We wish you a safe and happy winter break. Congratulations on making it through another year! Thank you for being such a bright part of the Penn community – whether you are a current student, alumni, staff, faculty, employer partner or simply a friend.
Everyone at Career Services looks forward to working with you again in 2019!

Looking for a summer internship or research placement? Interested in going abroad during your time at Penn? Find out how you can do both through Penn Abroad’s Global Research & Internship Program (GRIP)! We have 200 internship and research opportunities available in a variety of career fields and locations. All placements come with guaranteed funding!
The deadline to apply is January 6th, but all students must attend an advising session held by Penn Abroad before the end of the semester. You can read more about GRIP and available Summer 2019 placements, as well as sign up for your advising session, on the website or by emailing grip-abroad@upenn.edu. Deadlines are approaching, so act soon!
We made it! It’s the last episode of the semester and the last episode of 2018! Winter break is the ideal time to decompress, relax and connect with friends and family. It’s also a good time to do some simple, even fun things to prep for a springtime career search. Thank you for listening and we look forward to speaking with you again when we return in mid-January of 2019! Happy holidays!
There’s just two episodes left in 2018! When the semester winds down, stress levels tend to rise up. Mylène and Michael discuss all the resources on campus and across the city that can help you decompress as we head into that final push. Enjoy!
This week, we’re happy to announce the return of an annual tradition: the Career Services LinkedIn Photobooth! With that event now on the calendar, Michael and Mylène take a look at the basics of setting up a LinkedIn profile, some tips and tricks helpful to undergraduate job seekers on LinkedIn and the benefits of joining groups. Also, information on this week’s Nursing Career Day. Enjoy!
