What Types of Interviews Are Available?

On campus interviews can be adjusted to meet your needs. There are three main ways employers like to use the service; however, we will be happy to work with you to customize the process to your needs.

Pre-Select Interviews:

The interview schedule and corresponding job description are posted on CareerSpace. After the student resume submission deadline, employers select the candidates they wish to interview. These pre-selected candidates proceed to sign up for an interview timeslot. This is a good option for employers expecting a high level of interest or who have specific eligibility requirements.

Open Interviews:

The interview schedule and corresponding job description are posted on CareerSpace. Students may sign up for an interview timeslot, with or without a resume, first come, first serve. This option is often used for general screening interviews or informational interviews.

Room Only:

The career center provides an interview room only. The employer is responsible for collecting resumes and scheduling the candidates. Employers often use this option after career fairs and information sessions.
