UC Berkeley International Student Career Resources

Welcome (back), international students! 🥳
Hope you had a good summer and are off to a strong start with the Fall semester!

My name is Mae and I’m a senior at Cal. I'm also the International Student Peer Advisor at the Career Center, and I will be running the page for this semester.
Together with me in serving the international students at Cal is Jing Han, a career counselor at the Career Center working especially with international students. You can find her bio here: https://career.berkeley.edu/jing-han

This page is for us to share resources and events regarding professional development for international students, as well as to interact with the campus community - aka you!

We will be regularly posting professional development resources uniquely made for international students, upcoming events at the career center, as well as potentially alumni and students spotlights. Lots of content is coming your way so please like our page for future updates!
