On-Campus Interview Program

During the fall and spring semesters, organizations send representatives to the CSB and SJU campuses to conduct on-campus interviews for full-time as well as internship opportunities.  Some organizations may also request that we collect resumes for available internship or employment opportunities with the potential of scheduling a date to interview on campus.  Organizations from a wide variety of occupations and seeking a wide variety of majors will participate in this program.  These are actual internship and employment interviews and should not be used as practice sessions. 

All on-campus interveiws for internships or employment require registration through E-link:

• Register/view E-link schedules.

Interview Locations:

• Interviews scheduled at CSB are held in the upper level of the Academic Services Building (CSB Career Resource Center).
• SJU interviews are held in Mary Hall Ground (025).

Policies and Procedures

You are required to enter a profile on E-link and upload a primary resume. 

It is your responsibility to view the list of participating organizations and submit application materials such as resume and cover letter for each organization of interest to you.  You submit your application materials to each employer of interest via the E-link system.

The On-Campus Interview Process
