The Advisement and Career Services Center offers the opportunity to interview for full-time positions by encouraging companies to come to the university to interview. The office will FAX resumes to companies, at the student’s request, and keep students informed on the progress of interviewing possibilities. When interview schedules are available, students are encouraged to sign up for interviews through the office, or through Jobdirect.com. These interviews are scheduled on a first-come basis and the student must meet the criteria set by each company in which they are interested. Students must also meet the criteria set by the Advisement and Career Services Center. The criteria are as follows:

1. Students must register with the Center (Students must complete a Placement Packet).
2. Students must have completed three of the required Center Workshops.

All full-time job listings are posted on the job boards outside the Center. These listings are available to all students as well as alumni. If a company is not interviewing at the university, the Advisement and Career Services Center will note on the job listings how to submit resumes to the company. The office also provides company literature for students to review prior to interviewing, workshops and seminars to aide in career development, as well as sponsoring several career fairs during the year.
