12twenty Job Database - Alumni Accounts

The Career Services Office uses 12twenty, an online job database system, where we post attorney positions of all levels.

Alumni who graduated in 2006 or later have existing accounts in our 12twenty database (moved over from our previous system, Symplicity). To access your account, go to the 12twenty login page and click on "Sign up for an account" link, then enter your UC Davis email address (the one assigned to you as a student) and create your password. Login to 12twenty with the Email Address/Password function. Do not login through the SSO button.

NOTE ON UC DAVIS EMAIL ADDRESSES: The University is retiring the email for life services (for more information visit: https://iet.ucdavis.edu/email-service-transition.) When you need to change your email to a non-UC Davis email please contact the Career Services Office and provide your email address of choice and we will update your account.

If you have forgotten your password go to the 12twenty login page, then click on the "Reset your Password" link enter your UC Davis email address and you will receive an email to create a password.

Alumni who graduated prior to 2006 may obtain a 12twenty account by contacting the Career Services Office and provide your email address and we will create your account. You will then go to the 12twenty login page and click on "Sign up for an account," then enter your email address to create a password to access the system. Login to 12twenty with the Email Address/Password function. Do not login through the SSO button.
