Interviewing details

Senior Pharm.D. students are being released from their scheduled rotations on the Career Day specifically to participate. With that in mind, we encourage you to arrange formal student interviews for that day. The students will receive a list of companies who are interviewing in advance of the event and will have the opportunity to sign up for interview times from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Companies who have registered will then be notified via e-mail regarding scheduled interviews for Career Day. Due to very limited space, on-site interviews will be scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Therefore, we recommend submitting your registration as soon as possible to ensure an optimum number of interview opportunities. Once our available meeting room space is exhausted, no further vendor registrations will be accepted.
