On Campus Interviewing (OCI)

On-Campus Interviewing (OCI) is an effective vehicle employers can use to interview and hire IIT students and alumni seeking full-time, co-op or internship positions. Reservations must be made by filling out an On-Campus Interviewing Request Form. The earlier we receive your request the easier it will be for us to accommodate your needs. The following guidelines will detail OCI further. We encourage you to print out this information for your files.

PROCEDURES

1. Fill out an On-Campus Interviewing Request Form and submit it at least 4-6 weeks prior to your visit.
2. After the On-Campus Interviewing Request Form is submitted, you will be contacted with the confirmation of your date(s) and/or help you to reschedule if the date you requested is filled.
3. Students will apply for interviewing consideration until the application deadline date; which is generally 2 weeks prior to your visit.
4. You may access the resumes and make your selections after the application deadline date by logging into your IIT NACElink account. If you do not wish to make your decisions by using NACElink, you may forward your candidate selection list to lindsey@iit.edu.

POLICIES

Our office is housed in the Galvin Library which opens at 8:30 am. Interviews may begin at 9:00 am and must end by 4:45 pm. If your company prefers to use its own schedule, please check the appropriate box on the registration form.

· Companies must pre-select the candidates it chooses to interview at least one week in advance.

· Academic transcripts are not provided by our office. They must be requested by the student from the university. If you require transcripts at the time of the interview, please indicate that on your form and the students will be notified.

COMPANY INFORMATION SESSIONS

During a Company Information Session corporate representatives meet with students and alumni interested in their company. These are informal events where employers can detail their requirements and students ask general questions. If you wish to provide an information session, we suggest the event take place approximately 2 weeks prior to your interviewing date.

OPEN & CLOSED INFORMATION

Spotlites are open to all students unless the employer specifies it to be closed. Closed Spotlites are open only to persons previously selected for interviews. Since Spotlites are not openly advertised, it is the responsibility of the employer to invite their candidates. Employers may make attending the Spotlite a pre-requisite to interview.

The Career Management Center is not responsible for student attendance of Company Information Sessions. We will announce Company Information Sessions on our web page and post flyers on-campus, if you provide them.

Company Information Sessions can be held in, Hermann Hall or the McCormick Tribune Campus Center (MTCC) or the Career Management Center.
