Post Jobs and Internships

The first step to recruiting at Mason is to connect with George Mason University on Handshake, Mason's centralized job and internship database that is accessed by undergraduate and graduate students, as well as alumni up to five years out.

1. Create an account. Use your company-issued email when possible. 
2. Enter your recruiting interests and Alma Mater and click “Continue”.
3. Search for your company on Handshake. If it appears, click “Request to Join”. If it doesn't appear, click + Create a New Company and follow the prompts.
4. If you created a new company profile, you'll be asked to verify your identity and business details through Handshake's verification process.
5. Once your profile is set up, Handshake may prompt you to create your first job. Enter a job title & description and click “Continue”, or click “Skip” if you're not ready yet. You can also save a draft to return to later.

Once you receive a confirmation email with your login information, you may create job and internship postings by following these steps:

1. Log in to Handshake
2. Select "Create a Job" from your home dashboard or select "Jobs" in the left-hand navigation bar then select "Create Job"on the upper-right corner of the page. 
3. Enter the Job Basics, Job Details, Job Preferences, and Schools for the posting
4. Choose “Post job” in the upper-right corner of the job form, or in the lower-bottom of the page. 
5. Your position will be reviewed by a staff member and approved in approximately 2 business days
