Handshake for Employers
The ISU Career Center utilizes Handshake to post jobs, register for career fairs, and coordinate interview schedules. A good job description which clearly communicates the job duties and qualifications is essential to getting good applicants. Please visit our Job Description page if you need help creating a job Description.
You will need to create a Handshake account and connect with ISU to post jobs and network with students through Handshake. Please see the instructions below for creating a Handshake account and connecting with ISU.
