Your guide to getting hired this spring—even if you've been procrastinating

Handshake career experts share their pro tips for succeeding in the spring job search.

If being hounded with questions about post-graduation plans all winter break has you feeling stressed heading into spring, you're not alone: many students feel extra pressure to figure out their career path in the first few months of the year.

It's no coincidence that January is the third busiest month on Handshake! That's why we brought together some of our resident career and product experts to give you the scoop on all things spring recruitment.

  • Chief Education Strategy Officer Christine Cruzvergara, who's coached thousands of students during over the span of her career, gave insights into effective networking, preparing for career fairs, and building lasting connections as a jobseeker.
  • Director of Product Marketing Brit Gergen gave an in-depth demonstration of how to leverage Handshake's features—including the new public profile and email signature generator—to stand out in the search and get hired.

Enjoy the full event, including a live audience Q&A, below and be sure to follow Christine for her answers to questions that didn’t get tackled during this session.
