Interviews
Many companies interview Co-op students through on campus interviews in 300 Clark Hall. Interviews are scheduled on a pre-screen basis through the Co-op office.
Dates of interviews for those companies interviewing on campus, are listed on the Interview Schedule in addition to the job listings under each company.
Interviews are an essential element of the Co-op process - face-to-face meetings that could lead you to a great opportunity!
Before the big day arrives, learn everything you can about the companies youve decided to meet with! Company websites and internet searches of guides and references are a good place to begin. Talk with your Co-op Coordinator for additional suggestions.
- Please make every effort to keep the interviews youve schedule with potential employers. Any change of interview appointments requires a minimum 24-hour advance notice to the Co-op office. (Failure to follow this policy will result in a mandatory meeting with your Co-op coordinator.)
However, if you find that its necessary to cancel your interview, youll need to do a couple of things:
- First, notify the Co-op office immediately.
- Then, write a letter of apology to the interviewer - and get it approved by your coordinator within one week of the missed interview.
This is an important step - you wont be allowed to interview with any company until the steps above are completed. Unfortunately, if you miss a second interview, youll be asked to leave the Co-op program. Employers taking part in the Co-op program are looking for reliable, dependable students to join them, so please remember that whether its in the classroom or in an interview setting, you are representing the Co-op program and the University as well as yourself.
