Peer Career Advisors

Peer Career Advisors (PCAs) are MIT students trained by Career Advising & Professional Development to help fellow MIT undergraduates and graduate students during individual 30-minute appointments. PCAs can assist you with professional documents including resumes and cover letters. Additionally, they may provide general advice on a number of career topics such as internships, UROPs, applying to graduate school, networking, and more!

Peer Career Advisors are available during the academic year. Appointments with Peer Career Advisors are available to schedule on Handshake.
