Current UNT Students and Alumni
To view internships or full-time employment opportunities from off-campus employers,
please use the UNT Handshake system. Employers interested in hiring SMHM students
have been asked to post their jobs in Handshake. If you do not have an account in
Handshake, you can create one by clicking on this link - https://careercenter.unt.edu/handshake-login/. If you already have a Handshake account, please search for opportunities either
under the “Jobs” or “Internships” categories.” Please also use the UNT SMHM Careers Group page in LinkedIn.
Employers
We appreciate your interest in hiring current School of Merchandising and Hospitality
Management students and/or alumni for your employment opportunities. Employers are
asked to post your available positions in our UNT Handshake system. If you already
have an account in Handshake, please post your opportunities. If you do not have
a Handshake account, you can set one up by following the instructions at this link
- https://careercenter.unt.edu/handshake-information-for-employers/. You are also welcome to email your job postings to Dee Wilson, SMHM Career Coach for her to be aware of when meeting with students, as well as
to share with our Internship Coordinators and to have posted on our social media.
The UNT School of Merchandising and Hospitality Management invites you to the SMHM Career Expo on Tuesday, September 22, 2026 at the University Union on the UNT Denton Campus.
The SMHM Career Expo combines all 5 majors in SMHM into a day of recruiting to fill your part-time, full-time, and internship position vacancies. Our 5 majors include Merchandising (Fashion or Furnishings & Décor), Digital Retailing, Consumer Experience Management, Hospitality Management, and Event Design & Experience Management. Our Expo features the career expo itself, a student networking luncheon, and interview sessions. Choose your sponsorship level based on how you would like to have to interact with our students. See details below.
**Because our majors must work and intern within the retail (merchandising, ecommerce, consumer experience) or hospitality/event industries as part of their graduation requirements, we must require all employers at the SMHM Career Expo to also be within these industries.**
