On May 14, 2018 the UCLA Career Center transitioned from BruinView to Handshake. All currently enrolled UCLA undergraduate, graduate students and alumni with membership information has automatically been moved over into Handshake. Please refer to the "How to Access Handshake" link for more information.

Once you log in, you will be prompted to fill out your profile. You can choose to make your profile visible to employers. We highly recommend you upload a resume and complete your profile so that the most relevant opportunities are pushed to you. Handshake is a dynamic system, so the more information you provide about yourself, the more relevant career opportunities and resources will be. Visit the "For You" tab to see how information is best curated for you.

Pre-populated information in Handshake is updated daily for currently enrolled students from your MyBruin account, which is controlled by the Office of the Registrar. Any changes to your information must be requested through the Registrar. You can update your profile to reflect recent experiences, relevant skills and interests. However, your core profile information including your degree program, email account, and major are all automatically connected through your UCLA record. GPA and citizenship status are not automatically uploaded, but should be accurately represented in any employment application process.

Fraudulent employers can and do attempt to post job listings on Handshake in order to obtain money or identity information from unsuspecting students. Although the UCLA Career Center staff reviews all new employer accounts to determine that contact information appears valid and job descriptions appear legitimate, some fraudulent parties have succeeded in posting jobs and internships. In order to help safeguard students against potential threats, we are providing the following guidelines.

If you become suspicious that an employer or contact may be fraudulent, please report this immediately to questions@career.ucla.edu or call the UCLA Career Center's Handshake team at 310-206-1902.

When interacting with contacts found in Handshake who present themselves as legitimate employers, please stop all communication and notify the UCLA Career Center team immediately if you experience any of the following:

• 1. 1. A job or internship is offered by phone or email on the spot, with no interview or meeting. (Request to meet with the employer in person at their place of business and confirm before meeting that it is not a residential address)
  2. 2. The employer contact claims that her or she is out of the country and unavailable to meet, but wants you to start employment immediately. (You should not start work or agree to any task or transaction until meeting with the employer)
  3. 3. The employer sends you a check and requests that you deposit it into your personal bank account as part of your job duties. (Cease all contact with the employer and do not deposit any check. Please retain any correspondence and provide when reporting to UCLA Career Center staff)
  4. 4. You are requested to use funds from your bank account to purchase gift cards, gift certificates, or merchandise, and asked to ship purchases to employer address.
  5. 5. You are asked to provide your social security number, credit card information, or other personal or financial information over the phone or by email.
  6. 6. The employer is unwilling or unable to provide any background information on their company or declines to provide a verifiable company address or phone number.
  7. 7. You are asked to purchase products or services.
  8. 8. You are asked to engage in work activities that appear questionable or illegal.

After receiving credible and concerning information about an employer's hiring practices, we will launch an immediate investigation and suspend their account and work with appropriate UCLA authorities and/or law enforcement.

Handshake is UCLA's online career management platform where employers post jobs, internships, postdocs, and fellowships. This is also where postdocs can sign up for career-related events, info sessions, and recruitment opportunities. Finally, we have curated career-related resources specifically for Postdoctoral Scholars in Handshake.

Once your Postdoctoral appointment is confirmed and you are officially hired at UCLA, you can sign up for Handshake. We have pre-loaded your information in Handshake, so you simply need to log in using your UID and password, which should take you through UCLA's multi-factor authentication. From there you can set up your profile and start looking at jobs and resources.

Postdoctoral scholars at UCLA have access to Handshake, PhD and postdoc specific career events, career fairs, employer information sessions and career resources.

Because Postdoctoral Scholars are employees of the University, they can seek Career advising through Campus Human Resources by emailing Julia Sanchez at juliasanchez@chr.ucla.edu

The David Geffen School of Medicine Office of Postdoctoral Affairs and the UCLA Graduate Division work with Postdoctoral Scholars and can help identify additional resources and offices at UCLA.
