The Office of Human Resources oversees on-campus employment. The process of obtaining a campus job begins with students using the online Knox Handshake system. Here, the student may view available campus jobs and apply for the jobs they may be interested in. Incoming students will receive an email with directions on how to access their Handshake accounts in August prior to arrival in September. Once logged in, students can update their student profiles, view and apply for available on-campus jobs, and explore the free resources that will assist in career success. We encourage students to set up a notification for set filters so that they can be notified when new jobs are posted. 

For questions related to Handshake or how to apply for a job, please contact Rachel Russell- rrussell@knox.edu or Center for Career Success at careers@knox.edu

More information about how to apply for a job and employment requirements can be found on the Human Resource student employment webpage.  At new student orientation, staff from the Office of Human Resources will be able to answer any questions students have about on-campus student employment
