Designed to match its eight million members with relevant internships and jobs, Handshake is a college recruiting tool that sorts recommendations based on each individual’s interests and network. The platform calls itself a “democratizing opportunity…because building [a] career shouldn’t depend on where you go to school, what you’re majoring in, or who your parents know.”
In addition to job and internship opportunities, students can use Handshake to search for company profiles, on-campus events, and “knowledge communities.” More than 200,000 employers and 475 colleges subscribe to the service, including Pace University’s Career Services department. (Fortune 500 companies, as well as Mom and Pop shops, recruit on the platform.)
If you’re interested in applying for a job on Handshake, here’s how to get started. First, login to Handshake at pace.joinhandshake.com with your MyPace credentials and set up a profile. Make sure to:
- Include work experience and education
