Basic Steps for InterviewTRAK:

1. Complete Your Online Registration/User Profile
2. Upload Your Resume onto the System
3. View On-Campus Interview Opportunities
4. Electronically submit your Resume to Employers
5. Sign up Online for Your Interviews

Step One: Complete Your Online Registration/User Profile

When entering your user profile into InterviewTRAK, please note:

• Employers do not have access to the information on your profile.
• All fields marked with an asterisk in red are required. You MUST complete these fields in order to continue with the registration process.
• To make multiple selections, hold down the Control key (PCs) or the Command key (Macs) while clicking on the left mouse button to highlight more than one selection.
•  Be sure to review the "Preview Profile" once you have completed all of the sections. If you need to make changes to your profile, click on the links provided under each section and you will be returned to these areas to make changes on your profile.
•  By completing the Profile and an Online Resume, you are authorizing Career Services to release your employment materials to prospective employers you have selected in InterviewTRAK.
•  If you have previously completed the Registration/User Profile on MonsterTRAK, you do not need to submit a new one. Simply access the one you have previously completed and update your information for this recruiting period.

InterviewTRAK Registration: Enter your User Profile now.

Step Two: Upload Your Resume onto the System

Select the Resume menu option on InterviewTRAK and follow the instructions for entering your resume online.

• If you do not have a resume, you must complete one to use InterviewTRAK. Although you can enter your resume directly into InterviewTRAK using the "Text Editor" feature, we strongly recommend you use a standard word processing package such as Word to create your resume offline and then upload a copy to InterviewTRAK. This allows you to maintain a copy of your resume and allows for easy access for updates as required.
• Once your resume is created using a standard word processing application, you can easily upload that file into InterviewTRAK. This is by far your best option!
•  You may upload up to TEN different versions of your resume into your InterviewTRAK resume account.
•  Use the Edit/Replace function only if you have made minor offline changes to your resume and want to upload and replace that resume in InterviewTRAK with the updated version.
• Your Resume file is the site where you upload your cover letter or other supplemental information that may be requested by an employer.

Step Three: View On-Campus Interview Opportunities

After you have completed your Online Registration/User Profile, and uploaded your resume onto the system, you can now access InterviewTRAK to review and sign up for interviews by clicking the "InterviewTRAK" link on the Main Menu.

• On the "Search Menu" page, you will see a gray box titled, "Opportunities." To allow you to review the entire interview schedule for the current semester, change the month in the "to" box to either "12" (for fall grads) or "5" (for spring grads).
• Next, click in the small box next to "Only show results for which you meet employer's requirements." NOTE: Make sure your Registration/User Profile is up-to-date since this data is used to display the interviews for which you qualify. 
• Then, click on "Search."

Review the employment descriptions and job requirements by clicking on the blue "Details" button located in the lower left corner of each listing to determine the positions that interest you. Typically, employers will have specific requirements regarding degree, major, citizenship/visa status and date of graduation. If a presentation
is scheduled, it will also appear in this section. You will only be able to "Submit Resume" for positions if you meet these specified employer requirements. 

THE EMPLOYER DATABASE IS BEING UPDATED CONSTANTLY. We encourage you to look at InterviewTRAK daily for changes, cancellations, additions and preselection notices. Also, monitor your email frequently for employer and/or Career Services messages.

Step Four: Electronically submit your Resume to Employers

Open Sign-Ups: If you qualify under the employer's requirements, you may directly sign up for an interview time on a first-come, first-served basis by clicking on the "Sign up for this Interview" button located in the middle of the page, and selecting a time slot on the following "Sign up Schedule" page.

Pre-select Interviews: Click on the "Submit Resume" button in the middle of the page to be considered for an interview. Check back on the system to find out if you are preselected. 

• To be considered for preselect interviews, you must submit an electronic resume. Whenever you "Submit Resume" into an employer's mailbox, select one version of your resume from your resume file and submit it electronically. In some cases, employers may also require a cover letter.
• All materials must be submitted to employers during the "Resume Submission" period identified on each employer screen. No materials will be accepted after the stated "Resume Submission" deadline (unless there is a deadline extension requested later by that employer). 
• After the "Resume Submission" deadline, the materials are sent to the employer for review. Approximately 7-10 days later, the individuals selected for interviews by the employer will be posted on InterviewTRAK.

Reminder: If the "Sign up for this Interview" or "Submit Resume" button described do not appear on your screen, it may be that you are either not within the dates for submitting materials or you may not qualify under the employer requirements.

Step Five: Sign-up Online For Your Interviews

Open Interviews: See Step Four above under "Open Sign-Ups."

Pre-select Interviews: 

• When you have been pre-selected for an interview, a notice appears on the InterviewTRAK Search Menu under your "Personal dates" - "I am preselected or an alternate for." You may also receive an email notice from employers.
• If the sign-up period is in progress at that time, click the sign-up button at the bottom of the page and choose an available time. If the sign-up period is not yet open, you will need to check back on the date mentioned.
• If the sign-up deadline has passed, you must contact Career Services for assistance. 
• You have not been pre-selected if the pre-selected students have already been chosen for the interviews and you received no notice. 

To Cancel an Interview:

• On the InterviewTRAK Search Menu, go to "Personal dates," choose the option that reads, "I have signed up for" and click on "Display Dates."
• Click on the check box next to the interview that you want to cancel.
• Click on "Remove."

To Change an Interview: If you need to change your interview time, you may do so before the interview sign-up deadline by: 

• Follow the instructions under "To Cancel an Interview" above.
• Repeat the sign up process to select a new time slot.

Late Cancellation/No-Show Policy: A 24-hour cancellation notice is required. Failure to extend this courtesy to employers is considered a "no show." Any candidate with a no-show violation will be denied further access to InterviewTRAK and campus interviews. To be reinstated into the program, you must write a letter of apology to the employer and submit a copy to the Recruiting Coordinator in Career Services.
