Schedule an Information Session
Schedule your information session through
BruinView™. Career Center staff will make arrangements for space, and assist with your refreshment and equipment needs.
A group information session is typically used to complement a campus interview schedule, although it can be an effective "stand alone" event. Presentations may be targeted to all interested students, or to an invitation-only audience, such as students who have signed up for an interview. Students will view information session details at the BruinView™ web page.
In general, an information session can serve two primary purposes:
Create Awareness
This type of session can be held several weeks prior to your interview date. The event is an effective way to:
- Increase your campus presence and visibility
- Stimulate interest by providing an industry, company and career path overview
- Publicize and promote your campus recruitment plans
- Boost resume submissions and encourage interview signups.
Maximize Interview Schedules
This type of session is most effective when scheduled a night or two before your interviews. You may use the session to:
- Explain details about your recruiting process to students who have signed up for interviews.
- Address general topics such as your corporate culture, benefits packages and other topics that would otherwise take up valuable interview time.
- Talk to students who did not submit a resume in advance, and “pencil in” additional interviews for unfilled slots on your schedule.
- Meet and evaluate students in an informal setting prior to one-on-one interviews.
For your convenience, Career Center staff will make arrangements for space, refreshments and equipment. Specific cancellation guidelines and fees apply to information sessions, depending on the venue. Details will be provided at the time your information session is confirmed.
A variety of venues offer flexible seating and presentation set-up. Information sessions typically take place during the evening hours and last from one to two hours.
