As we navigate the uncertainties around us as best as we can, I’m sure many of you are also concerned how the global pandemic will affect your job/internship search. Although many companies are still figuring out their hiring needs, the good news is that there are many new job and internship postings being posted in Handshake, so we encourage you to actively seek out those opportunities and stay motivated.
