Rowan University students and alumni have access to the ProfsJobs system to search for internships and job opportunities.  Employers are encouraged to post all open positions available throughout the year.  There is no charge to employers for posting positions.

Employers that have previously posted opportunities at the university can post jobs by:

• Log into ProfsJobs using your email address and password (if you have forgotten your password you may request a new one through the site).
• Select the create job posting from the shortcut menu on the right-hand side of the page
• Complete the form to describe your position
• Contact any students directly that apply that you wish to speak to

New employers can post jobs by:

• Visit ProfsJobs
• On the right-hand side of the page, select the "sign up and post a job" option
• Input information about your role and organization, please note we require corporate email addresses to be used in creating an account (hotmail, gmail, aol, and similar accounts have been associated with fraudulent postings and we no longer allow)
• Contact any students directly that apply that you wish to speak to

The Office of Career Advancement reviews all jobs prior to students/alumni having access to them.  The review process normally takes 24 hours.  We reserve the right to not post opportunities (typically over 95% of jobs are approved). 

Rowan University expects employers working with the Office of Career Advancement to adhere to NACE (The National Association of Colleges and Employers) Principles for Professional Practice. The principles developed by NACE are designed to provide practitioners with three basic precepts for career planning and recruitment:

• Maintain an open and free selection of employment and experiential learning opportunities in an atmosphere conducive to objective thought, where job candidates can choose to optimize their talents and meet their personal objectives;
• Maintain a recruitment process that is fair and equitable;
• Support informed and responsible decision making by candidates.

Advertising Positions for Neurodivergent Candidates 

• Do include clear job descriptions and carefully consider what is needed. Regarding nice to have skills and experience (watch out for words like excellent communication skills, self-starter can be replaced with resourceful). 
• Do make commitment to neurodiversity clear (include language in job descriptions – We encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply including those who are neurodiverse and have disabilities).  
• Do include neurodiversity and disability on our careers website, case studies to demonstrate the point, and contact information for requesting accommodations on website and in job postings. 
• DO NOT use panel interviews with multiple interviewers  
• DO try to identify the candidate’s strength  
• DO make sure the candidate is comfortable before you begin, pick a quiet room, if virtual ensure video and audio are functioning well, ask the candidate if he/she is okay with the lighting and noise, speak slowly, ask one question at a time 
• DO ask specific questions, avoid jargon and conditional questions (for example, what were the principle day to day tasks you had to complete in your most recent role? vs. Why should we hire you?) 
•  DO consider how you interject - To move on to the next question, say – “Thank you for that answer, you’ve told enough about that. I would like to ask you a different question now”.  
• DO NOT ask questions about disability – such as, “This job will engage frequently with customers, do you need an accommodation to do this?”. 
• DO always make sure your candidate understands your expectations, this ensures that they will be able to do their best.

The Autism PATH (Preparation and Achievement in the Transition to Hire) Program at Rowan University is designed to support neurodivergent students and alumni in the transition to meaningful employment post-graduation.
