Recruiting Timeline
- EARLY! Recruiting occurs about a year out for internships and jobs. The recruiting season begins in late spring semester of your sophomore year (internships) or junior year (full-time), continuing into the summer months. Both internship and full-time applications for the following summer generally open in late May to late June; interviews are predominantly done in July and August.)
- The key to success is early engagement. Meet with Bryan or Kirsten in the Piper Center to develop a plan. Consulting employers look for early engagement by attending info session, events, “early interest” resume drops, and by signing-up for lists. Interview preparation should generally begin a few months prior to the summer application and interviewing period.
