APPLYING FOR OPPORTUNITIES You can apply for opportunities by submitting your résumé and other requested documents through Connect 2 Careers . The process is simple and driven by timelines determined by the company’s scheduled interview date or the requested application deadline. When applying, read the application instructions completely, and include all necessary documents. Notifications of selection for job postings are managed by the company directly. Signing up for an interview You will be notified if you are selected by an employer for an interview. Log in to the recruiting system, and select an interview time. If you do not want to interview, log in to the system to decline the interview, which will allow alternate candidates to apply. Things You Should Know About Interviews Information sessions and other company events/presentations are considered part of the interview process. You should attend them. If for some reason you are unable to attend, contact the recruiter as soon as possible so he or she is aware of any conflicts. If you have interviews withmore than one company on the same day, we recommend leaving at least one hour between interviews. You never know when an interviewer may be running behind schedule, or your interview could run long. Many companies require students to complete online applications on the company website in addition to applying via Connect 2 Careers. Read and follow the application instructions completely to ensure that you will be fully considered for the opportunities posted. A missed step may result in your not being considered for the position. Update your profile At a minimum, you should update your profile at the beginning of each academic year and more often if your information changes. Employers use profile information to identify candidates of interest. Updating your profile information will improve your chances of connecting with employers for jobs. When updating your profile please take a look at your privacy settings. If you give us permission to send you text messages we can alert you via text when positions of been posted that interest you.
