On Campus Recruiting

What is On Campus Recruiting?
OCR is a Career Advising & Planning Services sponsored program where employers visit the campus to interview graduating students for full-time, post-graduation employment.Interviews take place in the Recruiting Center on the third floor of the CAPS Office.

Who may participate?
To participate you must be a senior or graduate student who is graduating in the current academic year.

What kinds of companies interview?
Organizations with large numbers of entry level positions and organizations with training programs.

Examples: accounting firms, retail organizations, engineering firms, restaurants, insurance companies, and banks.

What kind of companies do not interview?
Some companies tend to hire for one position at a time as needs arise throughout the year.

Examples: advertising firms, public relations firms, non-profit agencies, international organizations, hospitals, educational institutions

Other Strategies
We recommend that you meet with a counselor to discuss strategies beyond OCR. Call CAPS for an appointment at 499-4176.
