Events
11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
Handshake is a fantastic tool to help on-campus employers find and select student workers. It is the university's policy for all student positions to be listed on the platform, but that does not mean the platform always makes it easy, and there are a plethora of common headaches Handshake can cause. Creating a department or unit account can be unintuitive. Setting up individual users can be frustrating. Communicating with and tracking candidates is arbitrarily limited. Getting answers to those or any other problem is what this workshop seeks to address.
