Explore Careers
Although real estate, accounting and insurance are disparate industries, all offer a variety of job opportunities ranging from highly quantitative roles like real estate finance or actuarial science to careers that depend more heavily on interpersonal and communication skills such as sales and marketing. Check out our Vault Guides to learn more about options in these specific industries or try CareerExplorer, an interactive career assessment, to see your compatibility and learn more about over 800 careers.

Make Connections
In addition to conducting online research, it is important to talk to people actually working in the roles you are considering to learn more about what the work is actually like. Resources such as MyPenn (formerly QuakerNet) and LinkedIn can help you find Penn alumni working in fields of interest. Read more about how to make connections here.

Search and Apply
Handshake is a great place to begin your job or internship search! Use the industry filter to select accounting, insurance, or real estate. CareerShift is another tool available to help Penn students and alumni navigate the published and hidden job market to find career opportunities. In addition, consider exploring general job boards such as indeed.com as well as the industry-based job boards included in our resources section. You can find tips on preparing resumes and cover letters and interviewing in our “Learn How To…” section.
