Handshake Mobile

Mobile

What is Mobile: Handshake currently provides an app for both iOS and Android, available for free in the respective app stores. With Handshake’s first true application, we’ve gone beyond mobile-optimized web pages for students.  Students can use it to explore events, fairs, and jobs (favourite them and then apply), access On-Campus Interviews, Experiences, Surveys, and Resources, and add work experiences, organizations, and volunteering to their profiles! Students can also receive notifications for applications deadlines and messages from employers.

Why is Mobile important: Students are mobile! And we want to meet them where are while making the job search process more approachable, perhaps even fun.  By pushing recommendations and collections to students, we’ll capture their attention, resulting in greater engagement and better results.

This is the app homepage:

From the Events tab, students can see a list of Events/Career Fairs and register from the individual event/fair:
