STUDENT RESOURCES & FAQ
Do I have to create another account or remember another password?
No. MyCareerLink uses PCC Single Sign-On. If you are already signed in to MyPima, there’s no need to create another username or password.
How can I job search while working or between classes?
You can search for jobs and set job alerts using either the web version or the mobile app. Alerts notify you when new opportunities match your profile, so you can stay updated even when you’re short on time.
Are these the same jobs I see on large job boards?
Some opportunities may overlap, but MyCareerLink also includes roles from employers specifically seeking PCC students, including positions that are not posted elsewhere.
Can I apply from my phone?
In many cases, yes. Depending on the employer, you may apply directly through MyCareerLink or be routed to an employer’s application site, most of which are mobile-friendly. Having a PDF version of your resume saved on your phone can make applying much easier.
How do I know if a job is a good fit for me?
Your profile helps surface opportunities based on your program, skills, and preferences, so you can focus on roles that align with your background and current goals. You can also use filters like position type, schedule, and work-based learning options to find roles that fit your current needs.
Is my personal information private?
Yes. You control your profile visibility and can choose whether your resume is searchable by employers. Your information is handled in accordance with PCC privacy and student records guidelines, and you decide what employers can see.
Can I find internships or flexible roles that fit a busy schedule?
Yes. Employers are encouraged to post a wide range of opportunities in MyCareerLink, including internships, part-time, entry-level, and professional career positions. You can use filters like position type and work-based learning options to find roles that align with your availability and goals.
