What this event is
A Verizon Lead Campus Recruiter holds drop-in hours at Rutgers on Tuesday, October 13, 2026 from 10 AM to 1 PM at the Career Exploration and Success offices on College Ave and Busch campuses. Students can get a resume review, run a mock interview, and ask about Verizon's hiring process and openings. Registration is through Handshake.
Roles you will actually see
Who should go
Rutgers students and alumni targeting Verizon's software, network and data roles in Basking Ridge and beyond.
Recruiter drop-ins beat career fairs because you get ten uninterrupted minutes instead of ninety seconds. Verizon is one of New Jersey's largest H-1B filers, so sponsorship is a realistic conversation, but its campus programs are competitive and application windows close fast. Come with your resume already tailored to a specific Verizon job ID and ask the recruiter to flag it. Do not waste the slot on generic career advice.
Show up prepared

- 2Apply to one Verizon early-career software or network role beforehand and bring the req number
- 3Prepare two questions about team structure and the campus-to-full-time path
Sponsorship reality
Known H-1B sponsor. This employer has a public H-1B filing history in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Ask about sponsorship for the specific role, not the company in general.
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.
