Pick up final schedule packet
Although you may view/print your schedules and resumes, please note that schedules may not be final until at least one working day before your interview date. Please verify your schedule before making any manual additions (at information sessions, for example). Your schedule packet will be ready for pickup by 4:00 pm on the business day before your interviews. This packet includes your final schedule, corresponding resumes, an evaluation form, and other pertinent information.

Making schedule changes/cancellations
If you need to modify your interview schedule to accommodate travel or meeting plans, please contact us at ecs@osu.edu or 614/292-6651 at least four weeks prior to the interview date so changes can be made, preferably before students have begun to schedule.

If you must cancel an interview schedule, please let us know as soon as possible. Our system enables you to e-mail personal messages to students who have signed up for your schedule(s), so that you can communicate your cancellation and any follow-up steps directly to them.

Check in/out at Engineering Career Services (ECS)
Upon your arrival, please check in at our reception desk in 199 Hitchcock Hall (see maps and directions for details). We ask for your business card, give you your final schedule and corresponding resumes, and direct you to your interview location.

Please note our office hours are 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, EST. Doors are usually unlocked at 7:45 am, EST. The University Office of Legal Affairs has advised us that, for the safety and security of both interviewers and students, all interviews should be concluded by 5:00 p.m., when College offices close. Several nearby restaurants and The Blackwell hotel lobby are possible locations for after-hours meetings or interviews. Check hours of operation for nearby restaurants in our online restaurant listing. For more details, please see the “After-Hours” Recruiter Memo in your interviewing packet.

Provide feedback
Your schedule packet will include an evaluation form requesting feedback on our services and students. Your feedback can help us make even unsuccessful interviews useful learning experiences for students; with it, we can coach students on their interviewing skills. We also value your comments and suggestions about our services. If you forget to complete the form or have questions regarding the evaluation process, please contact us at ecs@osu.edu or 614/292-6651.

We value your time and efforts in the recruiting process, so we have a strict student “no-show” policy with consequences that include suspension and dismissal from our program. Please let us know immediately if a student misses an interview.

Provide follow-up
Students tell us that they are particularly impressed when recruiters maintain timely contact with them after their interviews, advise them of their applicant status, and keep them informed of important “next steps” in the hiring process. Something as simple as a personal e-mail can assure students of your interest in them and prolong their interest in your specific opportunity.

We also appreciate it when recruiters communicate with us after the interviews, to inform us of students that have received offers or accepted employment. You can submit your offer/hire information online or via e-mail ECS at ecs@osu.edu.
