Starting with Asking

First and foremost, we look for college graduates with a strong interest in book publishing. Individuals must be able to take initiative, be team players and have excellent verbal and written communication skills. Prior internships or other work experiences, especially in book publishing, are a plus. We also look for individuals who have distinguished themselves with a strong academic record and involvement in extracurricular activities.

Random House does on-campus and consortium recruiting, so it's advantageous if you find an opportunity to meet with us at a scheduled campus event. Your school's Career Services/Placement Office can tell you if a Random House campus recruiter is scheduled to visit your campus or consortium. However, if we cannot meet personally you can always apply directly to Random House through our careers site.

Due to the volume of resumes we receive, we encourage you to apply online. Once you have completed the online application, you will receive an acknowledgement of receipt.

All of our positions are for immediate hire. The best time to start perusing the website is in April and then start applying a few weeks before you are available to start working.
