Congratulations! You've
passed the first step of the selection process and will now be meeting
an employer face-to-face for an interview. Career Services offers
the following resources to assist you with interviewing.
On-Campus
Recruiting and Interviewing On-campus interviews are
conducted each academic semester through Career Services at the
University of Wisconsin - Green Bay. This program provides
students with the opportunity to visit one-on-one with employers seeking
full-time or internship candidates. Interviews are generally scheduled
beginning on or around October 1st for Fall semester, and February 1st
for Spring semester.
How can I participate? On-Campus Recruiting visits are scheduled through Career Services in
PRO (Phoenix Recruitment On-Line). All currently registered students at
UW-Green Bay have access to PRO. To participate:
- Update your profile in PRO and upload and publish a current resume
in PRO. This is REQUIRED; without a resume, you
will not be able to schedule an interview!
- View the Calendar in PRO for the current interview schedule.
- Submit your resume for those positions in which you have an
interest.
- For "open" interview schedules, you will be able to
select an interview time once your resume is submitted. For
"pre-select" schedules, the employer will collect and
review student resumes. They will make interview decisions and
you will be notified by e-mail if you are accepted as an interview
candidate, if you are an alternate or if you are not accepted for an
interview. Accepted and alternate candidates will then be able
to schedule their interview time slots in PRO.
- Note your scheduled interview time! Failure to show for a
scheduled interview may result in your dismissal from this
program. Note the On-Campus Recruitment
Policies below.
- Prepare for your interview: Review the organization's
website/literature, attend an "Interviewing Like a
Professional" workshop, review the "Interviewing Like a Professional"
handout and questions, or visit with a staff member in Career
Services.
- If you have questions, please contact Career Services at (920)
465-2163.
Mock/Practice Interviews
Are you nervous about the
interview process? Would you like to practice answering interview
questions prior to your interview? If so, you should consider
scheduling an appointment to visit with one of our staff members and participate in
a Mock Interview. A mock interview simulates an employment
interview in which our staff will ask you questions and provide you with
feedback about your responses to help you best market yourself to an
employer.
To schedule a practice interview, call Career Services at
(920) 465-2163.
On-Campus Recruitment
and Resume Referral Policies
- Students, alumni and
community members registering with Phoenix
Recruitment On-line (PRO) via the Web assume total
responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of
the information contained in their record and on
their resume. Career Services staff reserves the
right to not forward a resume to an organization if
information within the demographic/registration
section of the student PRO record contradicts or is
in conflict with the required qualifications of the
position.
- Resumes that are
forwarded to organizations for on-campus recruitment
and resume referrals are recorded electronically. An
individual may check the status of which
organizations received a resume at any time by phone
or in person. Individuals are not automatically
notified of this action.
- Demographic information (i.e. sex, age, ethnic background, physical
disability, etc.) requested in PRO is not forwarded
to an employer. This information is only used for
statistical purposes internally in Career Services.
- The student
identification number is a required submission of the
PRO system. PRO uses it as a way to generate a unique
record for an individual. This number is used only
internally and is never shared with an employer.
- Career Services will
release contact information over the phone to
employers if they are unable to contact an individual
with the information listed on the resume that was
received. This applies to e-mail information as well.
- Students must meet
qualifications as stated by the employer to be
eligible for an on-campus interview or for a resume
to be forwarded through a resume referral.
- Students are advised to
not abuse the on-campus recruitment or the resume
referral program. Examples of abuse would include
failure to not show for an on-campus interview,
failure to provide 24 hours advance notice when
canceling an interview with Career Services and
failure to show professional courtesy to an employer
by not responding to phone or written correspondence.
Repeated abuse will be addressed by Career Services
staff and privileges to participate in the
recruitment programs may be revoked.
- If Career Services is
notified by an employer of unethical or inappropriate
behavior of a student during an interview, Career
Services staff reserves the right to address the
issue with the student. If the behavior is severe,
the student may be referred to the campus judicial
process. Interview and referral privileges will be
removed.
- Any student not meeting the qualifications for an
on-campus interview may request to have the name of
the contact person for that organization and can
personally forward a letter to the contact person in
order to request directly for consideration and a
personal interview. (Ex: A student is not accepted for a pre-select
interview schedule.)
- The University does not
accept responsibility for the actions of any
on-campus or off-campus employers during interviews.
Students are encouraged to bring to the attention of
Career Services staff any unethical, unprofessional
or inappropriate behavior of an interviewer or host
organization. The situation will be explored and the
issue addressed with the organization in question.
- Students, alumni and
community members must be currently registered with
Career Services and any appropriate fees paid in
order to participate in on-campus recruitment.
- The office staff will
critique a resume when it is uploaded
to PRO for the first time only. It is the individual's
responsibility to make appropriate changes or to have
future editions of the resume critiqued by Career
Services staff.
- It is an individual's
responsibility to inform Career Services if she/he is
not interested in having her/his resume referred to
employers or if he/she has become employed. When
notification is received, the individual's resume is
marked inactive or "employed" therefore preventing the
individual's resume from being forwarded to
organizations for consideration for employment or
on-campus interviews. If repeated employers note
incorrect address information, or that a person is
employed, then the student/alumnus will be marked as
blocked and the resume will not be forwarded in the
future.
- Interview schedules are
open or pre-select. For all open interview schedules,
resumes will be forwarded to the organization to
review. The organization MAY choose to contact a
selected group of students; however, any student
meeting the qualifications may sign-up for the
interview any time prior to the campus interview
visit. Once the schedule(s) are filled, students will
be put on a waiting list and contacted by Career
Services staff if a time slot becomes available.
Resumes of students on the waiting list will be given
to the representative for review at the end of the
interview day.
- An individual interested
in interviewing with organizations that have chosen
a pre-select interview schedule may request to have
her/his resume forwarded to the employer for
consideration. Individuals need to indicate this
interest by forwarding a copy of their resume in PRO
for the appropriate organization.
Once an organization has made an interview decision of a candidate,
all candidates for that schedule will be notified by e-mail of the
employer's decision.

Case Study Interviews:
These types of interviews may help an employer evaluate
a candidate's analytical skills, creativity and the ability to frame and
structure problems. There isn't necessarily a "right" or "wrong" answer;
the employer will look at your problem solving abilities and the logic
you used to arrive at your answer. Refer to the links below to
read sample case interview questions and learn more about how to
approach these types of questions:
