Handshake
Handshake is a job pooling resource where you can perform a variety of searches by employer, internships, even internship types. In Handshake, students have access to DickinsonConnect and the Liberal Arts Career Network (LACN). DickinsonConnect flags jobs posted by Dickinson alumni to connect to employers who already know the skill set you obtained from your education, and LACN flags job opportunities at other liberal arts institutions. This is a great way to find jobs that match your interests! To access DickinsonConnect, log into Gateway, click on the “Student Resources” tab, and then click on the “DickinsonConnect” link.
