We encourage employers to host an information session to launch your recruitment efforts at John Jay. Employer Information sessions and presentations can greatly enhance your on-campus recruitment effort. Sessions early on in the semester raise student knowledge and awareness about your organization, thereby increasing the number of resumes submitted and candidates interested in your organization’s employment opportunities.
