On Campus Interviews

During the fall and spring semesters, employers visit campus to interview students for job, internship, and co-op positions. Registered students utilize the KU web based Career Connections system to request and schedule interviews. There is a small one-time registration fee.

When do On Campus Interviews start?

Students planning to participate in on campus interviews are strongly encouraged to register and start requesting interviews by the middle of September. Some companies only visit campus in the fall; they start interviewing in late September and have already made job and internship offers to students by October.

How does the On Campus Interviewing Process work?

  • Employers contact KU to schedule an on campus interview date.
  • Employers also provide job descriptions for the job, internship, or co-op positions they plan to interview for.
  • Students register with the Engineering Career Center; then load their resume(s) and profile information into the Career Connections system.
  • Students search the Career Connections system for job descriptions or employers of interest
  • Students choose positions that align with their qualifications as well as interests and apply before the deadline date (deadline dates are usually two weeks prior to the interview date).
  • The students' resumes are forwarded to the employers for review, who then select which students they would like to interview.
  • Students log into the Career Connections system on a regular basis to check the status of their interview requests.
  • Students who are invited to interview can view the available interview time slots through the Career Connections system and sign up for a convenient interview time.
  • Students, who are chosen as alternates or not initially invited to interview, may want to contact the Engineering Career Center for other possible ways to connect with that employer.
