How to Hire a Tiger
Want to recruit a fellow alumnus or current student?
We’d love for you to create an account on Handshake. If you are new to Handshake, follow the Handshake instructions. If you have a Handshake account, we encourage you to label your job and internship opportunities with the labels, “HSC Alumni Posting”, “Family/Friends of H-SC”, and “Experiential Learning.” If you have trouble labeling your opportunity, email efulcher@hsc.edu the direct link to the positon, and our office can attach the links for you.
How else can you support our office?
We value contributions of your time and experience to our students. Whether you offer your time for informational interviews, serve as a mentor, or simply give guidance your time and expertise is greatly appreciated.
