Chapter 10 Important Ross Websites

We found that with so much information, we all struggled to understand where to go when we needed to make an appointment with a career coach or book a study room for a group meeting. Therefore, this chapter focuses on the different websites that will become indispensable during your time at Ross.

10.1 iMpact

This website is exclusively for Ross students and it has a variety of functions: - Book study and interview rooms as well as managing those bookings - Create a resume using a template designed by Ross and then publishing that resume for companies and ross members to see - Access a Ross alumni directory - Contains links to other websites like Ross Recruit (see below)

In a previous chapter, we have a step-by-step guide on how to book a study room. Look at section 5.1 for more information.

10.5 Handshake

While Handshake is not a site exclusively for the University of Michigan, there is a specific portal (see link above) for Michigan students. Handshake is a web portal where companies announce job postings and specify different requirements for the job including who can apply, salary range, job description, materials needed to apply, and contact information. Handshake also allows you to message recruiters directly on the website and to add companies to your “saved list” in order to get notifications of new job postings and company events.
