On Campus Interviews

Only Employer Relations Staff can change the APPLY END date for jobs linked to your interview schedule.  The application period opens 60 days before the interview date and closes 17 days before the interview date. If you wish to change the deadline to align with other campus activities, e.g. your information session or a career fair, contact us.

There is no limit to the number of positions you can attach to your schedule, but you can only attach one position at a time. On the interview schedule page, click on the attach a job button. Follow the instructions, save your action, and repeat this process for each job you need to attach.  Read this Handshake article, How to Add a Job to an Interview Schedule, for assistance.

Yes. If they are current UC Berkeley students or alumni of up to five years, they have access to Handshake. All students and recent graduates will have an existing account. If the APPLY END has passed, you can search for their names in Handshake, add them to the job, and set their status as primary or alternate. Many employers meet students at career fairs, information sessions or other campus events. Read this Handshake article, How to Manually Add an Applicant to an Interview Schedule for assistance.

You may select jobs and interview groups to associate with specific slots/rooms, and mark slots as unavailable so that no student can take that slot. From the interview schedule page, select the slots you wish to edit and click on Bulk Edit Slots. A popup window will appear where you can make edits. If you need to change your interview date(s), number of rooms, or the schedule set-up, you must contact us.  We will accommodate requests, when possible, but know that we allow Interviews to take place between 9:00am and 4:30pm only.

Send your schedule to ocr@berkeley.edu at least one day prior to the interview date. Please send the schedule in a printable format, preferably Word or Excel, and include the company name, interview date, interviewer name, student name, and interview time. Do not include any candidate personal information such as phone number or email as we will use the schedule for check-in at the reception desk. Note that interviews must be scheduled between 9:00am and 4:30pm only.
