Information for students

The Career Development Center manages the Handshake platform on Hamline's campus to ensure the events, jobs and employers you see are relevant to our community. Whether you know exactly what kinds of opportunities you’re seeking or you’re just starting out, Handshake and the Career Development Center can support you in your career goals. 

Employers

To register for a free account in Handshake, employers may create an employer Handshake account to join Handshake if you and/or your organization do not have an existing account. Using Handshake you will be able to post a position once but share it with multiple colleges and universities. Below are some resources to make starting out easy.

For the safety of our students and the children and families we serve, the Hamline University Career Development Center does not accept postings from private families or individuals. This includes, but is not limited to: In-home helpers, personal care assistants, nannies, and tutors.  Private families may contact nanny and personal care agencies that perform screening of both care providers and families to ensure the safety of all parties involved.

Tabling

Set up a table or a display in a high traffic area during the academic year. This allows you to promote yourself with students as they are passing through the building. Tabling can be requested via email.
