Schedule interviews via the Handshake Employer Help Center’s Interviews section.
 
Interview students in one of our five Professional Experience Labs, located on the third floor of the Greenly Center. Each PEL is equipped with audio/visual capability for in person or virtual interviews. 
 
Interviewing dates are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis and should be conducted from 8:3-AM - 4:30PM. We recommend scheduling at least four weeks in advance to ensure securing a date suitable to your itinerary that has a sufficient number of interview rooms available to meet your needs.

On-Campus Interview Models: 

• Preselect to Alternate: Allows you to collect primary and alternate student applicants and interview registrants via Handshake and assign them after the application period.

Each recruiter is responsible for creating their interview schedule and communicating with their applicants directly. Please email your interview schedule to dkysor@bloomu.edu before the interview date.
