We strive to bring useful career resources to FIU Business students, faculty, staff, and employers. If you have any questions regarding Handshake or careers, contact us.
Handshake offers a thorough article describing how to register and get started. Make sure you select Florida International University as one of your schools. Once you’ve requested to connect with FIU, it can take up to three to five days to approve your account.
Under normal circumstances, it typically takes three to five days to process pending employer approval requests. If your request has not been approved after seven days, please log into Handshake and check your messages for any comments on your registration. If the registration is incomplete, e.g., there is no website address or the email domain does not match your company, there can be a delay in approval, or your registration may be declined. Handshake has an article on best practices for getting approved at schools. If you have an urgent need to post a job or internship listing for FIU students, please contact us.
The owner of your company profile will receive an email once you have registered and can approve you. If that person is no longer with the company, contact us for assistance.

Our students’ professional success is a shared goal, and Handshake is FIU’s platform to connect students and alumni with employers. Handshake can also link employers with FIU as a whole to meet employers’ recruiting needs company-wide, and it provides opportunities to engage our students through professional development workshops, virtual and on-campus interviews (post-COVID-19), and visits to targeted departments on campus.

When you welcome an employer to Handshake, that employer will start by creating an account. Within 48-72 business hours, their account will be approved, or FIU’s Career and Talent Development team will provide detailed feedback on how to gain approval. Once approved, employers are able to post jobs and internships and register for events with Career and Talent Development and the Business Career Team.
Once an employer posts a position on Handshake, you can email your students a link to the job post. The more students actively use Handshake, the more applicants employers will receive. You can assist employers by promoting Handshake to your students: Remind students to activate their Handshake account, upload their resume for approval, and complete their profile prior to their internship/job search.
You can contact us to verify if the employer is active and connected with FIU on Handshake and if they have any pending or active job posts. We can confirm the number of applicants once the job is closed.
Students who present professional resumes to employers are more likely to successfully secure internships and employment and best represent the quality of FIU talent, thus attracting more employers.
