On-Campus Interviews
UC hosts employers on campus to interview undergraduate and graduate students from all academic departments for full-time positions. Each employer determines specific qualifications and the application process.
Types of Interview Schedules
- Open schedules are first-come, first-served. Eligible students who meet the employer's requirements submit an online resume and sign-up for a specific time slot.
- Preselect schedules allow all students that meet the employer's requirements to submit an application and be considered for an on-campus interview. After the employer reviews applications, they will "preselect" students who are invited for an interview.
- Other schedules allow employers to fill their own schedules from career fairs or information sessions.
