HOW DO I SCHEDULE STUDENT INTERVIEWS AND/OR AN INFORMATION SESSION?

Currently, campus interviews and in-person information sessions can be scheduled through the Career Center in addition to virtual interviewing scheduling assistance and virtual information sessions.  Requests can be made through DiggerNet, or to email recruiting team CLICK HERE.

Student Interviews:

  • Interviews for the week of Career Fair, “Next Day” interviews: We are offering services in-person. If you are interested in this option, you will be asked if you would like to reserve a table for interviewing on days following the in-person Career Fair on the Career Fair registration. There is a cost for this service – see Career Day FAQ for details.
  • Next Day Interviews (in-person)-Employers will still be responsible for scheduling interview times with students between the hours of 8am-5pm (MST). We think this will be a great option!
