Job Descriptions
Internship 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. For interviews occurring on January 12–16, application due dates will be determined by the Career Management Center.
Interview Guidelines
- First round interviews for internship positions:
- Begin on Monday, January 12, 2009 and continue through April 22, 2009.
- The first three days are reserved for on-campus first-round interviews with firms in the investment banking industry.
- Off-campus first round interviews may be scheduled:
- Friday, January 16 for non-Investment Banking Industries.
- Tuesday, January 20 for any industry.
- Fridays beginning on January 23, 2009 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 internship positions may begin after 5:30 PM EST on Wednesday, January 14, 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.
- Companies choosing to interview students on Fridays 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 interview schedules; however, individual students may be interviewed if arrangements do not conflict with personal academic schedules:
- 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 EST on Friday, January 16, 2009. Firms may not invite students to sell days or other post-interview events until after offers are extended.
- Offers must remain open until February 16, 2009 or for two weeks from the offer date, whichever is later.
- Hiring organizations should inform students of their status and/or timeline for decisions within two weeks of their interviews.
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.
