Tap Into a HOT Job Market! 3 Steps To Get Started
First impressions matter most. Professionalize your resume, Handshake profile, and LinkedIn profile so employers will want to interview you. The top reason candidates do not get interviews is that their online profiles are incomplete and their resume needs work.
The most popular internship and job pathways for Wake Forest students – and ALL MAJORS – are Finance, Consulting, Marketing & Communications, and STEM-related careers. Don‘t miss the most up-to-date opportunities updated each week by signing up for one or more of the career pathways emails

For college students, there are more opportunities and employers on Handshake than any other service in the world. 75% of Wake Forest students are on Handshake, are you? It’s easy to set up: Simply log in, complete your profile, mark your interests, and set up saved searches for opportunities to be sent to you and for employers to find you.
