Your Handshake profile gives you the chance to tell your professional story, your way. Now, it’s easier than ever to express your authentic self, connect with your network, and stand out in the job market. Handshake is your platform to show up on your terms. With new features like a shareable public profile, you can take control of how you’re seen and where your story goes next.
Share your profile with the world
Your Handshake profile is like your digital resume, but better—it’s your chance to represent your professional identity in your own words. You can now:
- Showcase your profile in your email signature, on social media, or in job applications
- Highlight your unique skills, experiences, and goals wherever you want to be noticed
- Share your journey beyond Handshake and let your personality shine
Whether you’re applying for jobs, networking with peers, or building your personal brand, this is your moment to stand out and invite others into your career journey.
Express yourself authentically
Handshake is made for people like you, who are ready to show up, get hired, and build a genuine career community, all without flexing or faking it. Your profile is where you can unapologetically share who you are and where you’re headed.
Before you share it, update your profile with:
- A quick summary that reflects your unique background
- Your ideal industry, job role(s), and target locations to show recruiters what you’re looking for
- A header image that gives your profile a personal touch
These updates make it easier for potential connections—whether they’re employers, mentors, or peers—to get a full picture of who you are, beyond just the bullets on your resume. And, as always, make sure you’re regularly updating your profile with your latest work experience, coursework, skills, and projects.
