What happens when I upload my resume?

• Employers, including those who are not interviewing on campus, can find your resume and contact you. That's a good thing.
• However, don't stop at uploading. It's NOT the same as applying for specific jobs. You should also take the active step to view and apply for jobs that interest you in Hokies4Hire (see more below).

What's the On-Campus Interviewing Program (OCI)?

• 200 - 600 employers interview annually through Career Services.
  Annual variation is due to the economy and the job market.
  (See how many employers and students participate in OCI.)
• This is separate from and in addition to those employers who attend a career fair and use the career fair to schedule interviews for the day immediately after the fair.
• In 2009-2010, interviews occur during 9 weeks in fall semester, 8 weeks in spring semester.
  (See dates and deadlines for what happens when.)
• Jobs include permanent positions, co-ops and internships.
• You can view and apply for OCI and non-OCI jobs in Hokie4Hire.

Are all the jobs posted for VT students in Hokies4Hire?

• All employers who request to post jobs online for VT students are directed to use Hokies4Hire.
• However, some employers choose not to post online, but rather in hard copy; binders are in Career Services and you can view these during office hours.
• Employers can also use other online job posting resources. You should too!

MISSED INTERVIEW POLICY:

• No-showing for an interview you schedule is unacceptable.
  Read the Missed Interview Policy.
  Participation in OCI is a privilege you can lose.
  "I didn't know," is not accepted as an excuse.
