Handshake - UK's Career Management Resource

UK’s online career management system, Handshake, allows you to apply for jobs and internships and sign up for on-campus interviews with companies anytime. You can also make your resume available for review by employers, find specific contacts at an organization and view company information sessions through Handshake. You can access the student site here.

You can also request appointments with members of our team through Handshake. Once logged in, go to "resources" and "request and appointment."

Handshake also includes a comprehensive list of resources that include:
