I’m looking for a role in a certain industry. Do you have any opportunities for me?

We have tons of entry through mid-level jobs and internships available in a variety of industries at New York and Chicago’s coolest companies. You can see all openings on our job board, and keep an eye on our events calendar for upcoming recruiting events.

I applied for a role on the FindSpark job board. When will I hear back?

Way to go! Your application has been sent straight to the employer, so they’ll be in touch with you directly if they think it’s a good fit.

I registered for an event but can no longer attend. Can I get a refund?

We’re bummed you can’t make it. We’re unable to provide refunds but you have a couple of options. You can transfer your ticket to someone else, or we can give you a credit to apply towards a future event. Just fill out this form and we’ll help you out.

I’m registering for a FindSpark event. Which ticket type should I select?

Most of our events offer three ticket types: Student, Recent Grad, and Young Pro. Each ticket comes with the same perks, so select whichever career level you identify with the most.

Do you offer any discounts for FindSpark events?

Yes! FindSpark Premium Members receive 50% off all our events, plus access to our FindMentorship Program, free movie screenings, exclusive content, and tons of other perks.

Is there an age limit for FindSpark events?

Our content and programs are geared toward 18-25 year olds, and those looking for internships and their first or second job. We do have some career changers who attend our events as well, but those with more than three or four years of experience may find the advice at events to be basic. However, our blog focuses a lot on personal branding and networking tips that are applicable to any career stage.

What’s the difference between General Membership and Premium Membership?

General Membership is free and gives you access to things like our events and job board. Premium Membership gives you exclusive content, 50% off our events, access to the FindMentorship program, and more for as little as a venti latte a month. See all the perks of Premium Membership here.
