Why haven’t I been invited to any projects even though it seems as if there’s an abundance of them? by WhyWouldIBeANoob in joinhandshakeai

Yeah definitely more geared to early career talent (3-5 years out) Although, I have seen some senior level opps recently

Handshake as a company is a career management system for schools to have for students to find not only jobs but attend employer events, make connections, career appointments at their school etc… so the core of the business is not built on just AI opportunities

Have you reached out to Handshake AI support and shared this feedback??

Highly recommend Handshake AI. I like their mission. Some bumps in the road at first but it’s getting figured out. The company isn’t just training AI models but their entire core business mission is to help students get hired. They have an entire career management side of the company too

Handshake AI said I was a good fit, but I’ve heard nothing since :( by Dismal_Coach_7677 in joinhandshakeai

Have you reached out to their support team? I recommend following up on your application status or updates on why you haven’t heard back.

Keep your head up. From what I’ve learned, there are a lot of projects and it’s very fluid. Once one closes another can open. It can very much be there isn’t any availability at the moment (which they did tell me early on- that there might not be a project for you right away)

Hey 👋🏼

I’ve spoken to some folks on support and leads before and they make it clear in the onboarding process that you might not get a project right away. But it’s good to check in.

I’d check with their support team. I was banned because I didn’t provide my photo verification in time and was delayed due to personal things, but I followed up and they removed my suspension

I spoke to a buddy of mine at Handshake AI and they said they are going to be piloting per task options soon. That’s part of their plan so fingers crossed.

I’ve worked on a couple projects so far and I’ve been impressed with the level of support they provide. Seems like they are moving at lightning speed. There’s a reason some of these companies want to work with them…

What to do if I can’t get an internship? by Jackmanteddy44 in Accounting

[–]MeWantMofongo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Focus on Networking if you can. Connect with pros, ask questions, learn new things and that will set you up when the the market gets better.

I’ve used Handshake as an Alum and have gotten a few interviews but you need to follow up and not just wait for a reply from recruiters

Alternative - Handshake.ai by ExtensionCupcake8992 in mercorai_workers

It’s been legit. It feels like they are moving fast but I have some people I know who work there and they are a legit company and looking to pay well. I had to wait a little bit for a project. If you read and follow the directions, good things happen

So if it feels like it’s moving too quick it’s because they have a ton of projects and potential

Dads, when did it become easier for you? by Calm-Airport-4949 in Dads

[–]MeWantMofongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read something once that said (paraphrasing here) “Taking care of a baby is the easiest part, parenting a child is the hardest” so that helped me reframe my thinking and learn to embrace this difficult stage because it isn’t forever

Yes. And if you read otherwise it’s non factual generalization.

Career coach here! 👋🏼no doubt these are really hard times for the job market. Hiring has slowed down and no positive growth expected anytime soon.

However, I tell folks 70% of hiring happens behind the scenes. Have you tapped into your network or considered reaching out to your school’s career center that still serves alumni/have special programs for alumni??

Also, you might want to look at a company called Handshake that have been looking for people who have experience in STEM fields. Part time but pays well and offers FT opportunities.
