Career Services will be offering the On-Campus Interview (OCI) Program as follows:

• Fall 2023 - Virtual, Room Only, Pre-select & Open sign-up Interviews
• Winter 2024 - under review
• Spring 2024 - under review

For interview start/end dates, please refer to the recruitment calendar. 
 

Interview Schedule Types available to employers:

• Virtual Interviews - Employers are reserving a “virtual” space and will connect with students from Handshake through an external link to their company website. For more details, read Handshake articles about Hosting Virtual Interviews and Conducting Virtual Interviews. 
• Room Only -  This option is to reserve a room and build your own interview schedule independent of Handshake.  This option will give you the most flexibility as you will not be using Handshake for signing up students for interviews. This is a great option if you are planning to meet students at an on-campus event and want to then invite those you prefer to an interview in the days following the event. 
• Pre-selects to Alternates - If you are interested in managing your applicants and interview schedule in Handshake please use this option. Preselect to Alternate gives you the option to select students who meet your screening requirements and gives students the option to sign up for available interview slots via Handshake. Primary and alternate student choices are selected after the application period. Primaries are allowed to sign up before the alternates.
