Interviewing on or near campus maximizes your organization’s exposure to Wharton talent. It is an efficient method to assess multiple students’ skills and interests. Interviews can be held on campus or off campus at a location of the employer’s choice. There are no fees associated with reserving on-campus interviewing space or conducting on-campus interviews.

Once your interview date is confirmed and scheduling begins, your Recruiting Relationship Manager will send you information regarding logistics for the day of interviews. We strongly encourage that all interviewers review the MBA Recruiting Policies prior to their interview date.

Dates
Full-time on-campus interviewing begins on October 16, 2009, and continues throughout the academic year, with the exception of the blackout dates outlined in the MBA Recruiting Calendar. Interviewing of the first-year class begins on February 4, 2010, the start of our Dedicated Interview Period (DIP). After DIP, first-year interviewing continues on Fridays throughout the academic year. Intern interviews can also be held off campus in Philadelphia, Monday-Thursday from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Scheduling
Scheduling interviews and collecting resumes is easily done through CareerPath, our online recruiting system. Through this system companies can enter job descriptions, view resumes, and select candidates to interview. Access to CareerPath requires registration through the MBA Career Management website.

All schedule formats need to be fully adhered to once student sign-ups begin. A typical schedule begins at 8:30 am and ends at 5:00 pm.

Walk-In Interviews
If your schedule allows, our walk-in process enables you to consider additional candidates on the day of the interview. While it is at the company’s full discretion to allow walk-in interviews, we strongly encourage the practice, because it allows companies to fill open slots with interested students.

To allow walk-in interviews, you must contact your Recruiting Relationship Manager at least two business days prior to the scheduled on-campus interview date. Interested students will submit their resumes to MBA Career Management the day before the scheduled interview date.We will provide the interviewer with the resumes of all interested students on the morning of their interview. The interviewer may select any of these students to fill open time slots, but is not required to do so.
