With handshake I was aware of any job postings for on-campus jobs (which was what I was looking for at the time).

It was really hard to apply through handshake, I printed my application and turned it in straight to the office.

If you are in college and looking for jobs, get a job on campus. They work with your schedule way better than off-campus jobs.
