How can I use the web-based interview scheduling system?


Due to extraordinary budgetary pressures on the State, and resulting budget cuts to the CSU system, we have significantly reduced resources in the coming year. As a result, we have had to modify our On-Campus Interview program for 2011-12.

We will continue to offer the use of our interview facilities to employers who wish to conduct on-campus interviews with our students, however, we are unable to offer the scheduling feature of the program in order to greatly reduce the staff hours required of this labor intensive program. Employers will be responsible for scheduling interviews directly with our students.

What is a typical on-campus interview schedule?


The typical interview schedule, unless otherwise arranged, begins at 8:30 a.m. and concludes at 4:30 p.m., allowing for twelve 30-minute interviews with morning, lunch and afternoon breaks. We request that you complete your interviewing and vacate the building by 5:00 pm. We appreciate your help in this regard.

How do I cancel a room reservation?


It is the employer’s responsibility to honor scheduled interviews once students have been selected. If an emergency forces a last-minute cancellation or a need for rescheduling, employers should contact Sherri Bowman at Sherri.Bowman@sjsu.edu / 408.924.6027. It is the employer’s responsibility to contact the affected students.
