Fall Interview Day is an annual recruitment/interviewing event sponsored by the College Career Consortium of Illinois, a grouping of 18 colleges and universities across Illinois. Fall Interview Day 2021 will be taking place virtually in a multi-day event, September 29 & 30, and October 1, 2021.
Students, you are invited by participating employers to be interviewed for positions in the fields of Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Business Administration, and IT. All interviews will take place between 8:00am and 5:00pm (CST) on the selected date(s). Employers will be asked to use their own interviewing platform (Zoom, MS Teams, Meet) if possible. Job descriptions and interview schedules will be posted and managed through Handshake by employers.
Approximately 15 employers will conduct (12) 30-minute remote interviews daily each of 3 days to fill internships or full-time, degree-requiring vacancies for the current/upcoming year. You can secure multiple interviews in one location.
We suggest business professional attire for your interview. Plan ahead, dress to impress, and make a great first impression.
