HOW DO I SIGN-UP FOR INTERVIEWS AT THE SPRING CAREER FAIR?
Those who have signed and returned a Consent to Disclose Information form, completed their profiles, and uploaded their resume online will be able to sign-up online through Hire-a-Hornet. For those not wanting to pre-schedule interviews, you may sign up in the morning at the employers table. Career Services computer lab is available for your use to complete your profile and resume if you do not have other access to the internet.  Non-ESU students or ESU students not registered, may sign up for interviews in person the morning of the Career Fair.

Cancelling an interview: If it is necessary for you to cancel an interview, cancel it as soon as possible to open up that slot for another person to sign up.

Remember: If you sign up for back-to-back interviews, you will need to exit your first interview in a timely manner so as not to arrive late at your second interview. If you are late, the recruiter may cancel your interview.
