Getting Experience
Career Center

The staff at The Career Center knows the value of work experience while you’re still a student.  Whether you are seeking a career-based experiential program (internship, clinical, field experience, or student teaching assignment) to broaden your skills and obtain relevant work experience, or need funds to offset your educational expenses through a part-time job, The Career Center staff can assist you. 

There are many different ways to locate internships and part-time jobs, and we recommend that you utilize all of them.  Recruiting organizations post their intern opportunities in Navigator, our career management job board exclusively for Seton Hall students and alumni. If you don't have a Navigator account, call our office at (973) 761-9355 to meet with a career professional. The Career Center also has provided Seton Hall students access to internships.com, a premium web site dedicated to intern postings.  Information on how to access this resource is available through your Career Center Resources community in PirateNet

In addition to online resources, The Career Center offers opportunities to meet representatives from hiring organizations through our many career events and on-campus interviews.  Also, our Pirate Mentors (Seton Hall alumni who have volunteered to assist students and alumni) can provide access to the “hidden job market”.  We also encourage you to read through this Web site for other resources and information to help with your career search. 

Internships

Internships are a highly valued form of career-based learning at Seton Hall. The Career Center manages a large and diverse internship program, and we’re proud of the reputation that we’ve earned throughout the employer and academic community. More than 500 students participate each year, providing them with the opportunity to develop skills and begin to create a professional network. (The School of Diplomacy manages a required internship within the School.)

 

All internships are screened and approved for the work and learning value that they can offer our students. Internship employers provide on-going feedback to their interns and conduct a performance evaluation of the intern at the completion of the internship.

 

The Career Center recommends that all students seeking intern opportunities should start their search six months prior to the semester that they intend to intern.  Read more »

 

Part Time Jobs
A part-time job can be a great stepping stone for students to gain skills and prepare for future internship opportunities.  Part-time jobs can also provide students additional income to help pay for the costs of education. To search and apply for these positions in The Career Center’s Navigator job board, you will first need to read and understand the University’s Student Guideline. Read more »
