Career Fairs
Career fairs are an opportunity to meet with organizations and alumni interested in hiring Princeton students for full-time jobs and summer internships.
Information Sessions, Coffee Chats
Information sessions are events hosted by employers where they share details about their organization including its mission and work, workplace culture and internship or job opportunities.
Coffee chats give students an opportunity to connect one-on-one with an employer and to ask questions about their organization, career paths, applications/recruiting or any other professional topic. While it is not a formal recruiting program, it does provide a chance to explore career options and start to develop a network.
