Campus Interview
On-campus interviews coordinated by the Career Services Center (CaSC), are limited to current students who are registered with the Center and who will graduate on or before August 2000.
All sign-ups for on-campus interviews usually begin one week before the recruiting date. Sign-up must be done in person in the Career Services Center. Typically, interview schedules are limited to 13 interview appointments per day; each lasts about 30 minutes. Most interviewers come to campus for only one day. Seniors sign up for appointments on a first-come, first served basis.
Pre-selecting may be indicated by employers several weeks in advance of the scheduled visit to campus. Resumes of interested, qualifying students will be forwarded to the employer for previewing. Employers will, in turn, notify the CaSC which students are invited to participate in the on-campus interviews just prior to the date of the on-campus interviews. Sign-ups for specific interviewing appointments will then occur. Students not invited will be notified by the CaSC staff.
Employers may hold "Informational Meetings" in advance of the actual interviews. These normally occur on the evening before the scheduled interviews and are generally scheduled in McIntosh Center. These meetings, while not mandatory, are strongly recommended. The purpose of these meetings is to provide more information about the company and/or the positions available. This keeps the interviewer from wasting valuable interview time giving students an overview of the company. This is usually your only opportunity to learn more about the company prior to the interviews. Interviewers want to spend interview time determining if your skills and interests are a good fit for their organization. It is suggested that students wear dressy school/nice casual clothes for such meetings - no jeans and tee shirts. Remember; this is an employer's first introduction to you, and experience counts.
Employers expect students to prepare for interviews by researching employers in advance of the on-campus interviews. Most employers provide literature to the CaSC for this expressed purpose.
To schedule an interview, you should follow the procedures outlined below.
· Locate in the CaSC the sign-up sheet of the organization in which you are interested. · Check the sheet to be sure you meet the qualifications indicated by the employer. · Select an open time slot that does not conflict with classes or labs. · PRINT your name, major, graduation date, and telephone number in the appropriate spaces on the sign-up sheet. · Fill out an Interview Reminder if you wish to keep track of your appointment. · Pick up a copy of the literature relating to the organization with which you have scheduled an appointment; the literature should be with the sign-up sheet. Additional information may be in the resource library. If organizational literature is not available yet, check with the Career Services Center later in the week. · Be sure that you have sufficient copies of your resume on file in the Career Services Center. Students must be registered and have hard copies of resumes on file in order to be permitted to interview. · Before leaving, check the master recruiting calendar for other recruiters in whom you may have an interest. The master recruiting calendar is located above the sign-up counter on the wall.
If the white Interview Sign-up sheet is full, sign your name on the blue Overflow Sign-up sheet. Names from the overflow sheet will be used to fill in for any cancellations that might occur on the interview schedule or to make a new schedule if the organization elects to bring another recruiter. Regardless of whether you get an interview or not, if your name is on the overflow sheet, your resume will be given to the recruiter.
Interviews are typically held in the Career Services Center in the interviewers' suite, third floor. Students should come in about 10-15 minutes before their interview and wait in the third floor student waiting room. Interviewers will come for you when they are ready. If available, appropriate literature will be available for your perusal in the waiting room as well as the Career Services Center resource library.
PLEASE NOTE: You are expected to be prompt for all recruiter appointments. A failure to notify the Career Services Center of cancellations (with less than twenty-four hours' notice) may result in the loss of your on-campus interviewing privileges.
