Rutgers-Newark Handshake is the Office of Career Resources and Exploration’s platform for sharing opportunities, resources, events, and other information with students. With Rutgers-Newark Handshake, students can:
- Discover career opportunities across hundreds of companies.
- Access personalized internship and job recommendations based on major and interests.
- Ask for advice from other students across the country who got great jobs (peer-to-peer features—reviews, Q & A, messaging).
- Share their student profile (employers can proactively contact students with public profiles; students with complete profiles are 5X more likely to be messaged by employers).
The CRE has also posted career-related events and career resources within Rutgers-Newark Handshake. If you have an on-campus job you would like to share with students, you can post it in Rutgers-Newark Handshake: On-Campus Job Posting Instructions
