Employers are encouraged to refrain from scheduling first-round interviews at the BCC on Fridays to avoid late interview cancellations due to second interviews. Please consult with an Employer Relations Team Member to customize a timeline that will maximize your recruiting experience on campus.

Employers are encouraged to conduct second round interviews on Fridays. Fridays are generally lighter class days for many students and the adjacent weekend helps minimize missed class time.

Connect with Student Organizations

For the greatest exposure on campus, it is important to use a variety of approaches in connecting with students. Student organizations can provide an array of opportunities for employers to become involved with their membership.

Publicize Your Event or Visit

BuckyNet allows you to email students individually or collectively through a batch feature to communicate additional details such as position information, information session invitations, items required at interview, etc.

You may also use Resume Books found within BuckyNet to identify students whom you would like to encourage to apply. Communication from a prospective employer is a powerful motivator for many students, and tends to increase your pool of interested candidates.
