Interviewing Procedures for Students and Alumni

All registered students and alumni from the Northwest Consortium Schools are eligible to participate in the Northwest Public Service Career Fairs Interviewing Session. Be sure to complete your on-line registration form and pay your $15 registration fee (or $25 if attending both Career Fairs), PRIOR to submitting application materials for any of the participating employers. You must be on the registration list for your name to be released for any scheduled interviews.

Many of the employers advertise positions for pre-selection. Please STAPLE your application materials (cover letter and resume ONLY) You must submit application materials for each employer you are interested in being considered for to your Career Services Office by the deadline date in January. Check with your Career Services Office for exact date and time applications are due. We will then forward the application materials to each employer.

Once we have received the interview lists from these employers, we will prepare a final interview schedule for the selected applicants. Additionally, each school will receive final interview schedules for selected applicants (this will be approximately Monday, January 30th).

PRE-SELECTED INTERVIEW SCHEDULES: If selected for interview(s), it is the student's or graduate's responsibility to check in and confirm your interview time at the designated "Interviewing" location. All applicants should be ready five (5) minutes prior to your scheduled interview; please come to the interview area and let us know that you are ready for your interview. Note: If you are leaving the area until your interview time, please be sure to let somebody know where you may be located. There are times when we may move up your interview time, due to a "no show."

All applicants selected for an interview are expected to show for their scheduled interview time unless prior arrangements have been made. If you are unable to attend your scheduled interview time, please contact your Career Services Office immediately. Any cancellations or changes must be done no later than three days prior to the Career Fair -- NO EXCEPTIONS.

If you have any questions regarding the interviewing process, please contact your Career Services Office immediately.
