All recruiters must:

1. Have an organizational domain email account (not Gmail, Yahoo, etc.).
2. Provide an active website that matches the domain of your organization.
3. Provide your full name with contact information, name of company, physical address and phone number.
4. Provide detailed information in the job description (task/duties, requirements, and responsibilities) or provide a link to the open position.

1. From the home screen, once logged into Handshake, click the blue 鈥淧ost a job鈥� button.
2. Click on the tab at the top right that says 鈥淛obs.鈥�
3. Click the word 鈥淓xpired鈥� on the top left.
4. Click on the job you鈥檇 like to repost and either push the blue 鈥淓dit Job鈥� button to use the same posting or the blue 鈥淒uplicate Job鈥� button to copy and start as a new posting.
5. Review and update the posting that populated in the form. Check the graduation date range (if applicable).

There are many ways to get the most of your posting.  Here are some suggestions:

1. Your job description is the main hook for students. Including specific skills, responsibilities, minimum and preferred qualifications, and personal or professional growth opportunities in your description will essentially attract more students to apply.
2. Handshake will not allow you to include a salary range in the 鈥渁pproximate salary鈥� section of the job posting form, but we do suggest that you include something in that space. If it is a range depending on experience, choose to put the lowest amount, and then include the range within the job description. If it is salary plus commission, put the minimum salary plus commission in the job description.
3. While Handshake allows any student to apply for any job, students can see when they don鈥檛 meet your preferred major qualifications, and that may deter some otherwise competitive candidates from applying. Expanding those qualifications may provide you with a greater pool of candidates and improve your overall recruiting experience with Handshake. 91青青草 has more than 150 majors. Use larger major groups rather than selecting specific majors to attract more students to your job postings in Handshake.
4. Make sure your employer profile is complete with website and social media links so candidates are able to research your organization.
5. Employers have the opportunity to contact up to 100 students directly per recruiting season. Making first contact through Handshake is a great way to start a conversation with qualified potential candidates.

A. It depends on how much relevant information you can provide in a clear and concise manner.

The general rule is: 

One page for recent college or post-college graduates.
Two pages for 10+ years of professional experience in the field.
Three pages for experienced professionals submitting a federal resume or curriculum vitae (CV). A CV is a special resume format most commonly used for academic, fine arts, medical, and legal job searches.

 No. The inclusion of an objective statement is optional. 

The general rule is:

If one is included, it should articulate the skills, abilities, and experiences you have that match the requirements needed for the position. It should not focus on the needs of the candidate, but those of the employer.

No. A separate document is created to list references.

The general rule is:

Three references are usually enough.
References should include individuals who are familiar with your academic and/or work performance.
Personal references (family and friends) are only used when specifically requested.
Reference information should include: name, title, place of employment, mailing address, email address, and phone number.

A. No. The use of extremely large and/or flashy fonts is not recommended.

The general rule is:

Use one or two font sizes across the entire resume. A larger font size can be used for section headings. Standard font styles, such as Calibri (11), Arial (11), or Times New Roman (12) are recommended.

No. Most of the time.

The general rule is:

The use of personal pronouns (I, me, my, our, you, their, she, he) should be avoided.
The use of I, me or my could be used in an objective statement.
What is the best resume template to use?
Resume templates are NOT recommended. Employers can immediately tell a resume template was used, and are usually not impressed.

The general rule is:

It is best to create a resume from scratch using a blank Microsoft Word document.
Focus on style and format after you have written the content.

Usually not.

The general rule is:

Freshman level college students who have limited work experience may list outstanding achievements to demonstrate potential. This information should be removed once relevant skills have been gained through collegiate/work experiences.

There are different points of view on this issue, so it becomes a personal choice.

Some general thoughts:

Due to the increase of identity theft, it is acceptable to only list an email address and phone number. Others contend this information is readily available to the general public, so listing an address does not increase your risk.

Including a GPA is optional.

The general rule is:

Recent graduates should include a GPA of 3.0 or higher. If the overall GPA is not a 3.0 or higher, listing the major GPA if it is higher is an option. You must clearly distinguish whether you are reporting an overall or major GPA. It is important to be accurate because you may be asked to verify this information. GPAs are should not be rounded up. Job seekers who have related work experience and have been out of school for 3+ years do not need to include GPA.

Yes. Recent graduates who have completed relevant coursework or projects.

The general rule is:

Relevant courses and projects should be listed on the resume as a way to demonstrate academic and applied knowledge of the subject. Descriptions should highlight teamwork, writing skills, analytical abilities, etc. the employer is seeking. 

Yes. Employers are interested in knowing what non-acadmic experiences you have on and off campus.

The general rule is:

Include activities that will highlight leadership potential, interests, and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities.
