On Campus Interviews
On-campus interviews are an excellent (and convenient)
way to meet and evaluate qualified candidates face-to-face. The Career
Services staff
can help you select an appropriate interview date for you to visit
our campus. You select all interview candidates in advance from resume
books and applications submitted electronically by students. Career
Services staff manages the actual scheduling of students and will reserve
private suites for your recruiting team in our interview facilities
located in Dunford Hall. To Schedule an on-campus interview, contact
the MBA
Career Services Office
Typical Interview Schedules
Generally, interview schedules begin at 8:30 AM and wrap up by 4:45 PM.
And although you have the option to customize your interview day schedule
there are three standard formats most employers use for organizing
interviews with students on-campus. 30, 60, and 90 minute interview schedules.
30 Minute Interviews – If you choose to hold 30 minute interviews,
you will be able to maximize your visit to campus by providing you with
the opportunity to meet as many as 13 students in one day, while still
leaving time for 2 short breaks and a 75 minute lunch. This format will
give you the most interview slots, but will not give you as much time
with each student. Here is a sample interview day schedule if you choose
30
minute interviews.
45 Minute Interviews – A standard 45 minute interview schedule
will give you 9 interview slots, 1 break, and a 75 minute lunch. This
format is generally preferred by MBA employers as it provides more time
to discuss in greater detail the experience and skills of the applicant.
This format is also often used with second round interviews that take
place on-campus. Here is a sample interview day schedule for 45
minute interviews.
60 Minute Interviews – Holding 60 minute interviews will provide
you with the opportunity to dig much deeper into the applicants’ experiences
than the shorter interviews, but you will be limited to only 7 interview
slots and a 75 minute lunch break. Here is a sample interview day schedule
if you choose 60
minute interviews.
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.
