On-Campus Interviewing
Policy Details

Issuing Department: Career Services  
Subject: On-Campus Interviewing Latest Revision Date: February 01, 1998

    POLICY

    It is considered unethical for students to interview with a recruiter on campus 
    "just for practice".  Doing so takes advantage of recruiters and limits
    interviewing opportunities for other students who may be sincerely interested in
    the organization's opportunities.  Students are encouraged to make appointments 
    to do mock interviews with a counselor in order to gain interviewing experience.
    
    The sign up sheets for interview schedules will be available to students two 
    weeks before the scheduled interview day.  Students may not sign up for an 
    interview before that time.  Students may sign up for interviews on a first- 
    come, first-served basis.
    
    Preference for on-campus interviews is given to students who will be graduating 
    or completing their post-baccalaureate work during current academic year (Fall 
    term through Summer term).  Alumni may interview on a space-available basis. If 
    such space is available alumni can sign-up for interviews on a first-come, 
    first-serve basis.
    
    If there are more students desiring to be interviewed than there are interview 
    times available, a waiting list will be maintained.  Names of alumni desiring an 
    interview will also be placed on the waiting list.  If interview spaces become 
    available (due to cancellations or additions to the interview schedule), people 
    on the waiting list will be called, in order, the day before the interviews.
    
    If students/alumni cannot make a scheduled interview, they should notify the 
    Office of Career Services at least 24 hours before the interview so that another
    student can have the opportunity to interview.  A person who fails to cancel an 
    interview (a "no-show") will be asked to send Career Services and the recruiting
    organization a letter of apology.  Anyone failing to write such a letter is 
    prohibited from interviewing on-campus for the remainder of the academic year.
    
    Education students who wish to interview must provide Career Services with a 
    placement file by the day before the scheduled interview.  Even if letters of 
    recommendation are not completed, students should still turn in a typed Personal
    Information Form and Summary of Academic Credits.  A copy of each will be 
    provided to the interviewer.
    
    Liberal Arts students must submit a resume or a typed Personal Information Form 
    by the day before the schedule interview at the latest.  A copy will be provided
    to the interviewer.
