On-campus Recruiting at Behrend, University
Park, and Harrisburg
Penn State Behrend alumni can use the
on-line interview management
system. This
web-based system offers alumni the opportunity to interview for
entry-level, full-time positions with a variety of employers.
Interviews take place during the fall and spring semesters at
Penn State Behrend in the Career Development Center, at the
Bank of America Career Services
Building on Penn State's University Park campus or other
campuses as noted on the system. This is primarily a pre-select
system, where employers select candidates from among those who
request interviews with them. In order to participate in the
on-campus recruiting system, you
must complete the registration form and return it to the Career
Development Center with the required fee. The fee is currently
$40.00 per academic year (subject to change). Once you are
registered you will be provided with a user ID and password to
access the system, instructions, and an On-Campus Recruiting
Calendar.
You must be able to check the weekly job
postings, submit resumes, and sign up for interviews (if
selected) via the web, AS WELL AS ATTEND ALL SCHEDULED
INTERVIEWS IN PERSON at the campus hosting that recruiter.
For additional information on procedures,
please visit the On-Campus
Recruiting page.

alumni at no charge for one calendar year following graduation.
After that, your first appointment is free. Subsequent counselor time is $25.00 per hour. Contact

materials in the office. We also have links to many different
career and job sites.
A computer terminal is also available

is a professional networking program that links students and
alumni with alumni. Alumni
who are changing jobs or careers, or who want to advance in
their chosen career may register at the Web site.
The Behrend
Career Connection: Another Way to Give!
Behrend graduates and friends have been
very helpful in encouraging their employers to recruit more
Behrend candidates for internship and full-time positions.
We invite you to continue this tradition in any way that may be of interest to you. E-mail recruitbehrend@psu.edu for more information on how you can get involved.
