Imagine this: recruiting season is getting busy, LinkedIn tabs are piling up, you met an alum at an event but forgot to follow up, and your internship applications are scattered across emails, screenshots, and notes on your phone. Sound familiar?
You know how important networking is to your job and internship search. CareerOS helps make the networking process manageable. It is one central place to expand, manage, and track your networking activity, whether you’re trying to find connections at your top companies, stay on top of your follow-up with your contacts, or track all of the job postings you’ve applied for.
Stay Organized During Your Search
Think of it as your job search CRM (contact relationship management) system. You can:
- Identify employers and professionals aligned with your interests (Pro tip: Reach out via email. CareerOS sources approximately 85 percent of people’s direct email addresses)
- Manage your professional outreach and follow up (Pro tip: Use the Google Chrome extension to add contacts directly from LinkedIn!)
- Save jobs directly from LinkedIn, Handshake, and other sites all in one place
- Build consistent career habits through manageable weekly tasks
Your skills get you noticed. Your relationships move you forward.
CareerOS helps you stay focused on the human relationships that lead to career opportunities. It integrates well with our other career management tools, including:
- LinkedIn: Connect with professionals, recruiters, and job postings
- Lundquist Connect: Our exclusive alumni networking platform where you can connect with Ducks who have already volunteered to help Ducks with their career search
- Handshake: Find jobs and internships exclusively for college students
Networking with Intention
Instead of losing track of networking conversations, CareerOS lets you save contacts, organize outreach, track responses, and document notes from conversations. That means less stress and more intentional relationship-building.
Effective networking isn’t about sending random messages and hoping for a response. It’s about building authentic professional connections and following up over time. Learn more about networking here.
Getting Started

If you want help getting started, book an appointment with a Mohr career advisor on Handshake to customize CareerOS for your specific needs.
One important reminder: CareerOS is a tool, not a magic wand. It will not think and talk like you, automatically reach out to contacts at your dream companies, or notify you of every opportunity. The job seekers who benefit the most from CareerOS are the ones who actively use it to stay organized, follow up with professionals, build authentic relationships, and take consistent steps toward their goals.
Building a career won’t happen overnight. CareerOS won’t do the work for you, but it can help you stay intentional, organized, and confident along the way.
