Opening Doors: Building connections

University of Georgia graduate, Denisha Lamsal, shares how Handshake opened doors in her career.

We spoke to real college students about how Handshake helped them open doors in their careers. Read and follow along in this five-part series.

Meet Denisha, a recent University of Georgia graduate. She secured a job through Handshake and made many great connections. By having that role on her resume, she was able to open up her options for her future.

I made my first connection by going to the career center event. It was a networking event created by my university's career center and I first heard about it through Handshake. Once I got that first job, there were just so many other opportunities I got just because I had that one job on my resume.
