Just follow these simple steps:
- Go to the upper right corner of any page and choose “Guest” or “Sign Up”
- You will get a bunch of options to choose from (see image above)
- Choose “Feature a Job” and follow the steps to create an account.
- Once you have an account, you can post a job/internship any time you wish. You will have a lot of options with your account
- add a video about your organization
- include general information about the roles you hire, your hiring timelines, etc.
- this is your space to get students and alums excited to join you!
- Note: every time you submit something, the Career Director will receive an email to approve or decline, and your opportunity will be posted for all La Follette students to see
To post an opportunity, you will need a position/project description for the role which should contain:
- A description of the duties and skills required with a link to the full description on your website (if possible)
- Is the position suitable for an undergrad, grad student or both?
- Whether or not the position is paid and at what rate of payment
- Information about the desired weekly work schedule; and a description of your hiring process
- Which materials should be sent as part of the application? (resume and cover letter, unofficial transcripts, etc.)
- To whom should materials be sent? (name and email address or link to an online form)?
- When are they due for best consideration/when will the opportunity close?
- If a student wishes to receive credit for the internship
- They are responsible for acquiring approval from the Director of Career and Employer Services and completing the necessary paperwork
- There is one brief Google Form describing the position and details that must be approved by a supervisor and returned to the Career Director before they are permitted to add the internship course PA 327 (undergrad) or PA 827 (graduate)
Write a blog post with career advice for us
- Log into your already created account or once again follow the steps above only this time, choose the option that says “post a blog”
- What is a blog?
- It’s a way for you to share your wisdom with students and alums
- Write about what’s happening in your sector/specialty
- Post an article or link to a journal that you think students should read. View some samples on the site and use them as inspiration
- Again, any post will be reviewed before it is added to the site, so there may be a 24-48 hour lag

Here is some guidance direct from Handshake on the best way for employers to interact with the platform. It was written for career centers, but applies directly to the work you all do.
