Career Connect

Current students can log in with a single sign-in option and you will be directed to your profile. Once logged in, you'll be prompted to set up a new password. Note: new incoming students do not request an account to access RIT Career Connect, once you are registered for a full load of RIT classes an account is automatically created for you. At that time you will be able to log into the system.

RIT alumni have easy access signing in through their active RIT account. Career Connect access is tied to an RIT email account. Student accounts will stay active up until six months after the status changes from student to alumni. If alumni have not remained active, go to start.rit.edu and click on the  ‘Alumni Access’ link to get a new email account. Then you can log in to your Career Connect account using your username and your new "@rit.edu" email address. If you have issues accessing your account, contact our office.

Once logged in successfully, update your profile by selecting My Account on the left-hand tab.

Basic background information will already be in your Career Connect profile, provided by the Registrar. Ensure all pre-loaded information is correct and up to date. Contact our office if you find an error in any of your profile data.

Fill in the fields under the Personal, Academic, and Privacy tabs of your profile to create a customized Career Connect experience for yourself and employers. Note:You can update the Preferred Name field (found under Personal).

Students can customize their email and communication preferences from the Career Services office, employers, and events. Tigers also have the option to receive Career Connect text message alerts or job blasts with current job opportunities within your preferred field.

On occasion, we may generate resume books of students who meet specific criteria for employers. For example, at an employer’s request, our office can use Career Connect to search for students who have a background in Computer Science or Graphic Design and group their resumes together in an online resume book for the employer. If students would like to be included in these resume books, select Yes under Include in Resume Books.

Under the Documents tab of Career Connect, students can view and upload their resume, cover letters, unofficial transcript, writing samples, and references.

Select Add New at the bottom of the list to begin building your materials for a more robust profile. We recommend saving all of your documents as a pdf before the initial upload as Career Connect will auto-format your documents and potentially convert your format incorrectly.  

Students may store multiple versions of their resume in their documents, and they can select a 'Default' resume for the employer's viewership and resume books.

Students who meet the posted qualifications may select an interview time. First click apply, then select the preferred interview time.

Employers will review all submitted student applications and materials to determine students for an interview. Those selected will be notified via email and given several days to select their preferred interview time. Students can check their status under the Requested Interviews column in Interviews. If students were selected for an interview, a Schedule Interview button will appear; otherwise, the status will read ‘Not Invited’ or ‘Pending’ if selections have not yet been received for that employer.

Select the Schedule Interview button and a list of available interview times will appear; select the desired time to interview and Signup. Students may change their interview time to another available time slot as long as the pre-select sign-up period is still open for the session.

Some employers listed are not conducting interviews on-campus or at a scheduled off-campus recruitment site. These organizations have requested that our office collect resumes from interested students and send the resumes to them in one packet. It will be listed in the system as Resume Collect.

Students apply for those positions in the same manner as an on-campus interview position. All future communication regarding possible interviews will come directly from the employer.
