Job Descriptions Matter

Remember, students are usually looking at many different opportunities on Handshake and other sites, so job descriptions make a difference. Envision what the intern will be doing, what their days will be like, etc. This can help curate the job description as well as help with conversations with candidates going forward.

  • Brief description of the responsibilities of the internship and learning opportunities 
  • Required and preferred qualifications (usually skills) 
  • How many hours per week, wage, time and/or flexible hours 
  • How to apply 
  • A brief description of your organization’s mission, goals, values, and culture would also be a great addition to include for recruiting Gen Z students
