Career Services
Skyler Reid
Staffed by experienced journalists, our office is dedicated to helping students, recent alumni and employers navigate an increasingly competitive media industry.
Students and recent alumni turn to us to learn about career opportunities and to plan and develop their individual career goals. We counsel and connect students to help find meaningful jobs and internships in New York, the U.S. and around the globe.
We also are a resource for employers. Media executives say our graduates set themselves apart not only through their superb training and skill sets but through their diversity and sheer grit. We are here to help you find the best journalists for your organization.
What we offer our students
Guaranteed Paid Internship
Our students graduate with on-the-job experience thanks to our required summer internship. The school guarantees that every student will be paid, either by the employer or with a stipend from the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism.
Individual Career Advising
We work with you one-on-one to develop a personalized career strategy based on your individual interests, experience and goals. Our counselors help with resumes, cover letters, online portfolios and interview preparation while serving as a resource to help find a summer internship and, later, a job.
Career Development Programs
Students are regularly introduced to working journalists from leading media organizations through information sessions, workshops, practice interview sessions and on-campus recruiting.
Career Fairs
We host three recruiting fairs each year:
Job & Internship Fair in October. Our premiere recruiting event features more than 50 major media organizations.
Latino Job & Internship Fair in November. Bilingual students meet with recruiters from Spanish and Latino-focused media.
Community Media Job & Internship Fair in February. Your opportunity to meet local editors.
LinkedIn Learning
LinkedIn Learning is an educational platform that offers video courses to teach resume writing, interview and career networking skills. It’s a wonderful resource for members of the Newmark J-School community, and it’s completely free. Click here to log in using your Newmark J-School Google account.
