The end of university is rolling in and the realities of adult life might be hitting you hard right now. Among the questions of where exactly you’re going to live (and more importantly who with whom) and whether you want to take that panic master’s (or PhD?!) is that question of exactly what you’re going to do with your time.
If putting off the future and travelling around the world isn’t on the agenda, then finding a good job that’ll help you slowly drag yourself out of your overdraft probably is.
But where on earth do you start?
If the plain old job sites are leaving you more than a little overwhelmed and just plain confused about what employers are looking for, then you need to check out Handshake.
This is THE PLACE to find amazing grad jobs, placements and internships, great career advice and insights, from employers, professionals and fellow students — and for a limited time… INCREDIBLE PRIZES.
