Networking Resources
Handshake is an online platform that serves as a board for jobs and events specifically for college students, so you will not compete with others with years of professional experience. It is an excellent place to begin a job search, and we recommend that students start their job search by creating an account and seeing what is available on Handshake. Creating a profile may seem intimidating, but it will be okay! You can go at your own pace, and the Career Success Center is here to advise you on building a strong profile.
LinkedIn is an online platform for networking and job searching. There are ways to filter to find APSU alumni at specific companies or in different industries
