Conduct Interviews on Campus

Organizations that can anticipate hiring needs in advance find it convenient to come to campus to conduct multiple initial screening interviews. Generally, employers with internship opportunities recruit sophomores, juniors, and sometimes seniors; organizations with full-time career positions tend to interview seniors and alumni.

Fall Recruiting: Call during the summer months for interview dates that run from the end of September through early November.

Spring Recruiting: Call in December and January to establish visit dates for interviews that take place generally from the beginning of March through the end of April.

The University of St. Thomas has an easy, online system to manage our on-campus interviewing program. Through the TommieCareers website by Symplicity, employers are able to post positions, view applications, communicate selection decisions directly to students, and view interview schedules. See our Instructions and Tips to Streamline On-Campus Interviewing for more information.

If interested in scheduling an on-campus interview date(s), please contact Jennifer Rogers at (651) 962-6762.
