On-Campus Interviews (OCIs) occur every Fall and Spring semester in the Office of Career Services. They begin when an employer contacts Career Services expressing an interest in conducting interviews here at Southeastern for students and alumni looking for full-time careers. 

Employers will notify us thirty to sixty days in advance of the date they would like to conduct their interviews. Career Services posts the interview information in Handshake and on the OCI Schedule webpage (see below). We also promote interviews via fliers posted around campus, emails to students, and through informing appropriate faculty about the opportunities available.

The entire On-Campus Interview sign up process occurs in Handshake.

Student or alumni cancellations and no-shows are not acceptable and are not tolerated. By signing up for an on-campus interview, you have made a commitment with the employer, Career Services, and yourself; and, more importantly, you have made it impossible for others to interview in your place. Not following through with that commitment is a poor reflection on you, our office, and the University. Therefore, the Office of Career Services maintains a “no excuses” and “zero tolerance” policy

If you call to cancel your interview three days or less prior to the interview date or no-show, you will NOT be allowed to utilize Career Services again until you have met with one of Career Services’ professional staff regarding your absence. Further, without a documented and legitimate excuse, as determined by CS Staff, your privilege to use our services may be revoked indefinitely or permanently.

If for some reason you ABSOLUTELY cannot attend the interview, it is your responsibility to call our office at (985) 549-2121 to cancel your interview and be prepared to communicate why you are withdrawing your application.
