With the continuing situation regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus), the Career Center has modified its delivery of services. Roadrunners, we endeavor to meet your needs while keeping the health and safety of students, employers and staff a priority.

Student Assistant Program:

All available Student Assistant positions will be posted on Handshake. Use the keyword ‘RCNJ’ to search for available on-campus jobs. Most positions will be posted by August 20th.
