To post jobs or events to students, you must request and receive approval from each school selected.
After you submit a request to connect with a school(s) on Handshake, your request is automatically sent to each Career Center. Your request will remain in a Pending status until the school approves or declines your request.
During this time, you cannot interact with students at the school, post events, or request interview schedules at the school.
