Ideally, you should start exploring careers as early as your first semester, so that you can apply for internship and research opportunities well before you start your eventual job search. However, we can work with you at any point during your time as a graduate student at GT, and for six months following your graduation.

We provide graduate students a wide array of services that are listed here. Again, this is not an exhaustive list, and if you would like to make an appointment with career advisor for any reason, please visit CareerBuzz and make an appointment there.

You can make an appointment with a Graduate Career Advisor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by visiting CareerBuzz and making an appointment there.

The important thing is to come with an open mind, ready to take the next steps towards your future. If you don’t know where to start we can help you - wherever you are. Here are some things you might consider doing ahead of time to help prepare yourself for our appointment:

Things to think about…

• What are your interests (academic/career or otherwise)?
• What causes do you care about?
• What kinds of experiences have you already had and how did you feel about them?
• What do you do well and like to spend your time doing?

Pre-Graduate and Pre-Professional (PGPP) Advising works with students who choose to attend professional or graduate school or pursue prestigious fellowships. PGPP supports students and alumni considering careers in academia, health, law, teaching, and other fields. The PGPP programs and PGPP advisors encourage students to reflect on their knowledge, skills, experience, and strengths to determine the best path forward to their immediate and long-term goals.

The Career Center has an up-to-date list of all upcoming events located here.
