MetroLink
UCS offers hiring fairs in New York and Washington, DC with a focus on industries typically underepresented in our On-Campus Interview Program, including publishing, think tanks, fashion, advertising, public relations, government agencies, and law offices. Differing from a career fair, Metro Link events afford students the opportunity to pre-schedule on-site interviews for full-time, entry-level positions. |
