5 Day Handshake Challenge

Did you know?:
According to Handshake, students who have completed their profiles in Handshake are 2.5x more likely to see and apply for relevant opportunities and 80% of students who fill out their profile are more likely to get messaged by a recruiter. Let the platform do some of the heavy lifting for you!

Details:
The Career and Professional Development office is running a 5 Day Handshake Challenge from Monday, August 19 – Friday, November 1, 2024. Within that timeframe, students are encouraged to take steps to create a more robust profile. Only students who complete the challenge, their Handshake profile, and this form by November 1, will be entered for a chance to win one of our giveaways (ALL PROFILE STEPS NEED TO BE COMPLETE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A PRIZE). Shortly after the challenge ends, we will randomly choose 5 entries who have completed their profile to win a swag bag and notify them via school email.

How do you complete your profile?:

  1. Activate Handshake profile
  2. Upload resume
  3. Fill out profile (at least one work experience, organization, and skill) and job preferences (location, role and type)
  4. Add additional experiences
  5. Follow employers
