Handshake Student User Agreement

1. PROFILE INFORMATION: I agree to keep my Handshake account information current, including my contact information, grade point average (GPA), and relevant experiences, as well as maintaining an up-to-date version of my résumé. I understand that if I choose to keep grade point average (GPA) and/or work authorization private in my Handshake profile, my application may default to “not meeting qualifications” for positions to which I apply, even if my GPA or work authorization meets the minimum qualifications for the role.
2. MISREPRESENTATION: I will represent myself accurately (GPA, work authorization, past experiences, etc.) in all application activities, including applications, résumés, cover letters, and interviews, and I will use my full name and @carleton.edu email address when participating in virtual programs.
3. OFFERS: Should I accept an offer for an internship or full-time employment, either orally or in writing, I will do so in good faith with the full intention of honoring my commitment. After I accept an internship or job offer, I will immediately withdraw all pending applications and cancel all scheduled interviews. I will honor all employment agreements with employers / organizations.
4. EMPLOYERS AND OPPORTUNITIES: I acknowledge that the Career Center makes a reasonable effort to verify the legitimacy of employers and positions, but are unable to verify every event, organization, and posting. I understand I must perform due diligence in researching employers when applying for or accepting an offer of employment.
5. PARTICIPATION IN CAREER CENTER PROGRAMS: I understand that my participation in Career Center events is limited to students and alumni in good standing. I acknowledge that my conduct impacts the reputation of Carleton College, our relationships with alumni and employers, and future opportunities for Carleton students. I will uphold Carleton College’s community standards and shared community values and the Career Center’s expectations listed here.

Carleton College has no control over and takes no responsibility for (a) the truthfulness, accuracy, quality, safety, morality, desirability, or legality of employer information, position listings, (b) the ability of employers to offer job opportunities, or (c) the hiring, recruiting, or other practices of any employer.

Equal opportunity for all is an essential part of Carleton’s recognition that diversity expands the Carleton community’s intellectual horizons and enriches the teaching, working, living and learning environment. Carleton College is committed to the principle that its educational facilities, activities and employment opportunities shall be offered without regard to race, color, creed, ethnicity, religion, gender, national origin, marital status, veteran status, actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, status with regard to public assistance, disability or age. Carleton College prohibits discrimination against or harassment of any student, applicant, visitor or employee because of race, color, creed, ethnicity, religion, gender, national origin, marital status, veteran status, actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, status with regard to public assistance, disability or age.
