1. Log in: We’ve already set up a Handshake account for you. Just go to brandeis.joinhandshake.com and follow the prompts to log in and get started.

2. Introduce yourself: Your profile is your time to shine, so don’t be shy about listing your accomplishments. Because the more potential employers know about you, the better the chance they’ll reach out. Make sure to list all of your hard work — in the classroom and out — in your profile.

3. Tell us what you want to do and where you want to be: Set your preferences for the types of jobs and locations you’re interested in, so we find the right opportunities for you. Because searching through hundreds of job postings that don’t fit isn’t a good use of your time. Let us help! You'll also receive targeted communications and emails from the Hiatt Career Center to keep you up to date with what's going on in your areas of interest.

Students with a full profile are 5X more likely to be messaged by a recruiter.
