Setting Up On-Campus Presentations
An Employer Presentation is an excellent way for you to become acquainted with our students, and they with you.
To request an Information Session or Career Day presentation, please log-in to your JobLink account. From your JobLink dashboard, select the "Request New Information Session" link (found under shortcuts). Once your request has been reviewed, it will be confirmed by email or a member of our staff may contact you to discuss alternative dates and/or times.
Two types of Employer Presentations are popular at Rensselaer:
Information Session
Scheduled the day prior to your interviews. Also open to any other student who has an interest in learning more about your organization.
Information Sessions are generally used by employers to provide more detailed information on their products/services; to discuss position descriptions and career paths; and to talk about the social, cultural, educational, and housing opportunities in their geographic area.
The recruiting staff will make every effort to schedule these meetings so that yours will not be offered at the same time as another employer who is recruiting for similar academic disciplines.
Students scheduled to interview with you will be strongly encouraged to attend. (Please understand that some of them may have classes or prior obligations that may prevent them from attending your presentation.)
Corporate Career Day
Scheduled at any time during the year, though most popular before on-campus interviewing begins as a means to attract interested candidates.
Career Days are most often scheduled as half or full day events (usually between the hours of 10:00am and 4:00pm) and are held in the Great Hall of the Darrin Communications Center where there is the greatest student traffic. Career Days have also been held in our own CCPD Lounge.
