Account Setup: Career Staff
Setting up Student Account
Career Staff may want a student account to be able to test or have a complete student experience. The instructions below guide you through the process of setting up a student account that links with a career staff account. |

- Navigate to Students – Manage
- Select New Student
- Enter email address for both the email address field and the username field
- Enter First name and Last name.
- Be sure the box is checked to Exclude From Automatic Syncs
- Select Create User
- The user will receive an email confirmation and request to set their password. Be sure the user uses the same login credentials as their Career Staff account so the accounts will link and the user will be able to use the User Switcher.
- On the user profile, add the label admin - career staff student account

Default Search Filters
Handshake has quite a few areas that can have default search filters so that whenever you explore Handshake as a Career Services practitioner, you are seeing the content relevant to your scope. For example, as you explore Handshake, if you are associated with a specific School or College, you might want to only see Appointments, Jobs, Events (and more) that are only relevant to the industries, majors, major groups, or Staff of your School or College.
The following areas can have default search filters (expand each category to see examples):
It is highly recommended to explore these areas of Handshake as soon as possible and spend some time adding in filters relevant to your School, College, Unit, or scope.
