Career Advancement Center events offering exposure to employers include Executive Career Coaching, resume reviews, information sessions, mock interviews, Graduate Career Fair, Career EXPO and Panthers Immersion Programs.
Appointments with Recruiters
Failure to appear for a scheduled interview or an information session you have RSVPed to attend is a discourtesy that recruiters and the Robinson Career Advancement Center take very seriously. A significant number of no-shows may result in recruiters not returning to campus and permanently affect future Robinson College of Business students seeking employment.
If you are unable to attend an interview or information session, you must cancel the interview through Handshake by 12 noon, two business days prior to the scheduled event.
Appointments with CAC Staff
You are expected to show up for scheduled phone or in-person appointments on time. If you need to reschedule, please do so at least 24 hours prior to the appointment by contacting our staff via email (using your GSU student email address).
