General Policies

Graduate students currently enrolled in the Masters level degree programs and alumni of the Masters program at John Jay College can meet with the graduate career advisor to discuss non-academic professional development and other career related concerns.

All consultations are confidential and scheduled by appointment. Walk-ins are also welcomed. The career advisor will assist graduate students with academic and non-academic career information in support of career options as they relate to internships, externships, global experiences, summer employment, recruitment and professional placement.

Scheduling appointments 
Graduate students should be prompt. If you are delayed or need to be rescheduled, please contact the career advisor.

Letters of Recommendation
The Office of Graduate Studies and the Graduate Career Advisor do not generally write letters of recommendation for graduate students seeking internships and/or employment. However, where appropriate and at the discretion of the advisor, a graduate student can secure a letter of acknowledgement from the graduate career advisor indicating that the student is currently enrolled at the college, in good standing and a participant of the college’s career services. 

Recruitment
Graduate students participating in college recruitment efforts must be appropriately dressed and present resumes approved by the graduate career advisor for distribution to prospective employers. Students who are contacted for interviews and accept employment opportunities must notify the career advisor.
