We strongly encourage employers to post jobs in Handshake to ensure they are visible to candidates in advance of the Career Fair. Posting your positions in Handshake allows us to help you promote your positions to students attending the event and to help students prepare for the fair. If students need to apply for your positions directly through your organization, Handshake allows you to specify that.

Please note: When promoting your position to students at the fair, the student cannot search by the Job ID number in Handshake. Instead, please ask students to search by position title and company name.
