  • Representatives from hundreds of major organizations visit Fordham each year to recruit Fordham students from all academic backgrounds and professional interest areas! In addition to more broad career and internship fairs, we also host tailored fairs catered to our diverse student population’s specific interests.

  • Employers from a variety of industries will host in-person and online info sessions to provide an in-depth overview of their company’s opportunities, recruiting timelines, and culture. Students and alumni have the opportunity to ask questions and connect with the recruiters, as well as potentially be invited back to attend a coffee chat or interview for available positions. Previous hosts have included LVMH, EY, Netflix, Barclays, and NYU Langone. To be eligible for coffee chats and on-campus interview days, enroll in our Campus Recruiting Program.

  • The Fordham Career Center at Rose Hill and Lincoln Center offers interview rooms for students and alumni to reserve for virtual interviews, practice virtual interviews, virtual appointments with CPS, or meetings related to Ram Career Network mentorship programs. You will be asked to verify your reservation through a screenshot of your interview/meeting confirmation.

    Reserving an interview room for a purpose other than the ones outlined in this form, or other inappropriate behavior related to reservations, may result in temporary or permanent suspension of access to interview rooms.

    Interview room reservations are subject to availability.
  • Networking is key to professional success! The Fordham Career Center currently offers two main platforms for networking with Fordham students and alumni.

    RamConnect is an excellent opportunity to gain advice and valuable insights from alumni in various career industries. When you join as a student, you will be able to gain fresh perspectives from alumni, enhance your communication and networking skills, and learn from alumni on how to navigate your career and advanced educational experiences. The platform also boasts a job board and is home to networking affinity groups as well as our mentoring programs.
