We can also arrange for a space on campus for employers to conduct interviews with our students and alumni.  To reserve a date, please contact career@hilbert.edu.

Signature Events

Throughout the school year the Office of Career Development hosts and co-sponsors a variety of signature events such as the Annual Involvement/Part-Time Jobs Fair each September, Criminal Justice & Forensic Science Career Expo, and our All-Majors Career Fair in the spring. You are encouraged to take part in one of these well-established programs and others for campus-wide publicity and broad exposure to students and recent graduates.

Host a Customized Workshop

Employers are welcome to participate in an existing workshop, or create their own. Resume do’s and don’ts, interviewing tips, and how to conduct an effective job search are just a few of the topics that we want our students to know about. Hearing directly from employers about what the “real world” is looking for in an employee, and best practices on how to conduct yourself as a professional, is invaluable to our students.

Membership

The office is also a member of the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) and adheres to and promotes its Principles of Professional Conduct. Learn more about NACE.
