Access Job Openings
Mawrter Connect is an enhanced, professional and personal networking experience, launching in Fall 2019. The Jobs Board allows community members to share or post opportunities for alumnae/i (including employment, volunteer positions, fellowships, Board Service, and projects).
Handshake is the career management platform for students and alumnae/i. Sign in to view opportunities from organizations in diverse industries from around the globe.
The Career & Civic Engagement Center implemented Handshake in 2017 to manage jobs and internships, events, and other resources. As an alum you may also use Handshake to:
- Schedule appointments with Career Engagement staff
- Recruit at Bryn Mawr College: promote or refer jobs and internships for students and other alumnae/i.
How to log in to Handshake:

- First-time users, follow these instructions to create a password.
Special Situations Related to Email Username
Please contact Ellen Sanders, Administrative Program Coordinator, at esanders@brynmawr.edu or 610-526-5174 for assistance with the following:
- Alums are not able to use .edu email address because Handshake interprets that as a student account from that institution. You may request a new account in this instance.
- Avoid creating a new account until you have confirmed whether you have an existing account. If you have multiple email addresses, we can confirm which one is in the system already (if any).
- If you prefer to use a different email address as your username, we can initiate that change.
- If you register as an Employer in Handshake, please use your work email. Alumnae/i using Handshake for their personal job search or networking should ideally use a personal email domain.
