How You Can Help
Students
- Refer students to University Career Services for assistance with career development and employment issues and questions.
- Encourage your students to set up their profile on Handshake (St. John’s Recruiting Platform) for both internships and jobs via St.John’s SignOn – click on the Handshake icon.
- Invite us to speak in your classes at all levels to discuss career-related information aligned to your academic discipline.
Alumni
- Remind your majors that after graduation they will be in the position to mentor students in the classes behind them. For more information on how alumni can get involved with career services see our mentoring opportunities.
Employers
- Collect information about internships related to your major. Share this information with University Career Services.
- Refer any employer you meet who is interested in your academic program and your students to University Career Services and Handshake. If possible, share their contact information with Career Services for a follow-up contact.
- Attend on-campus programs hosted by visiting recruiters who are hiring your majors. This kind of interest on the part of faculty goes a long way toward cementing bonds between organizations and the University.
- When your department hosts a visiting speaker or a seminar with outside experts, find out if the speakers will talk with students interested in pursuing the same careers. If so, inform Career Services and we will work with you to make arrangements for this type of networking.
