Handshake, Nebraska’s new career platform, now offers a research recording tool for students who want to showcase their skills to potential employers.

The tool allows students to list all paid or volunteer research experiences, including participation in UCARE. A faculty mentor must first confirm participation in the research activity.

Students can follow the instructions below to record their experiences:

• After creating a Handshake profile, click “Career Center” and select “Experiences,” then “Request an Experience”
• Complete the Details section and set Experience Type as “Undergraduate Research – Report a Position – Fall 2018” from the drop-down menu
• Complete the Employer section
• Complete the Job section, and for Job, input “Undergraduate Researcher”
• For Job Type, select “Experiential Learning” from the drop-down menu
• Complete the Approvers section by providing a relevant faculty mentor’s email address
• Complete the General section and click “Request Experience”
