Job Opportunities
Handshake Career Network
Handshake is an online career database that McKendree students and alumni can access
to assist with the job search. Part-time/full-time jobs, internships, and upcoming
career events are all posted to this network.
Students
- Go to My McK and click on the Handshake icon to access your account. To reset your password, click on 'Forgot Password.' If you are prompted to create a Handshake account, please contact Career Services for assistance.
Alumni
- Email Career Services with the full name used on your McKendree records, graduation year, and the email
address you would like to use for Handshake. We will create an account for you and
reach out to you with all of the necessary information.
*Career Services would like to make all job seekers aware of an increase in employment
opportunity scams across the country that are posted online. Please be cautious when
applying online! Do not honor requests to use your own money on behalf of a business
before payment is given, or deposit a check in your bank account and then wire money.
Our office is doing everything we can to make sure those positions are not posted
on Handshake, but urges you to contact us if you view anything that appears suspicious in nature.
McKendree University Career Services does not guarantee information about employers
and/or positions listed on our website and Handshake, and is not responsible for the
working conditions, safety, wages, or other parts of employment. Please use caution
when applying for positions. Career Services abides by the principles set forth by
the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
