Organizations that can anticipate hiring needs in advance find it convenient to come to campus to conduct initial screening interviews. Generally, organizations with internship opportunities recruit sophomores and juniors, and employers with full-time career positions interview senior students.
If interested in scheduling an on-campus interview date(s), please contact Kirsten Cahoon at 507-786-3843. We recommend that you call during the following times before each recruiting season:
Fall Recruiting: Please call during the summer months (early August is best) for interview dates that run from early October through mid-November.
Spring Recruiting: Please call in December or January to set interview dates for interviews that run from the end of February through April.
Employers are able to post positions, view applications, communicate selection decisions directly to students, and view interview schedules through our job and internship database, Handshake. Many employers also host hour-long information sessions on campus in advance of their on-campus recruiting date to provide students with personalized information about their opportunities. Please speak with Kirsten about this option when scheduling your on-campus interview date.
If you are unable to come to campus for interviews, we can also assist you with a formal “resume collection” to heighten the visibility of your posting.
