2015 MSOE

On-campus Interview Sign-up Procedure

• Students are selected for interviews based on criteria provided by the employer. • Based on that criteria, the Career Services Department will notify all qualified students of the interview opportunity via the student’s Career Net resume email address (approximately three weeks prior to interview date). • Students are directed to view the job description on the MSOE job site to determine if the position is one they would be interested in. • Students who are notified indicate their interest by following the directions in the emailed notification message. Last date to indicate interest is clearly identified in the notification message. • The Career Services Department submits all names of the interested candidates to the employer. The employer goes on the resume database to view resumes and selects the candidates to be interviewed. • Interview schedules are made from the roster of selected students (approximately one week prior to the interview date). • Students are notified of their selection or non-selection via email (approximately one week prior to the interview date). • If selected to interview, please follow instructions in the email message to confirm or decline your interview. We need an immediate response!

NOTE: • Check email messages daily, including your Junk folder.

• Keep Career Net resume up-to-date (contact info, academic status, availability, etc.). • No shows or late cancellations will result in loss of on-campus interview privileges!

What criteria do employers use? • Degree and major. • Specialties and subjects taken within the major that suggest competency in an area important to the employer. • GPA. • Relevant experience – usually through internships, previous employment or projects you have completed. • Matching your interests with the company’s business, product or service. Interests should be listed in your objectives. Examples: sales and marketing, software design, digital electronics, thermodynamics and heat transfer, and network management. • Well roundedness – strong academically and involved in campus and/or community activities. • Geographic location – willingness to relocate or permanent home city and state.
