What is the "On-Campus Interviewing" Program?

    On-Campus Interviews of graduating seniors and alumni for career job opportunities are conducted during the fall and spring semesters in the Career Services Center. We have a strong campus interviewing program with an increasing number of employers visiting the campus each year.  To participate in this service you must first register with Career Services and then you may apply for interviews.  To do so you create an account and upload a resume in Career Connections.

Where can I access interviews and company information?

    All on-campus interviews, and links to company information, are posted in Career Connections.  Once you have logged into Smoke Signals, click on the  "Interviews and Events" icon.

How do I participate?

    To be considered, and hopefully selected, (after you've registered and uploaded your resume) you view the interview schedules and submit a resume online.  NOTE: Submitting a resume for consideration obligates you to an interview if selected, but does not guarantee the employer will select you for an interview.

What must I do next?

    If you are selected by a recruiter for an interview, you will receive an email with the good news.  You them must log into Smoke Signals and select an interview time from the available slots on the schedule.  Note:  Be sure to record your commitments on your calendar and begin preparing for the interview by researching the organization and practicing your interview responses.

What must I do on the day of an interview -

    Be prompt - arrive at least ten minutes before your interview.   Dress professionally in business attire, meaning you must wear a business suit (not a dress or slacks and sport coat).  Don't ruin your chances by under-dressing.  Click here to see appropriate interview attire.   Know why you are interviewing! (Why do you want to work for this organization?)   Know the interviewer's name and title; be able to say the name correctly when you meet him or her.

What I must do after my interview -

     Return to the CS front desk and fill out an Interview Evaluation Form - our staff will provide one.  Check our job bulletin board for additional opportunities. NOTE: some recruiters give short notice of their recruiting dates, therefore check often.  Acquire the interviewer's address and write a follow-up thank you letter within 24 hours.

What if I miss an interview?

    A missed interview is one in which a registrant signs up but does not keep the appointment. This action is considered irresponsible and jeopardizes ASU's efforts to maintain good employer relations. Registrants missing an interview will not be allowed additional interviews.  Exceptions are made only by the Director of Career Services for legitimate emergencies. A missed interview, FOR ANY REASON, requires a letter of apology and explanation. This letter is to be addressed to the interviewer and mailed within a week of the missed date. A copy MUST be provided to CS. Names and addresses of interviewers may be obtained from the office.

What about follow-up interviews (or Second Interviews)?

    When you receive notice of a second interview, contact CS immediately. We need to know this information, plus we have tips and handouts providing advice.  After each second interview advise CS of the results and write a follow-up letter to each person who interviewed you.

What do I do when I get hired?

    Congratulations!!!!!!!  Notify the Career Services Center immediately.  Stop interviewing.  It is unethical to continue interviewing after you have accepted a job.

    Provide CS with the following information:

    1. Employer/Company name
    2. Location of employer
    3. Title of your job
    4. How you learned about the job (through CS or on your own)
    5. Your salary (kept confidential & used for statistical purposes only)
