Leave a Review Handshake Jobs & New Careers
Can’t login
This needs work especially the login part for students. I have been trying to login for weeks under my school login and I keep getting an error message. This needs to be fixed on the app along with some other issues I can’t put my finger on due to not being able to get into the app on my end.ITZ KIA
No to online schools
They discriminate against students attending online schools. As if those students don’t work hard and deserve jobs and internships the way traditional students do. College is college!! Denying students help when searching for jobs simply based on which institution they attend is really disappointing. Yet students seeking degrees solely online can still use Handshake just because the college also has a campus. What makes that online student different from other online students??Show lessErica Jae
Easy to use
This is as smooth as it can get... if you have you resume updated and know what jobs to apply for, then this is a great way to let employers know you are in the market.Realg22
Login doesn’t work
Used to be pretty good, but now it just asks me to create a new account even though I already have a .edu with my university.
Update: Apparently, my university changed the email to be used with Handshake. It is still the same for receiving emails, but with some added characters for Handshake...some sort of alias perhaps? I don’t know the reason of this, but now it works.Show lesskarahbit
Needs work done
The app needs allot of work still. First off there isn’t a log off button anywhere so if you signed up with the wrong email then good luck on fixing that. There are many things the website has that cannot be accessed through the app such as viewing other students in your school. As for the actual job searching tool it is far too wide. I live in Texas. Denton to be exact yet I’m seeing jobs in other states. The app has potential but I’m honestly surprised that it seems as if it wasn’t tested thoroughly. What I recommend for you all to do is ask various students all the problems we are having with your website. A simple survey email should suffice.Show lessjsaeed22
Trash Garbage – Less Than One Star
This app infuriates me. Hopefully this scathing review gets the attention of the devs because using this stupid app should not be this frustrating. I download the app and it asks for me email. I type in my school .edu email and wait for the temp password email from this piece of garbage, but because this app is trash, I never receive an email! How the hell am I supposed to take advantage of handshake as an iOS app the same way other students can if I can't even ACCESS IT. There are no options to ask for help, connect with customer service, or any other avenue to be able to get access to my account on the app. Such a shameful design decision.Show lessshirt shorts and cup
Developer Response
So sorry about this! We're going to add a button to contact support so we can help you more easily in the future. In the meantime can you get in touch with us at https://support.joinhandshake.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and we can investigate your issue further? Thanks!UI is very problematic
I cannot see what I type when adding a description to my job experiences. The description text field is hidden by my keyboard when I tap to type something. What I mean is the field doesn’t move up to allow me to see what I type and also you cannot copy/paste anything either since you can’t highlight or long press in the text field since it’s not visible on screen when typing. This is such a huge oversight and I cannot be descriptive about my experiences which is troubling as potential employers won’t know what I did/do in my past or current experiences which defeats the purpose of this app. Please fix this blatant and critical issue.Show lesspissd off customer
Won’t let me even sign into the app
As soon as you open the app it only gives you the option to log in with a valid school email to receive a temporary passcode or asks if you already have a temporary passcode. But I already have an account so why can’t it just let me sign in like any other app. When I try to use my email that already has a handshake account it says it’s invalid but how’s that possible if I already have an account.Show lessCameron Malik
Easy to use
This is a great app. It is easy to use and not overwhelming to look at. I love how they organize jobs in different categories such as by location and category. If you feel you are limited, their filters can help you narrow your search.Darylejh97
App saying my phone is jail broken??
I just recently clicked on the app to check out some job openings. However it will not let me use the app because it is saying my iphone is Jailbroken, which it is not and never has been. There was recently an update 3 days ago, so I’m not sure if this is a flaw in their new software? I also tried to find someone to contact about the problem and they have no customer service contact outlets, so I decided to comment on here to hopefully bring the issue to attention.Show lessmraine20
