• Submit your résumé to companies who are visiting your campus to hire students/alumni.
• Sign up for interviews.
• Find out about on-campus presentations, information sessions, and group meetings.
• Keep track of the résumés you have submitted on InterviewTRAK, interviews you have signed up for, and other information.

To participate in a Preselect interview you must first submit a résumé to the company, which is reviewed by the recruiter. If they would like to interview you then they will preselect you on InterviewTRAK. If you are preselected, you can begin signing up on a certain date. In some cases, the employer may choose a separate list of alternates; alternate sign-up usually begins after the Preselect sign-up begins. This means that the interview time slots may be full before you have a chance to sign up. (** If the interview is full then see your career center or email the employer directly.)
