With Handshake, you can save jobs of interest for quick access later!
Saving a job can be beneficial if you're exploring the Jobs page for potential opportunities, and you don't plan to apply at that very moment. This feature allows you to "bookmark" the job so that you can refer to it or apply when you're ready.
Also, Handshake will notify you when the job posting changes, and will send you a reminder two days before the application deadline. This will make sure you don't miss out on the opportunity!
Save a Job
Click the bookmark icon to save the job; below are some examples of where these can be located within Handshake.
- From the job postings list on the left side of the Jobs page
- Within the job posting details section, next to the Apply button
- At the very bottom of the job posting page in the lower-right corner
- From any job collection curated on your homepage
Locate Saved Jobs
1. Click Jobs on the left navigation menu.
2. On the job search page, click on the Saved tab in the upper-left corner of the page to view only your saved jobs.
