curriculars can be a great way to meet new people but also get club and leadership experience that looks great on a resume!


Lastly, make sure you spend some time thinking about where you are financially right now: 

  • How did I budget my money during the academic year? 
  • Do I have concerns about paying tuition or funding other aspects of college?
  • Am I aware of the financial tools and resources available to me as a UMBC student?   

Tip: Check out the status of your student account on myUMBC (under the topic Billing & Personal Finances) to be sure everything is in order.  Check in with your Financial Aid Counselor for assistance exploring funding opportunities as well!  The Financial Smarts@UMBC  website is also for great information on financing your education, living on a budget, and the concept of credit.   

Finally, UMBC is still very much up and running if you need support this summer! 

Again, we congratulate you for all you have accomplished this semester. We hope you use the following months as a time to keep moving forward towards your goals. It is never too late to reassess your plans and set yourself up for success. Never forget that we are here to help you make it happen!

Check out Gabriella's internship with the Baltimore Witness!

Name: Gabriella Salas


Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: Baltimore Witness


Position Title: Writing Intern


Major or Program: Media & Communication Studies, English Literature


Current Class Level: Senior


Work Term: Spring 2022



Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.


I intern at Baltimore Witness which is a non-profit website that marries journalism and data transparency. My typical day involves attending in-person hearings and trials and reporting on those cases. We cover non-fatal shootings and homicides in Baltimore City. We do this with the hope of delivering transparency about the Baltimore City criminal justice system. Aside from attending hearings and trials, I also interview prosecutors and attorneys, study trends regarding crimes and trials, and I write articles for the website. 


Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?


I received an email from Rebecca Adelman last semester about this opportunity and sent our Editor-in-Chief, Trina Antoine, my cover letter, resume, and sample writing. I submitted during late December and heard back fairly quickly. I had one interview and was hired on the spot. 


What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? 


I have enjoyed the writing process and attending on-going trials. Some of these cases can be very interesting and seeing how the criminal justice system plays differently everyday is fascinating.


How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?


I think being able to give the residents of Baltimore a view of what's going on inside the criminal justice system is very eye-opening. Reform can't happen unless we know exactly what's going on. 


What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? 


I would say that whether you're interested in journalism like me or interested in learning more about the criminal justice system, to definitely know how to write well, to know a little bit about the criminal justice system in general, and it doesn't hurt to pay attention to on-going trends in the city you're interested in. I think having that background knowledge is very helpful, especially when you're spending all of your time writing about it. 


Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.


Baltimore Witness has allowed me to see a different side of journalism. It's not driven to make flashy headlines, but rather to report the facts and deliver transparency to its community.
