Nazareth College participates in special recruitment programs throughout the year coordinated by the Office of Career Services (for example, Teacher Recruitment Day and the Rochester Area Career Expo). These events draw a wide variety of recruiters from the Rochester area, and for teaching candidates, from across the country. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in these opportunities to establish connections with prospective employers. Events are listed in Handshake.

Students interested in consulting with a professional about their job or graduate school search may meet with the Career Services Director, Assistant Director, or Career Counselor by appointment. This is an excellent opportunity for students who are unsure of how to get started or who would like to investigate new approaches to the job search process. We also provide numerous online references listed below.

Employing organizations and graduate/professional schools visit Nazareth College each year to meet with interested students. Students are encouraged to visit Handshake frequently to check opportunities, and targeted e-mails are sent to students notifying them of upcoming visits. On-campus interview sign-ups occur throughout the academic year in the Office of Career Services. Graduating seniors and graduate students should regularly check the schedule on Handshake for any additions.

Nazareth alumni, seniors, graduate students, and students meeting state teacher certification requirements may establish a credential file containing letters of recommendation. This file may be used by either employers or graduate schools in the application/selection process. Registration for this service is required and a $10 fee is charged to set up the file. This fee covers the first 5 copies of the file sent to employers/graduate schools. Subsequent copies cost $2 each.

Full-time, part-time, summer, and work study job postings are updated daily in our online Handshake system. Students and alumni are encouraged to register for Handshake to search available positions. The website includes all on-campus recruitment activities, job fairs, and upcoming career events.
