On-Campus Interviewing

On-campus recruiting is a convenient way to fill your organization’s staffing needs. Through a partnership with the National Association of Colleges and Employers, Ball State offers you a system called Cardinal Career Link. Using this system, you have the ability to manage your job postings and campus interviews.

After you have scheduled a date to recruit on campus, you can post your job descriptions, view and print résumés of interested students, select the students you would like to interview, and view your interview schedules all through Cardinal Career Link! You can even browse résumé books, in which students have posted their résumés, to search for potential interview candidates.

On the day of your scheduled visit, you will have a private room to conduct your interviews. For information on how to schedule an on-campus recruiting session, see below.
