The Office of Corporate Engagement at the College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management connects students with career-related campus resources and provides experiential learning opportunities to build relationships with top employers.
Handshake is the university's official job posting and search platform. It is a great place for USC students to find jobs and internships with hundreds of employers. All students are encouraged to complete a profile on Handshake.
Completing a short interest survey helps students get discovered by employers who are looking for candidates with specific skills and experience.
Once students have created a profile, they can use Handshake to search for jobs, networking events and career fairs. You can easily save your search and favorite employers to quickly find new job postings that meet your search criteria. You will be notified when your favorite employers post jobs or events that may be of interest to you.
Many recruiters post tips on how to maximize your Handshake experience. Additional recruiter tips can be found here.
