Identify Jobs And Employers Within A Career Center Collection
Career Center collections at your school can be identified by a gray badge. You'll find these in Handshake across several areas, including the job list during your search, the jobs details page, and employer profiles.
- Job list: The badges appear below the job title, for easy recognition.
- Job details page: The badges are displayed midway down the page, under the section "About the employer" section.
💡Note: up to three badges may be displayed at a time. If the employer or job is a part of more than three school collections, a plus sign badge is present. Hover over the plus sign badge to discover other collections the employer is a part of!
