On-Campus Recruiting
It is important to put the on-campus recruiting program into perspective as there are many career options for liberal arts students and only a sampling of employers can recruit on campus each year. The majority of recruiters are large, private sector employers who recruit for business-related positions. A few public-sector and mid-size employers also recruit each year. Approximately 20-30% of A&S job-seeking graduates get their jobs through on-campus recruiting.
We encourage you to sign-up for Cornell CareerNet, a web-based system that brings you career-related information, job and internship postings (including, but not limited to, on-campus recruiting), alumni mentor contacts, and more. Resources for conducting career research are also available through the site. Completing a Cornell CareerNet profile enables you to learn about career-related opportunities on campus through targeted emails.
Many employers conduct on-campus interviews for full-time positions in the fall though some will interview on-campus in the early spring semester. On-campus interviews for internships are conducted mostly in the spring, with a few conducted each fall.
Please see the Cornell Career Services website for more information on on-campus recruiting.
