What employers are saying about recruiting

Hear directly from employers about what is happening in the current environment with regards to recruiting engineering students for jobs and internships.
Tips from Employers

Rowan University’s Office of Career Advancement, in collaboration with the Rutgers University-Camden Career Center asked employers, “What is one piece of advice you would offer to students who are applying for jobs/internships during this unprecedented time?” Here’s what they said:

  1. Be persistent and stay engaged.  Get in the pipeline now so that when active hiring resumes, you are already engaged. Keep applying and searching opportunities
  2. Be patient. Even though there may not currently be many opportunities, be patient.  Companies want/need employees but it may take time as they are also adjusting to this temporary environment.
  3. Develop your virtual proficiency. Be prepared to participate in online interviewing.  Practice your skills for remote competency.
  4. Be flexible and adaptable. Be open to opportunities that currently do not align precisely with your goal or major.  Widen your search location and job title.  
  5. Network remotely.  Use LInkedIn.  
  6. Stay positive. This is just a temporary obstacle.  Try to remain positive and take this opportunity to remotely learn new skills.
