EMPLOYER INFORMATION SESSIONS:

Employers from different industries visit The Career Center each semester to host information sessions for students to learn about opportunities within their organizations. Many of these employers recruit candidates at Hofstra University, and use this opportunity to select potential interview candidates for full-time and internship opportunities. For a complete list of information sessions, call or stop by The Career Center, visit hofstra.edu/career, or access the calendar on your Pride-Career Management System (Pride-CMS) account. All information sessions are held at The Career Center, unless otherwise noted. Professional business attire is strongly recommended.

Careers in the Federal Government
Over the next two years the largest federal agencies project that they will need to fill nearly 193,000 job openings. With the growing need to attract top talent; an increase in the amount agencies are spending on student loan repayment, signing bonuses and relocation expenses; and unparalleled opportunities to pursue a wide array of career experiences, this is a great time for job-seekers to enter into federal service. The government offers employment opportunities across the country and around the world to candidates from every academic discipline. Join us for a program to meet Hofstra graduates who are working in federal service positions and a representative from the federal government who will help you learn how to find and apply for the job or internship that is right for you. Lunch will be served.
