NOTE: Career and Professional Success cannot store or share student work-study eligibility in Handshake. All student applicants will appear to “not meet preferences” because of this. We suggest requesting an additional document confirming work-study eligibility or confirming eligibility during the interview process. 

Faculty and Staff

Faculty and staff who are not posting jobs can request an account in Handshake. This will allow you to:

  • Search for job and internship postings available to your students
  • View upcoming career-related events (UNH and employer events)
  • View employer and student profiles
  • View postings as a student would see them
