CEC launches Handshake, new online career platform.

On January 29th, the Career Education Center (CEC) launched Handshake, the new online career platform for the Simmons community. A nationally acclaimed, state-of-the-art, web-based service, Handshake replaces CareerLink and offers vast improvement over the former system. The new system, designed to serve the career needs of all Simmons undergrad, grad, and online students as well as alums, includes pre-loaded profiles for all current students. With a design inspired by leading social media software, Handshake’s features include an expanded job board with listings from thousands of top local and national employers, personalized job recommendations based on a student’s major and interests, the ability to follow favorite employers and jobs and have notifications sent to you, mobile optimization with an app for Apple iOS (and soon Android users), and much more.

Students can log in to Handshake at simmons.joinhandshake.com to customize their profile and start searching for jobs. If you have any questions regarding the Handshake platform, please contact the CEC at  [email protected] or 617-521-2488.
