Free Classified through the KSU campus newspaper, The Sentinel:
It's a third-party service connected to the online edition of The Sentinel. After reviewing the bulleted information, select Place Your Ad. This is also an option if you are not able to meet our criteria to post jobs in Handshake.

 You may post any of the following types of positions within Handshake: Internship, Co-op, Full-Time, Part-Time, Volunteer, and Temporary/Seasonal. This process takes about 10-15 minutes, and you can copy and paste the job description into the Handshake form.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:

• Provide position details and click "Continue" at the bottom of each section to proceed through each section or to allow Handshake to parse your job description. Save as draft if you are not able to finish. 
• Create a clear and concise job title that matches duties and tasks, include time requirements, compensation and benefits, candidate preferences (i.e., skills, graduation date, major, GPA, etc.). Students who do not meet your preferences, will still be able to apply, but they will be highlighted for you and you may filter them out.
• Indicate within your job description if you offer any "perks" or other types of compensation (i.e., per diem, free meals or coffee, gas cards, etc.) and/or if you are on a bus route or provide parking for employees. Note anything that will set your company apart from others that are hiring similar positions.
• Include details if you are willing to work with student scheduling or if you offer hybrid work (remote and onsite). Some experiences may qualify for academic credit and students should check with their career advisor.
• Contact a member of our Employer Relations Team at 470-578-2724 if you should need further assistance.
