Career Fair Questions:
Q:
What are the main differences between the Fall, Winter and Spring
Career Fairs?
A: The
Fall Career Fair in October each year is our main recruiting event.
The majority of our students from all years and majors will be in
attendance and it is your best opportunity to be seen. This event
also uses a boothing company to provide a more formal feeling. The
Winter and Spring Fairs are smaller events that use an open concept
rather than vendor booths, but are still excellent opportunities to
network with students. All three events are perfect opportunities to
recruit for full-time, intern and co-op candidates.
Q:
I am with a graduate school, can we attend one of the career fairs?
Graduate Schools are more than welcome to attend our regular career
fairs, but we also encourage them to consider attending our Graduate
School Fair held each September for maximum exposure.
Q:
I submitted my registration for one of your events, but have not
gotten a confirmation. Should I resubmit my information?
A:
Please allow 1-2 weeks for processing of any registration form
on our site. You should get an acknowledgement email within 1-2
days, but a full confirmation packet may take a little longer to
complete.
Q: What method of payment do you accept for career fair fees?
A: We
except checks and the following credit cards by phone or fax:
American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover. Checks should be made
payable to "RHIT Career Services" and credit card payments should be
phoned in to Charity Mouck at 812-877-8961. Instructions will be on
your invoice.
Q:
If I leave packages behind for shipping after one of your events,
when will they be sent back?
A:
Packages left after an event should go out in the next day's mail,
with the exception of the Fall Career Fair which make take up to 3 days
for all packages to be sent.
Q:
I need to cancel my attendance at one of your Career Fairs. How do I
do this?
A:
Please contact Charity Mouck at 812-877-8961 or
cmouck@rose-hulman.edu to notify her at least two
weeks prior to the event. If your event had a fee associated with
it, you will get a refund if you cancel two weeks prior to the
event. If you paid a fee but do not cancel two weeks prior to the
event, you will be unable to get a refund of the fee.
Q: Are third-party recruiters allowed to attend your career fair
events?
A:
Generally, No. We restrict attendance at our career fair events to
companies doing their own hiring, however we are more than happy to
work directly with third-party recruiters to assist them with job
postings and other methods of recruiting talent for their open
positions.
Co-op/Internship Programs:
Q: What
do I need to do to start a co-op program?
A: We
have a very flexible co-op program, so your best bet is to contact
our co-op coordinator to discuss your needs. We operate on a quarter
system, and we can set up a variety of options for you. For more
information, contact Kathy Kassissieh at
kathy.kassissieh@rose-hulman.edu
or visit the
Co-op section of our website.
Q: How can I apply for your EIP or BE Internship Programs?
A: Our
Entrepreneurial Internship and Biomedical Engineering Internship
Programs are aimed at providing assistance to small to mid-sized
companies within Indiana. For more information, visit our
EIP and BE information pages.
Applications are accepted in early spring.
Q: What are your requirements for a summer internship program?
A:
Unlike co-op which has a few official forms that need to be filled
out, we do not require special paperwork or evaluation forms for
students or companies, unless they participate in our
EIP and BE information programs.
Students need to be given career related work that is substantial,
receive mentoring and be provided with adequate compensation for
their work. To discuss your internship program with us, feel free to
contact us!
Information Sessions:
Q: Do you charge to conduct information sessions on campus?
A: No,
we do not charge for information sessions. The only potential charge
would be if you chose to cater food for your event.
Q: When are the best times to have information sessions?
A: Our
students have a very busy schedule during the day, so information
sessions are best held after 5:00pm.
Q: Can we have food
at our sessions?
A:
Yes. If your information session is held in the Hulman Memorial
Union, you are not allowed to order in/bring in outside food, but
you can order food from our catering office. You can see catering
options
on their website.
Information sessions in other buildings can order in outside food.
Q: How
many students usually attend info sessions?
A:
Attendance varies by day of the week and time of the year.
Information sessions held earlier in the year often have better
attendance simply because more students are still looking for work,
but the average attendance is 10-15 students.
Q: What
are the Information Session rooms like?
A: We
have a variety of rooms available in a number of buildings. We try
to hold most sessions in our student union building. The largest
room can hold upwards of 100 students, but most rooms that we use
hold 25-40 students depending on the set up.
Q: Can we show a PowerPoint presentation or video during our
session?
A:
Yes. Just let us know your AV needs and we will get that equipment
ordered when we reserve your room.
Q: Can we give a classroom presentation instead of a traditional
information session?
A: Due
to our rigorous academic schedule, classroom presentations are
usually very difficult to schedule.
Interview Questions:
Q: Do you
charge for on-campus interviews?
A: No.
Q: Will my interview
room be private?
A: In
most situations, yes. There are times in the year, such as the day
after a career fair, when we have to coordinate interviews in a
conference-style set up, but you still have adequate space to have
good conversations with students. When possible we house all
interviews within our offices, but we do sometimes use rooms outside
of our offices or in other buildings.
Q: Can you set
up phone interviews for me?
A:
Yes, we can coordinate a schedule of phone interviews just like a
regular on-campus day and will have private room available for
students to take the call in.
Q: Do you have videoconferencing available for interviews?
A: We
will soon. We have purchased videoconferencing equipment and are
installing it for use in Fall 2008.
Q: Can you
facilitate candidate testing for us?
A: In
most cases, yes. If you provide materials, instructions and
criteria, we are usually able to proctor all exams. The only issue
would be if we were having a heavy interview day, then our space for
testing might be restricted.
Job Posting Questions:
Q: What job posting
system to you use?
A: We
use eRecruiting through the Experience network for our current
students and an independent platform for alumni.
If you are interested in linking to Rose-Hulman through eRecruiting
go to http://rhit.erecruiting.com/emp/sblogin
and follow the "Create an Account" link.
Q: Is
there a fee to post a job to your students?
A: No.
If you request to link to our school you can post your own jobs for
free, or you can send your job description to one of us and we can
post it for you. The only time there is a fee is when you choose the
extended service from Experience that allows you to search student
profiles at partner universities.
Q: Can I post my own job, or do I need to go through your office?
A: If
you request to link to our school through eRecruiting, you are able
to post your own jobs. We review every posting and do make
corrections to postings on occasion. You are more than welcome to
send job postings to someone in our office to post them for you if
you wish.
Q: How long do
you keep my job posting open?
A:
That depends. Our students are often "motivated by the deadline" so
we try to avoid leaving jobs open for extended periods of time,
because they tend not to be seen. Usually we try to limit the job to
one month, and as the end of the year approaches we start using
shorter deadlines to get your posting seen sooner. We are more than
happy to re-list jobs at any time if you want more exposure.
Q: Do you do job
postings for alumni?
A:
Yes. We maintain a separate job posting system for our alumni job
seekers. There is no cost to post jobs to this system and it works
in much the same way as our system for current students except that
you do not have the option of linking directly in. If you are an
alumni of Rose-Hulman, however, you can make an alumni account and
post jobs directly to other alumni. For more information, see our
Alumni Job Posting Page.
Q: What information should I include with my job posting?
A:
Depending on whether you are posting your job to our current
students or our alumni, we may need different information. Generally
we need a description of the job and basic criteria. You can get
more information by visiting our
Job Posting Page.
Q: Does your school
have resumes books?
A. No.
We do not participate in resume books through eRecruiting, but you
can contact us to request resumes as you need them. Please visit our
Job Posting Page
for more details. We do not do resume referrals for alumni.
General Questions:
Q: Do you have average starting salaries for graduating seniors?
A:
Yes. You can find them on our
Recruitment Statistics Page.
If you ever need more up to date salary information, just let us
know!
Q: Can you
provide placement statistics?
A:
Yes. You can find that on our
Recruitment Statistics Page
as well.
Q: How are your
statistics collected?
A: Our
statistics are collected from a variety of areas. Salary reports are
all self-reported from students, so we always indicate how many
offers are included in an average. For our senior placement number,
we track the entire graduating class on a personal level to have a
total snapshot of their availability.
Q:
Where can I find a list of student organizations?
A:
Visit the
student organization page
online.
Q: How many
students are in each major?
A: We
provide periodic updates on enrollment by major on the bottom of our
Recruitment Statistics page.
Q: How can I
advertise to your students?
A: If
you are interested in purchasing an ad in our career services
manual, contact Charity Mouck at
cmouck@rose-hulman.edu and she can pass your
information on to our publisher. If you are interested in putting an
ad in our weekly student newspaper, you can find
their ad information online.
Q:
Do you allow sponsorship of events in your office?
A: We
have some limited sponsorship opportunities. You can become a
Career Services Partner with
a yearly gift, and once a year we offer sponsorship of our
Performing Arts Series as
well. For more information, contact Charity Mouck at
