Job and Internship Postings

SUNY Old Westbury is on Handshake! What is Handshake? It's the #1 way college students find jobs. We partner with schools and employers—bringing their best opportunities to campus and onto our platform just for you. The top employers—including all the Fortune 500—recruit students through Handshake, giving you access to jobs and internships not available anywhere else.

Create your Handshake profile and we’ll show you jobs that are a good fit for you. You can filter and search through job roles based on your interests, and discover new career possibilities. Best of all, recruiters will message you directly with event invites and job opportunities. Let's get started with Panther Career Link powered by Handshake. 

Brush up on your interview skills

Interview Stream allows students to select from more than 7,000 standard or industry-specific interview questions, receive on-demand interview advice, and see and hear themselves as they practice their responses. Get started with InterviewStream. 

Career Planning and Development exists to: 

Empower students and alumni to make informed decisions regarding the career development process and industry options.   

Connect students and alumni with employers and internal partners through various outreach and programming efforts. 

Prepare students and alumni for applied learning experiences (i.e. internships, work study, volunteer work), employment, and further education. 

It is never too early or too late to engage in the career exploration and planning process. Please visit the FAQ and Resources pages on our website for more information on how CPD can assist.
