The Campus Interview Program offers
students the opportunity to interact with approximately 200 organizations
each year seeking students to fill permanent full-time positions for
after graduation as well as internship opportunities. While the
organizations who participate are quite selective and competition for
positions quite keen, the process of interviewing can assist you in
better defining your career goals and improve your interview skills. The
procedures for participating in the Campus Interview Program are
described in the following paragraphs. Please be certain to utilize other
services offered by the Career Services Center as you conduct your job
search.
Placement services in the form of the Campus
Interview Program are available to all undergraduate and graduate
students who expect to complete the requirements for a degree or teacher
certification in January/February 2012, May 2012 or August 2012. Log into
Blue Hen Careers to begin
searching the current postings.
Each year approximately 400 recruiters
