What is Careers4Terps?
Careers4Terps is a Web-based service providing students and alumni access to jobs, internships, externships and part-time jobs.

You can also use it to:
  • participate in the on-campus interview program;
  • make your resume available to employers by uploading it to the appropriate Resume Books so employers can find you;
  • and
  • learn who is coming to campus for information sessions and career fairs by reviewing the events calendar.
To log on, go to our home page. In the top right corner, follow the directions to create your account.


Student Registration Policies
  • By registering, you give permission to have your resume and other documents forwarded to employers and viewed by University Career Center staff members.
  • Only currently enrolled students may register.
  • Alumni need to register through an alternative location by visiting the Alumni page.
In addition to Careers4Terps, other resources are:

Engineering students: seeking co-op, summer, or internship positions should register with the A. James Clark School of Engineering Engineering Co-op and Career Services Office to use their eLink program.

Business students: a jobs database for R. H. Smith School of Business students only is HireSmith.

Public policy students: Visit the School of Public Policy's Office of Career Services


Key Tasks to Do After Registering
  1. Fill out your profile completely. Remember, your profile must be accurate so that jobs that are pre-screened by year level or major will show up in your search results.
  2. Search for jobs and internships.
  3. Once you find a great opportunity, call 301.314.7233 or 301.314.5668 to make a Career Assistance appointment and have your resume critiqued. Bring a typed draft to the appointment. We can help target your resume to put your best foot forward. Hours
  4. Upload your resume and additional documents in the documents section of Careers4Terps and apply to the position.
  5. Don’t forget to upload your resume in our opt-in Resume Books. Employers search these to invite students to apply to their jobs. Make it easy for them to find you!
Online Search Tips of the Month
  • Click the “Jobs” tab and instead of a basic search, conduct an “Advanced Search” and create a search agent. This way you can revisit your search later on and re-run it to see if there are additional jobs added to your search results.
  • At first, start your search broadly by searching for position type and location. Then if you are getting too many results, narrow the search with additional criteria.
