Request an Interview Schedule

• Step 1: Request your schedule through Handshake - go to  "Interviews" from the left navigation menu (under the Meet section) and then click on "Request Interview Schedule" towards the top right.
  • Request your schedule at least 2 weeks in advance, so students have time to apply. If you need to request a schedule with 2 days or less notice, please call 319-335-1023 before requesting on Handshake.
  • Your interview schedule request will be reviewed within 2 business days.
  • Our typical offices hours are 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Please let us know if you are going to need to check-in early or stay later (you can also indicate this in the description when requesting the schedule).
  • For more details, see the Handshake Help Center Article: How to Post an Interview Schedule to a School
• Step 2: If your interviews will be virtual, be sure to indicate this in the title of the schedule and in the description. Example: University of Iowa Finance Interviews–VIRTUAL
• Step 3:  Post your jobs and add any additional information needed such as method of contact (web platform link) if your interviews will be virtual.
• Step 4: You will be notified when your schedule has been approved. Market your event! Take advantage of the many great opportunities to connect with students.
• Step 5: The Career Center will reach out after the interviews to confirm the number of students who participated, as well as any no-shows or cancellations.

Before posting, review our guidelines and policies.

Day of Interviews

• Check-in at the main reception desk of the Pomerantz Career Center (C310, 3^rd floor).
• Employers will receive an email one week prior to interviews that will include parking/directions. If you haven't received this email, please contact us at careercenter@uiowa.edu
• Parking and directions can also be found here.

Student Group Reservations

Student groups wishing to reserve interview space in the Career Center should email careercenter@uiowa.edu with the dates, number of rooms and type of rooms needed (interview or conference).

Policies:

• The Pomerantz Career Center is open from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. We ask that interviews take place between those hours. Ideally, interviews will start at 8:30 a.m. and the last interview will start at 4 p.m. Please let us know if you need access to the interview space prior to 8 a.m.
• Interview groups should only access front entrance doors—not the back doors, as those require swipe access.
• We ask that you please keep the interview rooms as tidy as possible. Please push chairs back in and empty trash (there are bins in the main waiting room).
• There may be other interviewers/interviewees or full-time staff using the space, so please keep the noise to a minimum. If you need to have a group discussion, please close the office door.
• Reach out to sherry-rhinehart@uiowa.edu if you have any questions regarding interview day expectations or if you have any special requests, such as conference room space, etc.
