On-Campus Interviews

  • On-Campus Interviews

    Candidates register for the on-campus interviews through our web-based system called WSU CareerLink - part of the NACElink system. A resume is completed by each candidate, which is uploaded into the WSU CareerLink database. Registration is the basis for interview scheduling and the candidate's resume is the primary document furnished to recruiting organizations. If you require a cover letter, transcript, or writing sample, please be sure to include this on your Recruitment Information Form. If you have a supplemental application or job description, you must submit them electronically in Microsoft Word format. If you have an on-line application you would like candidates to complete, please be sure to provide the current link. You must book your date with the recruiting coordinator before sending in your information.
