circle Careers & placements
Kent State uses a job search platform called Handshake for the posting and application of all on-campus positions. Handshake is also the #1 place where students find jobs, internships and other opportunities, such as Kent State University career-related events, career fairs and more. Completing your Handshake profile increases your chances of getting noticed by employers. After enrolling at Kent State University, students automatically receive a Handshake account and can log in with their Kent.edu username and password.
If you select to unsubscribe from the Handshake email list, please note that it is an absolute unsubscribe, meaning that you will no longer receive any email notifications regarding career events, fairs, jobs, and internships postings.
Headshots are professional images taken from mid-chest upwards of a person who is wearing business casual or business professional attire. We recommend all students have a professional headshot to post on their Handshake and LinkedIn profiles.

For current students, In KSU Navigate, under “What type of appointment would you like to schedule?" click “Career Advising”, then under “Service” click “Headshots” Appointment: Current Students Appointment: Alumni
