Great job searching platform

Overall, Handshake is a convenient job searching tool with helpful features for both applicants and recruiters.

PROS

When I was a graduate student looking for internships and jobs, I found Handshake to be a great platform. It has a wide range of companies offering positions and the application process is easy to navigate. I particularly liked the messaging and chat features, which allowed me to interact with recruiters directly.

CONS

The platform can be confusing to use at first and some of the information posted by companies is not always accurate.

Handshake Makes You Feel as You're Not Wasting Your Time as a College Student

PROS

The most I like about Handshake is that they send me emails of jobs or internships relating to my degree. It gives me an idea of what jobs or internships I can apply for when I get ready to. I feel like I won't have to worry too much about jobs after I graduate because Handshake sends them to me.

CONS

The least thing I don't like about Handshake is that they send information that doesn't pertain to me. I am an online student, so some of the information they send to me I can't go to.
