Placement Services

SCILS students seeking help with job placement and career development are urged to make an appointment with Rutgers Career Services for individual and group counseling, including help with resume writing, interview preparation, and search strategies. Students and other job seekers in the areas of communication, journalism, and library and information science will also find the SCILS Placement website to be helpful. The site includes a searchable database of hundreds of jobs and information about accessing the Rutgers/MonsterTrak database of jobs. The site also has links to dozens of other job posting and career advising sites. Employers looking to hire may post their jobs directly to the SCILS Placement site.

Posting Notices 

SCILS student organizations, academic programs, and administration post notices of upcoming events and other items of interest on bulletin boards around the building and on the SCILS events calendar on this website.  There is one bulletin board in the SCILS building available for use of non-SCILS groups; it is currently near the Student Lounge.  Please note that it is the policy of the school that notices posted on doors, walls, or other unacceptable venues will be taken down.
