On Campus Recruiting Program

The On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) program at Iona offers seniors and graduate students the opportunity to interview on-campus for full-time entry-level and internship positions.

Resume Referral Program 

The Resume Referral Program is similar to On-Campus Recruiting in that resumes are collected by Career Development for specific postings. The difference is employers select candidates to interview at their site.

Participation Steps and Details:

1. Attend a Senior Recruiting Orientation to prepare you for your internship/job search.
2. Meet with a Career Advisor to critique your resume. Once approved, upload your resume into GAELlink (select Documents tab).
3. Carefully review On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) and Resume Referral postings to determine if you meet the qualifications before applying.
4. Submit your approved resume to Career Development (via email) for positions based on resume submission deadlines for each company.
5. All resumes received by the designated deadline will be submitted to the company for review.
6. The company will review all resumes and pre-select those candidates who they wish to interview.
7. If you have been pre-selected to interview through the OCR program for a particular company you have applied to, you will receive an email from the Career Development office with a subject line reading “you have been selected and the Company name”. This email will contain all necessary information including the on-campus interview date, location, etc. as well as the deadline to sign up for an interview.
   If you are pre-selected through the Resume Referral Program the company will contact you directly to arrange an interview date.
8. Prepare for the interview process by reviewing the Interview section on our website, and schedule a mock interview with a Career Advisor (Call for an appointment).

 *Important Points for On-Campus Recruiting and Resume Referral Programs:

• Please carefully read all job descriptions and internship descriptions before applying. If you apply and are pre-selected, you are expected to sign up for an interview.
• Once you sign up for an interview time slot, you are making a commitment and are expected to keep the appointment. This time slot will be reserved for you and the recruiter from the company will be expecting to meet with you. Failure to keep the appointment can damage the employer relationship with Iona..
