Welcome to the NEW Fordham Career Services Blog

Hello and welcome to the Fordham Career Services blog! Here at Career Services we’re so excited to have this new medium to communicate with students, advertise job opportunities, and help the Fordham community navigate the world of work. Between our staff, student workers, and career ambassadors we’ve got quite a collection of interesting posts heading your way.

Ever wondered how Fordham graduates do in the real world? We’ll be offering profiles and interviews of Fordham alumni from a variety of different industries. These men and women will discuss their personal stories, the value of a Fordham education, and their advice on entering the job market.

Want to know how to really impress an employer? Read our Employer Spotlights where we consult representatives from competitive firms and organizations and pick their brains as to what Fordham students can do to get ahead in their fields. It’s all the guidance you’d get from attending an informational interview, except we do the work and bring it to you!

As students, we know you have other interests besides reading about the daily lives of established professionals. To that end, we’ll be showcasing how current Fordham students are utilizing the Office of Career Services, engaging in successful job and internship searches, and taking advantage of the diverse career opportunities that exist in the workplace. Getting the perspective and experiences of your fellow Rams will be eye-opening and exciting, and will provide you with unique insight into initiating your own successful job or internship search and gaining hands-on work experience. As a means to that end, we will also highlight jobs & internship opportunities, and provide you with information on what qualifications the companies are looking for and how you can apply for these opportunities. Are you also looking for a part-time job to make some extra cash? Look no further, as we will be posting local paid opportunities here as well.

In addition to all of these spotlights, we’ll also cover new developments in the job market, report on career-focused articles and provide advice on resumes, cover letters, networking, interviewing and more.  We look forward to this new opportunity to connect with you and help you navigate the job market!
