Need Career Support?

Start Here: Quick Career Tools for Students

Quick Start for Busy Students

Career Services at PCC is free for students and alumni, and you don’t need to know exactly what you want to do to use it. If you’re short on time and juggling work, school, and life, start with these two tools.

Not Sure Where to Start?

Which tool should I use first?

If you’re looking for jobs or internships, start with MyCareerLink.
If you’re working on your resume or preparing for interviews, start with Big Interview.
Many students use Big Interview first, then apply through MyCareerLink.

Do I have to meet with someone to use these tools?

No. You can use both tools on your own, at your own pace. If you want additional support later, Career Services is available, but it’s not required.

Who can use Career Services and these tools?

Career Services is available at no cost to both current PCC students and alumni.

MyCareerLink - Find Jobs That Fit Your Life

MyCareerLink is PCC’s career platform that connects students and alumni with employers who are interested in hiring PCC talent.

Your MyCareerLink account is already available through your PCC login, no separate sign-up required. You can access it through:

MyPima > Student Resources > Career Resources > MyCareerLink using your existing credentials.

Once logged in, upload a resume to start applying for local and national opportunities shared by employers who are actively recruiting PCC students. For added convenience, you can use MyCareerLink on the web or download the optional mobile app to search for roles during short breaks and receive notifications about new opportunities and application updates.

Instead of sorting through crowded job boards, MyCareerLink helps you connect more directly with employers who value PCC talent and understand the strengths of PCC students.

Big Interview: Build Your Resume and Practice with Confidence

Big Interview is a free, all-in-one career preparation tool available to PCC students and alumni. It’s designed to help you build strong resumes and practice interviews without jumping between tools or learning how to use AI on your own.

Students use Big Interview to:

Build a resume from scratch or upload an existing resume as a starting point
Get integrated AI feedback directly within the resume tool, no prompts required
Upload a job description to better align your resume with a specific role
Practice interview questions on your own schedule

Big Interview lets you practice interviews in different ways, depending on what you need most:

General interview questions that cover what most employers ask
Industry-specific questions across hundreds of industries and job titles
Competency-based questions focused on skills like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving
Admissions interview practice for academic or program applications
Government and public sector interviews, including federal and state roles
Veteran-focused interview preparation for in-demand career paths

You don’t need to do everything at once. Start where you’re most nervous, practice at your own pace, and build confidence over time.

Big Interview is not a test. It’s a place to practice, experiment, and get better before meeting with an employer.
