On-Campus Interviews

center for community with flowers


On-Campus Interviews (OCIs) are your opportunity to interview with employers from all industries during the fall and spring semesters for full-time, part-time or internship positions.

Employers will either post OCIs in Handshake, or they will work directly with Career Services to schedule a day for interviews. OCIs only occur when an employer advertises that they will be interviewing candidates for an open position. They will either post the interview opportunity on Handshake, talk about the opportunity and schedule interview slots during a career fair, or during a tabling or information session. An employer's recruiting schedule may depend on which major/industry you are studying/interested in. However, the fall semester is typically the busiest recruiting season during the school year. If you search for on campus interviews in Handshake, and none are populated, this means that no employers are scheduling on campus interviews.

Please note that OCIs are not an on-going, weekly occurrence in our office. You can view any upcoming OCIs in .
