Handshake is a career services platform that connects you directly with employers, job opportunities, and your school’s career center — all in one place. It’s built specifically for students and recent grads, so employers on the platform are looking for people at exactly your experience level.

Here’s what you can use it for:

  • Search and apply for jobs and internships — Including on-campus, work-study, part-time, full-time, and research positions, many with quick-apply options
  • Get personalized recommendations — Handshake matches opportunities to your profile based on your skills, interests, and academic background
  • Attend career fairs and events — Register for virtual or in-person fairs, workshops, and employer info sessions
  • Build your profile — Create a digital resume-style profile you can share via a public link or add to your email signature
  • Book appointments — Schedule 1:1 time with career advisors and other career center staff
  • Network — Message directly with employers and connect with peers navigating similar career paths

The more complete and up-to-date your profile is, the better Handshake can surface opportunities that actually fit what you’re looking for.
