The Newhouse Career Development Center hosts seminars, career fairs and events with alumni and experts, all designed to help students step confidently from college to career.
SEMINARS
Job Hunt Series: We have two sessions that focus on teaching students how to do a proactive job search. Session one, Proactive vs. Reactive, covers how to organize a proactive, self-directed search and learn the strategies to plan a specific path to success. Our second session, Mastering Networking, teaches student how to establish and maintain professional relationship in the communications industry. Students learn the best practices of networking. After completing both sessions, students will gain access to the Newhouse Network.
As a supplement to the job hunt series, we offer Career Lab, a judgment free zone for students to work on their job search with support of CDC staff counselors.
Résumé & Cover Letter Writing: In this seminar we teach students how to create a one page, relevant résumé geared towards their target audience and how to write a strong cover letter.
Finding an Internship: There are a lot of internships out there! In our internship seminar we teach students how to conduct a proactive internship search, plus discover resources both on and off campus.
In addition to our regular seminars that are held weekly, we also host specific skills-based sessions on interviewing and how to successfully navigate career fairs.
EVENTS
