Schedule Set-up Instructions

• There are two types of schedule:
• Preselect – Students have at least 2 weeks to submit resumes.  Employers then have 2 days to prescreen the submitted resumes to select which students they want to interview.  The selected students then sign up on the schedule.  The advantage to a preselect schedule is the ability to preview the candidates and select only the ones most qualified.  The disadvantage is the candidate pool may be small and the schedule light.
• Open – Students who meet the employer’s basic requirements (major, graduation date, etc.) have a minimum of 2 weeks to sign up directly on a schedule.  The advantage to an open schedule is the potential for more candidates to interview.  The disadvantage is the commitment to interview candidates that may not be as qualified as the employer might prefer.

• If a preselect-type schedule is desired, a minimum of 4 weeks' notice is necessary to allow time for the announcement of your visit, collection of student materials, and interview sign-ups.

• If less than 4 weeks' notice is given, it is necessary to create an open-type schedule.

In the event that your schedule is not full at one week prior to the interview date, we recommend it be opened to allow students who meet your minimum requirements to sign up.  Please let us know if you would like your schedule opened at that point.
