How can I schedule an appointment with Career Education?

All appointments with members of the Career Education team are scheduled through Handshake, our digital career resource platform. Handshake allows students and alumnae access to Career Education's resources. Once you join Handshake using your Wellesley email and login information, you will be able to create appointments, access resources, and browse career opportunities. You can schedule an appointment by clicking "Career Center" on the top tab of the Handshake homepage and then selecting "Appointments."

From there, you can select the type of advisor with whom you would like to meet by selecting the “Schedule A New Appointment.” Selecting "General Career Advising" will pair you with one of our Alumnae Career Advisors, while "Career Advising By Field" will pair you with a Career Community Advisor specifically for your given field. Appointments can be conducted in person, over the phone, or over Skype or Google Hangouts.

How do I log in to Handshake or the Wellesley Hive?

To access your Handshake account, you will need to use your Wellesley-issued email and login information. If you do not know your password, you can reset or change it by visiting https://portal.wellesley.edu/content/alumnae-login-information or calling the Wellesley College Computing Help Desk at 781-283- 3333.

Once you have obtained your password information, you can log in to Handshake at wellesley.joinhandshake.com and/or The Wellesley Hive at hive.wellesley.edu.
