Setting Up and Using Handshake
Handshake has a network of thousands of schools, tens of thousands of employers, and millions of students and alumni. Active users post about companies they have worked for allowing you to network and ask questions directly to employers and employees. The resources are numerous, and we look forward to sharing them with you.
Current Students
Getting setup on as a student is easy! Our system will automatically upload your student information to initially set up your student account. Once your student information is uploaded to the system, you will receive a notification via email to your RebelMail account. After your account has been set up, you can login using your ACE Account.
Alumni
As an alumnus, your ACE Account will no longer be active, so instead use your @alumni.unlv.nevada.edu address to sign up for a Handshake Account. Once you create a new account and it is approved, you will be able to sign in with your email address each time you login. The approval process is much faster if use your alumni email address rather than a personal email address.
Having a complete and accurate student profile is essential for effective and efficient use of Handshake. As you fill out your profile fields, you’ll see your completion percentage increase. Most services on Handshake require at least a 75% completion rate.
Handshake is the largest database for employers looking to hire college students. More than 500 positions are posted to the site every week representing part-time jobs, full-time employment, internships, and more from a wide variety of industries, disciplines, and fields. If you’re looking for a job, your first stop should always be Handshake.
Please follow the directions for each position you wish to apply for as often times the application requirements for each role are different. It is best to have your resume reviewed by the Lee Business School Career and Professional Development Office before sending it to an employer.
