10am to 11am February 28, 2025 | Making Handshake Work - Common Issues and How to Fix Them | Jon Ambrose, University Career Center | Handshake is a fantastic tool to help our on-campus employers find and select student workers. It is the University's policy for all student positions to be listed on the platform. Just because it is required does not mean the platform always makes it easy. For on-campus employers, 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. Learning how to communicate and track candidates is arbitrarily limited. Knowing how to get answers to those or any other problem is what this workshop seeks to address. | MyTrack |
