Other Information

Tentative Career Fair Schedule

Employers will have two opportunities to meet with students. The first is through scheduled interviews that are set up through our online system. The second is through informational, non-interviewing sessions throughout the day at your table. All employers must participate in our official “ Table Talk “ time period set up on Friday afternoon from 2:30 -4 p.m. Table Talk is a specified period of time that we encourage students to visit employers that are of interest to them.

Viewing applications and résumés

Our system allows you the possibility of viewing résumés, picking candidates and scheduling interviews through one system. You will be able to view résumés and schedule interviews (on a rolling basis) between the dates of August 30th - October 1st. However, we strongly suggest that you begin accepting and granting interviews after Sept. 15 in order to give returning students an opportunity to apply for available positions.

Detailed instructions on how to view applications and résumés and schedule interviews will be available in late June
