What's New in Handshake Jobs & New Careers

• Fixed some bugs
- Handshake Mobile Team
I do really like how there’s lots of job postings on this app, but I’ve noticed that a good amount of them are just irrelevant to what I’m looking for (even though I put in my preferences into my profile). This results in what feels like a lot of spam from this app, as I keep getting messages which say “You’re a good match for this employer,” just to open it up and find out that it’s an engineering job and I never studied engineering in my life.
The other thing I find highly irritating about this app are the “apply externally” applications. You click on apply externally, only for it to open up the website within your the app, rather than on a separate browser (like Safari). I wish it would open up externally, but it doesn’t.
