From this page, you can use the Category, Type, Staff Member, and Appointment Medium menus to change selections and choose from available appointment options.
Click on the date to display the available times, then click on a time that works for you from the list that appears under the date.
Note: if there aren't any available times for the selected date, and your school has created a custom message, it'll be displayed in the middle of the page.
5. Select your desired Appointment medium from the dropdown menu, then enter details about the appointment in the "What can we help you with?" section.
When you're ready, click the green Request button in the lower-right corner of the screen.

Missing the “Career Center” tab in the upper-right corner of your screen?
If you don't have the “Career Center” tab in the upper-right of your screen (to the left of your account icon), it means your school doesn't currently partner with Handshake (yet!) If you're enjoying your experience on Handshake, feel free to encourage your career center to formally partner with us and we can unlock additional benefits for you and your university!
