On Campus Interviews
On-campus interviews are an excellent way to meet
qualified candidates face-to-face. Career Services staff can help you
select a convenient interview date for you to visit campus. You select
all interview candidates in advance from resumes submitted electronically
by the students. Career Services staff manages scheduling and reserves
interview space in our interview facility. To Schedule an on-campus interview,
contact the MBA Career Services Office.
Videoconference Interviews
UT Career Services is equipped with a personal
videoconferencing unit to allow video communication between candidates
and employers. The Intel ProShare System is PC based and very simple to
use. An employer that does not own this type of equipment may use a local
videoconferencing company at very reasonable rates. This type of communication
is effective for interviews or meeting with faculty and other key campus
contacts.

Telephone Interviews
Telephone interviews allow for a tremendous amount
of flexibility in interviewing. UT students have interviewed via telephone
in the UT Career Services Office, the MBA Office and, of course, at their
homes. A staff member can arrange telephone interviews in the same manner
as on-campus recruiting and videoconferencing. Interviewers need only
call the designated phone number at the appropriate time.
Electronic Resume
Collection
Resume Collection gives employers the opportunity
to publicize internship or permanent openings and review resumes of interested
students online. It is, in effect, campus recruiting without the campus
visit. With Resume collection, an opening is posted on the UT Career Services
web site where selected students may view it and submit their resume for
review. There is, however, no promise of an on-campus interview date.
Resume Collection permits employers to see the number
and caliber of interested students, after which a decision to follow up
with some of these students is made. Resume Collection is one of the most
effective means of gauging both the caliber and level of interest among
candidates.

Web Resume Book
After registering with our office, employers can
download targeted resume books including current MBA students or alumni.
Targeted resume books help you to easily identify the MBA candidates interested
in your specific industry or functional area. Once you have downloaded
the resumes you can directly contact future candidates to inform them
of your openings. After viewing resumes, should you wish to schedule and
on-campus recruiting trip, please contact MBA Career Services. Using targeted
Web Resume Books employers gain immediate access to student resumes compared
to Resume Collection, but it does not allow students to preview the position
and express their interest in the company. Targeted
Web Resume Books.
Post a Job at the UT Career
Services Site
Employers can post a job on the UT Career Services
Online Recruiting Software for MBA students to view. This is a quick and
efficient way to notify MBA candidates of full-time and internship position
openings within your company. To post a job, go to the Career Services
website at http://career.utk.edu,
click on “Employer,” click on “Job Postings,”
enter the employer login and submit the form online.
Hiring an MBA Intern
Based on input from MBA interns and their employers,
the UT MBA Internship Program benefits everyone. Students gain valuable
work experience and employers gain bright, enthusiastic employees who
make a tremendous contribution in a relatively short period of time.
Summer internships range from 8 - 12 weeks in duration,
beginning mid-May and ending in mid-August. Compensation is comparable
to the market rate for a similar permanent employee and typically includes
reimbursement of relocation expenses. For the latest compensation information,
see the current Placement
Report.
You may have an internship program already established
at your company where an MBA candidate may contribute. If not, you will
find that MBA students are self-starters and are able to contribute significantly
to your company’s bottom line—even when there is not an established
internship program. In fact, think of the summer as a time to bring in
talented, energetic individuals to complete projects for which you simply
do not ordinarily have time. Typical projects include marketing, finance,
operations, or logistics research that may help determine where you can
either save money or add value to your customers.
