Frequently Asked Questions: On-Campus Interviewing

How does OCI work?

The first step is to schedule an interviewing date. Once that has been established, your organization can prescreen resumes and invite the most qualified candidates to interview. Students who accept your invitation will set up a time on your scheduled interview date. The day of your interviews, we will host your organization in our private interviewing rooms.

How do I select students to interview?

You will receive automatic emails from the system prompting you through the selection process. Please make sure our email messages are not sent to your junk mail folder. Since the OCI program is deadline-driven, it is also imperative that you regularly check on upcoming deadlines in PatriotJobWeb.

During the time students are submitting resumes, you be able to view the submissions and begin narrowing down applicants. This prescreening of applicant resumes will be available before the official employer selection time period begins, however, you must still wait until the preselect time period begins before making official interview selections.

May I ask for a student's transcript?

Yes, you may request this information if it will aid in your candidate selection. Students are required to bring a current copy of their unofficial transcript to all on-campus interviews.

Where will the interviews be held? Where do I park?

All interviews are conducted in the University Career Services office in Student Union I, Room 348. Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your first interview.

Parking is available in the Mason Pond parking deck. For a map of campus and directions, visit Mason's Visitor Center. University Career Services opens at 8:30 a.m. and closes at 5 p.m.

Remember to bring plenty of business cards!
