Post Positions - Handshake is an online database allowing employers to post positions (full-time, part-time, seasonal, internships, volunteer, Co-op), and register for career events. Open positions will only be posted through our Handshake system and are available to all UWF students and alumni. Students and alumni can send their resumes directly to you via their Handshake account. Handshake account registration and postings are absolutely free!
