Make a Strong Handshake Profile
Here is an Instructional Video with tips to make your profile most effective to employers seeking candidates on Handshake.
Handshake at the U
The U Career Success Center uses Handshake as a career platform to make the most critical aspects of finding a job simple. Here is some important information, instructions, and tips for setting yourself up for success on Handshake.
If it's your first time logging in you will need to complete a career interest survey.
Search Jobs and Contacts
Handshake has a Jobs tab, but their CareerShift resource is even better for advanced-degree seekers. It can search a specific city or state, anywhere in the United States, or internationally, and it gets better results than a free search engine.
The Contact section helps you see directory information for professionals.
This is how to get started:
- Visit utah.joinhandshake.com
- Go to the Career Center
- Click Resources
- Find Job & Internship Search - CareerShift
