Job Descriptions
Full-time job descriptions must be uploaded to COIN one month before the application due date.
Application Due Dates
For all positions for which companies will recruit on
campus, applications must be solicited through COIN. Companies may
require additional means of application if they wish. Application deadlines
generally default to 9 a.m. (eastern time, unless
otherwise specified) one week before the invitation-list due date. The earliest
application due date is September 15.
Interview Guidelines
- On-campus first-round interviews for full-time positions will begin
on Wednesday, October 15, 2008, and continue
through April 22, 2009.- The first three interview days are reserved for firms in the investment banking industry only.
- All industries may conduct 1st round interviews beginning Monday, October 20.
- Off-campus first round interviews may be scheduled:
- Tuesday, October 21 for non-Investment Banking industries.
- Fridays beginning on October 24, 2008 for all industries.
Recruiters must advise the Career Mangement Center of plans to hold off-campus first round interviews so that interview days are not overbooked.
- Second round interviews for full-time positions may begin after 5:30 PM EDT on Friday, October 17, 2008 and continue daily. Students must be offered at least one alternative day for second round interviews.
- Students may not miss academic commitments in order to interview. Some second-year students may have exams between October 15-21, which must be accommodated.
- Companies choosing to interview students on Friday evenings or Saturdays must be prepared to accommodate students who request an alternative date for religious reasons.
Interview Blackout Periods
During the following periods, firms should not offer formal interview schedules; however, individual students may be interviewed if arrangements do not conflict with personal or academic commitments:
- November 24–30, 2008 (Thanksgiving week)
- December 4–17, 2008 (final exams)
- December 18, 2008–January 30, 2009 (winter break and study tours)
- March 4–15, 2009 (midterm exams and spring break)
- April 23–May 6, 2009 (final exams)
Offers
- Offers may be extended after 5:30 PM EDT on Tuesday, October 21, 2008. Firms may not invite students to sell days or other post-interview events until after offers are extended.
- Offers must remain open until December 31, 2008 or for a minimum of four weeks, whichever is later. Offers extended after February 2, 2009 must remain open for a minimum of two weeks.
- The fundamental compensation terms of an offer must remain unchanged until the expiration date, although incentives encouraging students to commit before the deadline are permitted, so long as they are small relative to the overall value of the offer.
- Hiring organizations should inform students of their status and/or timeline for decisions within two weeks of their interviews.
Offers to Former Summer Interns
Full-time offers to students who completed summer internships at your company must be held open until November 7, 2008 or for four weeks, whichever is later.
Pre-interview Dinners & Sell Days
Pre-interview dinners are generally not allowed. Exceptions may be made for companies outside the tri-state area. Please consult Natalie Rios or your account manager about your company's circumstances.
Sell Days should never conflict with academic commitments and are therefore best held on Fridays or Saturdays. Additionally, firms may not invite students to sell days or other post interview events until after offers are extended.
