Register as an employer on Handshake (Las Positas College Internship & Job Board). Services are FREE! See this helpful guide, Getting Started with Handshake: Employers.

Create employer profile with an email that matches website URL (or an email that can be found on your website).

When you post your first job or internship, remember to choose Las Positas College in the "Schools" tab of the job. Otherwise, we will not see your employer profile on our end.

Once approved as an employer,  you can post job openings and/or internship opportunities.

Remember to choose Las Positas College in the "Schools" tab when you post a job or internship. Otherwise, we will not see your job.

If your company already has a profile, ask the Career Center Coordinator or the "owner" of your company's Handshake profile to send you an invite link to create an employee account. Do not create a duplicate company profile since this can delay approvals in Handshake.

Choose “Custom Range” when creating a job posting since Handshake ranges don’t match California wage requirements.

Keep in mind that students usually need 2-4 weeks to apply for a job or internship since some of them are new to job search and need time to prepare a resume.

Utilize Handshake's 25 free messages per month to email "Matches" for your job and encourage them to apply. Tailor your searches and messages to the student's major and skill set.

Remember to expire your job once you have finished hiring. If this is a job that you are always recruiting for, leave it open for a year. In the following year, duplicate the job and then update the application dates.
