While many organizations are open to virtual interviews, the specifics on platforms, logistics, and timing can vary widely. Students are asked to please keep in mind the following:- Clearly articulate to the employer that they are currently abroad via application materials.
- If selected for an interview, students are asked to reach out directly to the recruiter, ensuring the company is comfortable and open to conducting the interview virtually during their visit to campus. Employer policies and processes vary greatly and an organization may ultimately prefer to schedule your interview at a different time and date.
- Video conferencing mediums are at the discretion of the employer. Students are asked to confirm all technical logistics, including preferred platform and login process, with the recruiter prior to the interview.
