| InterviewTRAK |
| INTRODUCTION |
The
Rutgers-New Brunswick on-campus interviewing program, InterviewTRAK,
is part of MonsterTRAK.com.
InterviewTRAK enables you to manage all aspects of the pre-interview
process online. Once you have accessed
and updated your student profile and uploaded your resume,
you can begin to submit your resume to the employers that
are coming to campus. Check Interview-TRAK several times
a week to review job descriptions, submit resumes, determine
if you have been selected for an interview, and schedule
your interviews. All interviews
take place at the Career & Interview Center in the Busch
Campus Center. |
| |
| ELIGIBILITY |
|
Only
currently registered Rutgers-New Brunswick students can
use InterviewTRAK. To pursue full-time jobs
through InterviewTRAK, you must be a Rutgers-New Brunswick
senior or graduate student in your final year, anticipating
graduation in October 2006, January 2007 or May 2007.
Interviews for full-time jobs take place from October
until April.
NOTE:
If you entered your resume into MonsterTRAK as a junior,
it is mandatory that you update your student
profile and resume as a senior—the sooner, the better.
To
pursue summer internships through InterviewTRAK,
you must be a Rutgers-New Brunswick undergraduate or
graduate student. Most employers seek juniors for summer
internships, but some employers open their positions to
first-year students, sophomores, seniors heading to graduate
school and graduate students. Most interviews for internships
take place in February, March and April with resume submissions
beginning in December.
