Best Practices Guide

---

The Office of Career Services at Fordham University has developed a Best Practices Guide for On-Campus Recruiting in order to make your experience with us a more productive and positive one! This Best Practices Guide will help us to better serve your recruiting needs, as well as the needs of Fordham University students and alumni. We hope that this information below is useful to you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Rose Hill or Lincoln Center Campus.

Changes in Scheduling
If there is to be any changes in the schedule after a schedule has been set up for on-campus recruiting, we ask that you give Career Services at least two days notice before your interviewing event. Please keep in mind that students re-arrange their class schedules and exams in order to attend interviews, and last minute changes can result in student cancellations and a disruption to academic studies.

Consolidation of Schedules
If you need to consolidate schedule due to time constraint, please contact Career Services within two days of your interviewing date. This will assist Career Services in make changes so that students are given ample time to re-arrange their schedules.

Recruiters Interviewing On-Campus
If the company representative making the reservation differs from the representative who will do the actual interviewing, please be sure to share reservation and scheduling information internally prior to coming on-campus. This will help to avoid any miscommunication or confusion the day of the interviews. We also recommend that you contact Career Services prior to your event with the names of recruiters who will be coming on-campus to conduct the interviews.

Pre-Selecting Students
Once the resume submission deadline for students has passed, it is now your responsibility to review all resumes submitted and “pre-select” students that you would like to interview on-campus. Please make sure to check your event, so that you meet Employer Pre-Select deadlines. Our On Campus Recruiting Program is only for Fordham students and recent alumni.

The Day of Your Interviews
As a courtesy to you, Career Services prepares a folder with copies of the interview schedules and resumes of students being interviewed and makes this available to you the day of your interviews. We encouraged you to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your first interview, so that you may review your schedule for the day.
