After you have taken the seminar, you can email nhcdc@syr.edu with the subject line “Résumé or Cover Letter Review.” Due to the high volume of requests it will be at least 24 to 48 hours to receive feedback.

Good news! We offer seminars throughout the academic year to help
We try our best to schedule our seminars during different times and days throughout the academic year. We hope you can try to make one of these times work to get more in-depth information. However, if none of the sessions work for your schedule, be sure to utilize our resources page for quick tips, videos, and handouts on several career topics.
For specific career topic questions:
The Newhouse Network is a database of Newhouse alumni who have volunteered to be networking contacts for students and fellow alumni. In order to gain access to the database students are required to take our Job Hunt series to learn how to conduct a proactive job search and the nuances of networking. The seminar is a way to ensure that students are reaching out to our alumni in a professional manner.
The Job Hunt series is targeted towards seniors and graduate students. Freshman, sophomore and juniors can reach out to the CDC at nhcdc@syr.edu about the process of getting connected to alumni via an appointment with a CDC Counselor.
Please reach out to nhcdc@syr.edu with your name, year, program and the dates you attended Job Hunt session 1 and 2. We will check our attendance records and email you the instructions on how to gain access to the Newhouse Network.
