iPad OS app needed
Feedback to Handshake app designers:
It would be great if you design an app that works for iPadOS. Given the larger screen, the app will be better viewed and have more functionality that the iPhone one that works for both devices.

Fine arts major solicited for sales positions
I am a fine arts major my degree is in screenwriting. My hope is to work in Cinema in some capacity either being a creative writer, set production work, production assistant etc. I want to work in the film industry.
I’ve been out of college since 2016 and the only jobs I can find on Handshake related to my major is volunteer work for free or I am heavily solicited by sales recruiters. I am having zero positive experiences going through Handshake in finding a suitable career.Show lessvlb400
Cannot get past "Search for Schools" page
I just updated the app because I was looking at a job, and suddenly kept getting the error message "Something went wrong. Please try again." However, now that I've updated the app, I cannot get past the "Search for Schools" page. I type in the first two letters of my school, then get the same error message: "Something went wrong. Please try again."
I tried turning my phone off and then back on again, but that didn't work. I also tried deleting the app and then reinstalling it, but that didn't work, either. This is really frustrating. The app was working fine until five minutes ago. Now it's not working at all. Please fix this ASAP! Thank you.Show lessiS2mHp

I received an email for a virtual interview on handshake. When I click the link handshake opens and tells me that I don’t have permission to do “that”. It doesn’t tell me what “that” is and they don’t have a customer support number either. You have to fish around the app until you manage to find where you can send an email to them. I still haven’t heard back from Handshake since I’ve sent an email. Employers please do not use this app for interviews etc. customer support is trash and the links they provide won’t allow everyone to open it.Show lessCryptoguy1
Problem with Saved Jobs
Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with the app.
One problem I’ve run into is that the saved jobs that have expired cannot be unfavorited and removed from my saved jobs list.
I’m wondering if that’s a bug with the Handshake app?_student
Good app, but missing features
The app is well designed and easy to use. It could use an iPad version.
The search tool is useful, but a way to filter by only work-study jobs, and filter by “quick apply” jobs.
MANY jobs posted aren’t real, and you actually have to apply separately after finishing your Handshake one. I wish I could filter those out.Show lessEvanElevenRoden
Flaw
I find the location setting to be very frustrating. I was a student in Chicago Illinois, I have now moved and live in Nashville Tennessee. I have changed my personal setting as best I can to find careers in Tennessee however, the jobs still listed to me apply only to Chicago because I went to college there and those who reach out are only individual’s interested in the Chicago area. I wish this app would offer better location settings/relevant location settings for alumni. It makes it impossible to find a job after graduating.Show less"!!A!!"
Best Job site I’ve used!
Tried Indeed, Trello, LinkedIn jobs, all of them pale in comparison to handshake. The ui alone and innovative way to search for jobs is a selling point that can beat any other site out there. It may not have the amount of jobs like indeed, but you can find good ones very quickly that are the perfect fit for you. My school, IUPUI uses handshake and I was able to find an opportunity as a freshman, I was a freshman!
I have only seen jobs pertaining to the technology sector, software engineer to data analyst type stuff. That’s because that’s all I’m interested in right now. However, the DM system where companies can reach out to you, or you can reach out to recruitment managers is an amazing addition to an already great job hunting experience. Try it out!Show lessLegoGuy32109
Love the program…App Freezes
I absolutely love Handshake, but the app freezes every time I try to load a job to see more about it. It goes to load, and then I get the spinning circle of perpetual waiting. It’s very frustrating as, even in the mobile version, it does the same thing. I have deleted the app and downloaded it again to see if that resolved the issue; it didn’t. Please fix these issues, I would love to effectively use your program.Show lessEmface26

I downloaded this app with the hopes of finding a better career move. However, upon having this app for over a year, I have been unable to use this app as to what it is intended to be used for. When I first downloaded this app, it worked well, gave a lot of insight on the jobs to come. I was happy. Few months into the app, it started slowing up, crashing, etc. so I checked for an update. If there was an update, I would update immediately. Then, few days later same issues, this time on top of the crashing and slowing up, I would click on an interested job and it would freeze on that particular job and only way to unfreeze the app is to close out the entire app. To this day, I’m annoyed with the app and deleted it completely from my phone. Would I re-download it? Maybe 🤷🏾♀️ hopefully it will be less crashing and freezing.Show lessbsmccraney
