On-Campus Recruiting
The University Career Center provides your organization with professional on-campus recruiting opportunities. You may list career opportunities, internships and part-time jobs through our online recruiting system, KU Career Connections. Qualified employers will receive access to our student resume database for web resume viewing. We also will assist you with resume referrals based on your criteria.
We support several online interview schedule types: pre-select schedules, open schedules, and career opportunity posting referred to as a resume drop. We provide professional interview rooms for your on-campus interviews in our facility. In order to accommodate your recruiting dates, please contact our office at least two months prior to your desired date. However, we will assist you with securing interview space for your immediate recruiting needs on a space available basis. Please call our recruiting staff to schedule your on-campus interview dates.
Mock Interviews
Our office conducts mock interview opportunities for our students each semester. Employers may participate for a full day or half day of interviews. Each interview period is thirty minutes; fifteen to twenty minutes of interviewing and ten to fifteen minutes of employer critique. An employer-conducted mock interview is a valuable career tool for our students and an opportunity for employers to increase their visibility on our campus.
