Speak to a class or student organization

On-campus interviews

On-campus interviews allow you as an employer to not only recruit on campus, but also interview students for career and internship opportunities. 

We especially recommend setting up on-campus interviews if you're already on campus for a career fair or informational table.

If you'd like to conduct an on-campus interview:

  1. Log in to your Handshake account.
  2. Select "Request an Interview".
  3. Complete the requested information:
    • Preferred dates
    • Type of interview you would like to conduct
      • preselect interviews
      • open interviews
      • rooms only
    • Number of rooms your company would like to use
    • Duration of your available interview time slots

After receiving departmental approval for your on-campus interview request, you will receive a confirmation email from the Career Center with additional information to help plan your trip to Nacogdoches and the ÌÇÐÄvlog´«Ã½ campus.

Types of interviews defined

Preselect interviews: Allow an employer to screen interested applicants that have submitted their résumé on Handshake. Employers may then select those screened applicants for an interview.

Open interviews: Allow students to directly sign up for an interview time on the interview schedule (without first being screened).

Rooms only: For employers who want to generate their own schedule and simply want to use our interview suite; this option is ideal if the interview follows a career expo or information session. Students cannot directly sign up for an interview via Handshake. Custom interview schedules can be created on Handshake!

Career fairs

Register early - space is limited!

Career fairs have limited space for prospective employers — register early to secure your spot! Registration will close if capacity or the deadline is reached, whichever occurs first.
