RESOURCES, TIPS, AND INFO
Tips for Communicating with Employers:
Practice your pitch! Pitching, explaining who you are and what skills and experiences you have in a concise way is hard enough, but add in the elements of doing it virtual, and it can be extra intimidating. Reflect on your skills: how have you taken advantage of these challenging times to better yourself? What have you learned about how you manage time, change, and adversity? Employers might ask, so be ready...record yourself or conduct a virtual chat with family and friends to practice and get some feedback.

HANDSHAKE JOB FILTER CAPABILITIES
The ‘68 Center continues to see the number of jobs and internship postings stay at a high level during these uncertain times. In the span of two weeks, Handshake, our job and internship platform, received around 1,400 additional job and internship postings. The largest number of postings have come from the Education/Teaching/Training sector, followed by Research opportunities and Community & Social Services opportunities.
We are constantly thinking of ways to help you streamline your job/internship search during these turbulent times and are excited to let you know that you can now filter on opportunities that allow remote workers, as well as opportunities that are posted by Williams alumni. You can do this by simply utilizing the new ‘Labeled by your School’ section under the Filter options within Handshake.
