 Employer “Room” Set-up

  • Employers will set up virtual interview rooms starting August 8, 2020.  They will set up new rooms as interview schedules fill up and as new companies sign up.  Unlike an in-person career fair, students will have to visit the virtual career fair (directions below) and sign up for an interview slot.  Interview rooms will be identified by employer, position, and student profile (ie MBA student).  On the day of the fair, students will arrive 5 – 10 minutes before their appointed interview time.  Recruiters will open the virtual room to allow the student to interview.
