SpartaRecruiting On-Campus Interview Room Reservations

Employers who wish to conduct on-campus interviews with our students may reserve interview space in our office on select days throughout the year at no cost.  Our on-campus interviews are room reservation only; employers are responsible for scheduling interviews directly with our students. However, if the on-campus interview schedule is provided at least 24 hours in advance, Career Center staff members will assist with reaching out to students to re-confirm their scheduled interview date and time.

 

On-Campus Interview Dates, Fall 2014

On Campus interviews will be held on select dates February 16-April 30. If you have a date that does not fall within this schedule, please contact the Career Center, and we will do our best to accommodate you as staffing and space allows.  You may reserve a room by contacting Donna Rizando at 408-924-6027 or donnamae.rizando@sjsu.edu.

Typical Interview Day

Interviews take place in the Career Services Office, Administration 154. A typical interview day begins by checking in at the front desk with our Recruiting Coordinator, Donna Rizando, beginning at 8:00 a.m. (please do not arrive prior to 8:00 a.m.).  You will then be escorted to your interview room.  Interviews will not be scheduled after 4:00 p.m. since the building will close at 4:30 p.m. 

Students checking in will be escorted to the interview waiting area. You may then call them in as you are ready to meet with them.
