NOTE: Positions posted in Handshake are posted on behalf of the external employer. Applying, interviewing, and accepting positions at external organizations is at your own discretion. External organizations are responsible for the compliance and validity of their positions and hiring practices. These positions are posted with the expectation that all University policies, along with all local, state and federal laws and regulations are followed. BGSU does not review for pre-approval prior to the position being posted on Handshake. If you suspect an external employer is not adhering to all university policies and/or laws or if you suspect any fraudulent activity, please contact the Kuhlin Hub for Career Design and Connections at 419-372-2356 or kuhlinhub@bgsu.edu For any questions regarding on-campus positions, please contact Student Employment Services at 419-372-2865 or stuemp@bgsu.edu.
