Recruiter Interviews and Information Sessions

The employers listed below have confirmed campus visits this year. They offer great beginning career opportunities and/or internships. We encourage students to keep an open mind and consider meeting with any or all of the organizations that come to campus. They are looking for capable and enthusiastic college talent. Often, having a specific college major is not a factor. Interviews are conducted in the Career Services Office, Schwitzer Student Center, Room 206.

In order to participate in campus interviews or group networking sessions, you need to register online with Career Services by going to careers.uindy.edu and clicking on Current Student and then Jobs/Internships & JobHoundConnect. Complete or update your JHC profile and upload your up-to-date resume. Please act soon. Some employers prescreen resumes before selecting the candidates they wish to speak with. Whether you come for an individual interview or attend a small group recruitment presentation, you should always dress professionally if you wish to be taken as a serious applicant. For details about campus recruiting and scheduling interviews, go to JobHoundConnect and Campus Interview Schedules, or contact Career Services (788-3296 or ocs@uindy.edu).

In preparation for these interviews and networking sessions, visit the company web sites by clicking the links below. Get a sense of the participating organizations and the industries in which they operate. Look at job titles, closely examine job responsibilities, and try to determine how a given work setting might work for you. Remember all you have learned about interviewing effectively. Some beginning positions are necessary stepping stones to other excellent opportunities. Above all, keep an open mind or you may be sorry later! And... be sure to show up for your appointment or the presentation. Last minute cancellations are totally unacceptable.
Everyone suffers!
