Career Center
Recruiting Day
Parking
Visitors may park in the East Campus Parking Garage on Forbes Avenue. Upon approaching the entry station, please take a ticket from the dispenser. Before returning to your vehicle, go to the pay station to pay for the time you were parked. The pay station will dispense the original ticket which you will then use to exit the garage.
Check-In
Recruiters should report to the Career Center by 8:50am. The Career Center is located on the Lower Level of the University Center and opens at 8:30am. We make every effort to accomodate all of our recruiters in the Career Center offices. However, some interviews may take place in overflow locations in Warner Hall, Hamburg Hall, or the University Center. All recruiters should report to the Career Center to be escorted to their interview locations.
Upon arrival, recruiters will be greeted by a member of our team and escorted to an interview room where their day's schedule will be ready for them. Each recruiter should bring business cards and their candidates' resumes. All recruiters will be given an interview evaluation form for use throughout the day. We ask you to fill this out as you go through the day or when you return to work. We provide this feedback (anonymously) to our students so they can improve their interview skills.
Overview of the Day
Interviews typically begin at 9:00am and run through 4:30pm, with fifteen-minute breaks in the morning and afternoon and a one-hour lunch beginning at 12:15pm.
At any time throughout your day, you are invited to meet with a member of our staff to review your experience and discuss any specific concerns or needs. You may informally request such a meeting when you arrive or may contact our employer relations representative, Judith Mancuso, Associate Director, at 412-268-1910 or jm5p@andrew.cmu.edu to set up a specific time. Either way, this is a great opportunity for us to learn how we can best serve you.
Lunch
Lunch is on your own. We are in the central student building, so there is a "food court" on the 2nd floor of our building, at which you can get anything from asian cuisine to mexican, from sandwiches to pizza. You will need to pay for your lunch with cash only -- credit cards are not accepted. Please check with the front desk for information about nearby dining if you would like to eat elsewhere. You can also look for restaurants at http://www.pittsburgh.com/restaurants/9.
"To Do" Checklist Before Arriving
Every campus visit involves attention to detail. These details may vary from school to school. Recruiters can print out the 'To Do' checklist to be certain that they are prepared to visit Carnegie Mellon.
