  • Refer a Student

    We invite you to refer students to Career Services. To refer a student, email the Career Services at career@ohio.edu with the student's contact information, or show them how to schedule an appointment on Handshake. 

    When to refer students to Career Services (though any career-related topic is appropriate for referral to our team):

    • Confusion about which career opportunities relate to specific majors
    • Needing greater self-awareness about personal skills, values, and interests
    • Perfecting a resume, cover letter, or personal statement
    • Exploring industries or networking within a particular industry
    • Uncertainty about how to find a job or internship
    • Deciding whether graduate school is necessary 
    • Developing skills for effective interviewing
