Your first steps as a Student

Build your career profile

Your profile is the foundation of your presence on CareerTruss. Add relevant education, skills, projects, experience, and other information that helps employers understand what you can bring to an opportunity.

Discover opportunities

Browse available internships and explore opportunities that match your interests, skills, and career goals.

Apply and stay informed

Submit applications directly through CareerTruss when supported and keep track of their progress through your application statuses and notifications.

Tip

CareerTruss has a simple yet effective built-from-scratch Automated Matchmaker System (AMS). It is ideal and highly recommened to fill all fields of your student profile. The higher the skills → the better the AMS score. Focus on filling important fields like Skills and Links.

Your first steps as an Employer

Create an opportunity

Prepare an internship listing with clear information about the role, responsibilities, requirements, compensation, and application process.

Submit for review

CareerTruss reviews internship listings before they become publicly available. This helps maintain a reliable and trustworthy opportunity network for students.

Build your applicant pipeline

Once your listing is live, students can apply and you can review applicants, update application statuses, and move candidates through your recruitment process.

Tip

The best CareerTruss experience comes from keeping your information accurate and up to date. Students should maintain their profiles, while employers should keep listings and applicant statuses current.

What comes next?

CareerTruss is continuously expanding. The internship ecosystem is the foundation, with additional career, education, and opportunity systems planned as the platform grows.
