Missing the Career Center option on the left navigation bar?
If you don't have Career Center as an option on the left navigation bar, 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 institution!
