42 Warren Street, Newark, NJ 07102
What this event is
Rutgers University-Newark hosts its Fall 2026 Raider Career and Internship Fair on Wednesday, October 14, 2026 from 11 AM to 4 PM at 42 Warren Street in Newark. The fair is open to Rutgers-Newark undergraduate and graduate students and connects them with employers recruiting for internships and full-time roles; registration runs through Handshake.
Roles you will actually see
Who should go
Rutgers-Newark computer science, information systems and data science students and recent alumni.
This is a general fair, so scan the Handshake employer list first and only queue for the booths posting technical roles. Newark's anchor employers (Prudential, PSEG, Audible, the Port Authority) recruit here and several sponsor, but you have to ask booth by booth. Print resumes, wear business casual, and treat it as a lead-generation exercise you follow up on LinkedIn within 48 hours.
Show up prepared
- 1Review the employer list on Handshake and shortlist five tech-hiring booths
- 2Print 10 resumes and update your Handshake profile
- 3Draft LinkedIn follow-up notes the same evening
Sponsorship reality
Sponsorship varies by employer. No organizer publishes sponsorship. Check each employer you plan to meet against H-1B disclosure data before you go, and ask in the first two minutes so neither side wastes the conversation.
Showing up is half of it.
The other half is being first to the roles these employers post, and having something real to show when you get there.
See roles the minute they go live, tailor one resume per employer, and reach the hiring manager directly. Walk into the event as a follow-up, not a stranger.
