Campus Recruiting

The Campus Recruiting Program is designed to bring employers and students together during the students' final year of study. It offers graduating students the opportunity of interviewing, prior to graduation - on and off campus - for full time positions with employers looking to hire St. John's graduates. Representatives from many organizations come from a variety of fields such as business, non-profit, government and education.

You are strongly encouraged to utilize the Campus Recruiting Program as the first step in your job search.

All undergraduate and graduate students can take part in this program during the year that they are graduating. For example, all 2009 graduates (this includes January 2009, May/June 2009, Sept. 2009) can start interviewing during the Fall 2008 semester and continue through the Spring 2009 semester.
