On-Campus Recruitment: Myths and Realities |
|
Peter Vogt |
If your
school's career center has a well-established on-campus
recruiting program, consider yourself lucky. It's the
first and maybe last time prospective employers will
seek you out.
That's why it's so critical to understand how on-campus
recruiting works -- and doesn't. Let's set the record
straight on some prevalent myths.
Myth: Only business and technology
majors benefit from on-campus recruiting.
Reality: Many employers who interview
on campus will talk to students from any major.
Insurance companies, car-rental agencies, some
consulting firms and other organizations are well-known
for recruiting students from across the spectrum.
Myth: On-campus recruiting is only for
seniors, especially those about to graduate.
Reality: "Students often don't realize
that employers also use on-campus recruiting to find
interns," says Lisa Lowe of the University of Georgia
Career Center.
Lowe points out that alumni also often believe employers
aren't interested in interviewing them as part of
on-campus recruiting -- this is not always true.
Myth: On-campus interviews are just
brief, informal chats that can be taken less seriously
than the real thing.
Reality: You must prepare for on-campus
interviews just as you would for one at the company.
ReSearch the organization, dress appropriately, be ready
to answer tough questions and be on time.
Myth: Only large companies participate
in on-campus recruiting.
Reality: While it's true that many
firms that recruit on campus are larger companies, some
midlevel and smaller firms also find new talent there.
Myth: The employers recruiting on
campus are the only ones hiring new grads right now and
have the only jobs available to them.
Reality: Not even close. The firms
recruiting on college campuses are the ones that can do
so cost-effectively. Does that mean the thousands of
other firms out there aren't recruiting college students
at all? Of course not; they just do it differently.
Myth: If I don't show up for a
scheduled on-campus interview, it's no big deal.
Reality: It's a huge deal -- times two.
For you, one no-show may win you a yearlong or even
permanent ban from participating in on-campus
interviewing. Why? Because when employers come to campus
expecting to talk to students who don't show up, they
get mad and sometimes decide not to come back to your
school.
Your decision to sleep in instead of going to your
scheduled interview hurts not only you, but also your
career center, your fellow students and your school.
Myth: All I need to do to get a job is
participate in on-campus interviewing.
Reality: It's never wise to pin all
your hopes on one job hunting strategy. So be smart and
diversify your job hunt by pursuing several strategies.
Myth: If you're not majoring in the
disciplines a recruiter requires or prefers, you cannot
get an on-campus interview.
Reality: So you don't have the "right"
major to get an interview -- or so it seems. Contact the
company directly and ask to be considered anyway.
Sometimes recruiters have empty time slots to fill
during their time on campus. Maybe you can get one of
those slots -- but only if you're politely persistent
and ask.
Myth: The career center tells employers
who to interview.
Reality: Career services professionals
may make suggestions to employers, but the final call is
up to the individual recruiter. If anything, the
counselors at your career center will be fighting to
persuade employers to interview more students from your
school, including those with diverse educational
backgrounds.
Myth: A successful on-campus interview
will lead directly to a job offer.
Reality: More likely, a successful
on-campus interview will lead to a second interview,
probably at the company. But you'll be one significant
step closer to the job you've worked so hard for, all
because you were ready to impress employers when they
came calling. |
