Setting Up Job Alerts in Handshake
Don’t miss out! Be the first to know find out about new opportunities by setting up your job alert on Handshake. With Handshake’s job alert, postings will be sent directly to you in the Handshake app, over e-mail, or to your phone on a daily or weekly basis. You can edit your notifications at any time.
