Schedule an appointment for career counseling in Handshake.

For a list of employers' visits to campus and upcoming job fairs, login to Handshake and click on "Career Events" and/or "On-Campus Interview Schedules."

Please contact Valerie Daciw with any questions.

Signing up for Interviews

Employers choose one of two options for setting up interviews:

1. Open sign up: interview slots are given on a first come first served basis until the schedule is filled. Go to Handshake and submit your resume and sign up for an available time slot.
2. Pre-screen sign up: organizations review candidates ahead of time, and only give you an interview spot if they are interested. Go to Handshake and submit your resume by a given deadline. If you are selected, you will receive an email message instructing you to log back into Handshake and select an available interview time slot.

What to Wear

These are professional interviews, and you should dress accordingly. Masculine options would be a suit, or dress shirt, pants and tie, and Feminine options would be a suit (pants or skirts) or dress blouse, dress pants/skirt. Please visit Cheryl’s Closet if you are in need of professional wear.
