Important Interview Requirements

If you apply for any positions with on-campus interviews during Super Week, you must be in Austin on the designated interview date(s) and able to interview on campus. If you are unable to physically attend the interview on the interview date(s) for any reason (i.e. vacation, LeaderShape, out of the country, etc.), then you are not eligible for that position. No exceptions will be made or alternate arrangements allowed.

Pay close attention to the job description in OCR. Second-round interview dates, locations, and other pertinent information for each position will be included, when available. Other companies may conduct second-round interviews starting on Jan. 10 (off-campus). For any second-round interviews, you must go to company's designated location (i.e. company office in Houston, NYC, Austin, etc.) on the designated interview date(s).

Be mindful of back-to-back interviews and plan in advance regarding your overall interview schedule. Advance planning and strategy will help ensure that you are well prepared for your interviews.

Application and Interview Deadlines

Due to the unique timing of Super Week, many important deadlines will happen during finals and close to the start of winter break. Plan ahead and apply early to ensure that your resume is given full consideration. It is extremely important that you add the application and interview dates to your calendar. Pay attention to each job posting and keep track of important information about each position. You don't want to miss these important deadlines! 

First and Second Round Interviews

First round on-campus interviews will be held Monday, January 7 through Wednesday, January 9. Please be aware that the OCR system will allow students to sign-up for a maximum of 12 first-round interviews during Super Week, Jan 7-9. Expect second round interviews to be held off-campus Jan. 10-13, with a short notification period. Please note that some companies may not plan to host any interviews beyond the first round of interviews. Check each job description in OCR for the second round interview date, location, and other information under the "Interview Date(s)" heading.

Interview Sign-Ups and Application Status

The last day of resume submission for Super Week is Nov. 26. Be sure to check each job posting in OCR as exact deadlines will vary by position. Please be aware that interview sign-ups will take place during finals. It is extremely important that you regularly check your email and stay aware of your application status in OCR. Remember that if you fail to attend a scheduled interview, you will be blocked from OCR.
