Handshake

Students with a full profile are 5x more likely to be messaged by a recruiter. With a completed profile, Handshake will also send you targeted messages regarding job openings, upcoming events and personalized opportunities.

The most critical part of your Handshake profile is updating “Your Interests” with the following:

1. Job Type: Tell us whether you’re looking for an internship, part-time job, or full-time job
2. Location: Select the cities where you’d like to work, and Handshake will show you jobs in that area
3. Job Role: Choose jobs you would like to explore, like marketing associate or software engineer

The Employer Directory has over 400,000 active employer profiles where you can find reviews, recruiter information and other students and alumni that have worked there.

Submit and review questions to the entire Handshake community. This is a great way to crowd source information on career paths and employers. Handshake offers a robust online help center to answer all of your questions about your account including your profile, job applications, events as well as quick training videos.
