Handshake

Handshake is UNL's on-line connection between students/alumni and employers hiring for part-time, internship and full-time positions. Handshake is a free service for current UNL students and alumni. It's easy to create your account then post your resume, search employers and listings, request on-campus interviews and stay updated on career opportunities and events.

Our staff helps students in all majors and colleges make academic and career decisions, gain experience and pursue employment or further education.

Résumé Lab

Come to a Résumé Lab to work on your résumé, cover letter, or Handshake account with help from our staff! Bring your computer, ask questions, get feedback, make edits as you go, and walk out with an improved document. You may come and go during lab hours, but if you stay the full time you will walk out with finished materials.
Note: You DO NOT have to be on time or at the lab for the full time.

Résumé Labs will all be virtual this fall.
Students, watch your Husker email to find the Zoom link.
Alumni, please contact Julie Obermeyer at jobermeyer@unl.edu to receive the link.
