Library Positions
The University of Illinois uses Handshake to present employment and experiential learning opportunities to students and alumni. Handshake is a powerful tool for finding entry-level jobs, hourly positions, internships, practicums, volunteer opportunities, and campus assistantships. The employers who post opportunities are actively recruiting talent from the iSchool and the University of Illinois. Employers can search student profiles and public resumés, so be sure your profile is complete and your resumé is public. Sign-in to Handshake with your net-id and password to get started.
Each year hundreds of internships, practicum opportunities, and jobs are posted to Handshake. Handshake is also the home platform for the Government, Library, Archive, and Museum (GLAM) Virtual Career Jam, which takes place each February. Make that your first stop for networking and career opportunities.
