Employer FAQs

---

1. How can my organization promote openings to students?

UW Career Services utilizes the website Handshake to connect students with career opportunities. Creating a profile and job posting on Handshake is the best way to efficiently advertise your opening to UW students. You can visit Wyoming.joinhandshake.com, then click on “Create an Account” and follow the steps. For technical support, please visit support.joinhandshake.com.

We can also promote your position internally. Each week, our staff selects open positions from many on Handshake to show students a selection of available jobs. We would be happy to include your position on the weekly email at your request. Please email success@uwyo.edu if you wish to have your position included in the weekly email.

2. How can I get involved with the Meet the Firms accounting job fair in the fall?

The Peter M. & Paula Green Johnson Student Success Center does not administer the Meet the Firms event. Please contact the current Beta Alpha Psi president or advisor in order to arrange participation.

3. What other ways are there to connect with UW students besides posting in Handshake?

We would love to host your organization as part of the semesterly job fairs or for an informational workshop or session at some point in the semester. Please contact Kaley Holyfield (kholyfi1@uwyo.edu) for information on how to arrange an employer visit or participation in the job fair.

4. How often are there job fairs?

We host one job fair per semester, in partnership with the Advising, Career, and Exploratory Studies Center and the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. We also host a plethora of employers on campus in the weeks leading up to the job fair and throughout the semester, and travel every fall with students to the Colorado Job Fair.

5. How can I participate in the job fair?

Please contact ACES or the Peter M. & Paula Green Johnson Student Success Center. The center's phone number is 766-8249. We also encourage you to email us at success@uwyo.edu.

6. I’d like to reach out to candidates on my own. Can you provide a list of students with a particular GPA?

Due to FERPA regulations, we cannot release student information to employers. However, we encourage you to use the many capabilities of Handshake to reach out to students who may fit your requirement. You can tailor a job posting for a plethora of different requirements.
