The ECS does have an official on-campus recruiting period but does offer interviews outside of this time frame thus students would check on a continual basis. The ECS office offers an orientation seminar for on-campus interviewing. This orientation is offered in the first or second week of each semester and covers such topics as how to register with the office and the bidding process as well as advice on career strategies, selling yourself, networking, plant visits, and second interviews.
Students complete their registration on-line by completing their profile and resume.
Students review the employment descriptions and job requirements on InterviewTRAK to determine the positions of interest and pre-requisite qualifications. Interviews take place in Grainger Engineering Library, the Illini Union guest rooms, the Illini Union conference rooms, or in 203 Engineering Hall. Resource Center includes company literature, videos and company financial reports. On-campus interviewing is available for all three of these areas. The co-op secretary then mails the student information to the companies.
