Beyond Graduate School

Beyond Graduate School is a comprehensive, on-demand online career platform designed exclusively for master’s students navigating the transition from graduate school to professional careers. The platform offers a research-based, structured curriculum covering every stage of the job search — from career exploration and self-assessment, to building a strong LinkedIn profile, to writing tailored resumes and cover letters, to preparing for behavioral and industry-specific interviews, to negotiating and evaluating job offers with confidence. A standout feature is the Career Video Library, which offers short, one-on-one recorded interviews with master’s alumni working across more than 35 career fields, giving students an authentic, firsthand look at career paths they may be considering before they begin networking. The platform also includes monthly live webinars and interactive sessions that connect master’s students with career professionals and peers in real time. Beyond Graduate School is especially valuable for international students learning the unspoken norms of the U.S. and Canadian job market, including networking etiquette, salary negotiation expectations, and application conventions. Accessible to all Penn master’s students through Penn Career Services, this platform is an ideal starting point for anyone — domestic or international, early in their program or actively job searching — looking to make a strategic, informed investment in their next career step.
