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.

  • Jesuit schools across the country have a partnership program we call Reciprocity. If you are interested in working in another part of the country, or are looking for a summer internship back home, take advantage of one of our partner schools' job boards! If interested, email Jerry Goldstein at [email protected] with a copy of your resume and the school's job board you would like access to. Please note that can only utilize one other school's job board at a time.

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

    The Fordham Mentorship Network is an excellent opportunity to gain advice and valuable insights from alumni in various career industries. When you join as an 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.
