Our office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. With prior arrangements we can accommodate extended recruiting hours. We are located on the first floor of the Administration Building, Room 130.

Parking Employers participating in On-Campus Interview days, Information Sessions, “Mock” Interviews and Employer Panels will receive a parking pass through email or it may be provided the day of the event.

For all Career Day and Education Expo events, parking lot 62 will be reserved to accommodate employer parking needs.

If a ticket is received for improper parking or improper placement of the provided parking pass, it will be the responsibility of the car’s owner.

Recruiting materials Employers will receive a folder containing a copy of the interview schedule, resumes, a campus map, a list of majors and an evaluation upon arrival.

Expectation of interviewees We have a No-Show policy in place for all candidates that wish to schedule an interview on campus. If a student misses an interview or cancels an interview with less than 24-hours notice they are required to write a letter of apology to the employer. Please report all no-shows to a staff member before you depart.

Employer Services Career Services makes many of the necessary arrangements for On-Campus Recruiting. We will reserve the rooms and order necessary equipment upon request. Please contact Campus Dining at 660.562.1275 if you would like to make arrangements for food or refreshments.

On-Campus Interviews Recruiters may choose to have an open, pre-select or fill at Career Day interview schedule. An open schedule allows students who meet the predetermined criteria (major, GPA, graduation date) to sign up for an interview. A pre-select schedule allows the recruiter to review the resumes submitted and then invite candidates of interest to select a time on the interview schedule. This schedule requires five weeks notice prior to interview date. Employers may choose to fill their schedule at Career Day if prior arrangements are made with Career Services.

To reserve interviewing dates and select scheduling arrangements, complete the On-Campus Recruiting form found at www.nwmissouri.edu/careerserv under On-Campus Interviewing. Please provide a complete job description, including the requirement of a bachelor’s degree.

Requests are processed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Information Sessions Information Sessions are usually held the night before On-Campus Interviews and provide a setting to promote awareness and excitement about the organization. Typically the session begins with an overview of the company, job expectations and industry trends, followed by a question/ answer session. Highlights of the organization can be shared through videos, slides, webpages or a question/answer session to increase student interest. Students and faculty will be notified of all information sessions. Recruiters can choose to add candidates from the Information Session to their interview schedule.

“Mock” Interview Day “Mock” Interview Day is held each fall and spring. The day is composed of eight mock interviews for each selected employer and is designed to provide students with feedback on how to improve their resume and interviewing skills to better prepare them for real interviews. Each interview session will be approximately 40 minutes, which allows 20 minutes to conduct the student’s interview and 10-15 minutes to evaluate the resume and provide them with feedback. This is an all-day event, the first interview begins at 8:30 a.m. and the last interview concludes by 4:30 p.m. If you are interested in participating please contact our office.

Employer Panels Career Services offers a variety of programs for students throughout the year. These programs are led by employers willing to share their point of view and experience within the industry. Panels typically conclude with a question/answer session. If you are interested in participating please contact our office.

Career Day Offered each fall and spring, this event provides employers the opportunity to connect with potential hires for full-time or internship positions. We believe you will find our event to be both affordable and professional. Graduate schools and other post-professional schools are also encouraged to participate.

This event is open to all students, alumni and community members.

Next-Day Interviews Next-Day Interviews are hosted the day following Career Day; employers must pre-register to reserve space to interview candidates of interest. Space is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Education Expo This job fair is exclusively for school districts and private schools seeking potential teaching candidates. Soon-tograduate teacher candidates, alumni and other guests can present their resumes to school districts and learn about the district’s immediate openings.

We provide this service to employers seeking to fill full-time or internship positions which require a bachelor’s degree or a degree in progress. Contact Career Services with the job description, including major, GPA and graduation date. Our staff will mail or email the resumes of qualified registered candidates to the employer.
