Handshake is an online career services platform that houses a job search engine, event portal, and profiles similar to LinkedIn. All students at UT have a Handshake account and it is what we recommend students use to search for jobs and internships. Therefore, we recommend that all organizations recruiting UT students utilize the resources Handshake provides.
