Job & Internship Search

Login to Handshake today to explore career options, find jobs and internships, and connect with employers. We particularly recommend using CareerShift (in Handshake’s Career Center > Resources), as it provides comprehensive searches for graduate-level postings.

• Jobs: This tab on the landing page features opportunities posted by employers at schools, though it is not a search engine.
• CareerShift: a powerful job-search engine we subscribe to for you.
• GoinGlobal: a search engine for jobs around the world (including the USA), with guides to working and living in each country. Also has an H-1B guide for international students.

• Seek conversations with academic and outside professionals whenever you can.
• In your conversations, focus on them so you can hear what work is like in different careers and environments. Share your interests as well.
• Follow up with a specific thank-you message about what you most valued. Check-in with them periodically to build the professional relationship.
