The Career Services Office will work with you from the beginning of your time here to the day of graduation — and beyond. (We’re available to help alums, too.) Among other things, we  review resumes, weigh in on cover letters, brainstorm with you about internship and employment choices, give job-hunting workshops and information sessions and hold an annual fall Career Fair.

Our office will give you plenty of personal attention and — since you’re going to school in media-rich New York City — the chance to meet recruiters and journalists who may be in a position to hire you down the road.

A brief summary of what we offer:

• Individual interviews with each new student as classes begin in the fall

• Networking events and  panels with working journalists (including hiring editors)  about career planning, job searching, and freelancing

•  Recruiting visits by media outlets

• An annual job fair, where graduating students, new entrants and alumni can meet with prospective employers or internship partners

• Counseling and workshops on preparing cover letters, interviewing, creating demo reels of on-air work and negotiating salaries and other terms of employment

• Web resources: The Career Services pages of the J-school website has internship and job listings, information on freelance opportunities, links to professional and job-posting sites and more

The Director of Career Services also runs the Summer Internship Program. See the list of media organizations that have offered summer internships to our students.
