Interview Dates

Full-time on-campus interviewing begins on Monday, October 5, 2020 and continues throughout the academic year, with the exception of the blackout dates outlined in the MBA Recruiting Calendar.

Interviewing of the first-year class begins on Thursday, January 7, 2021, at the start of our Focused Recruiting Period (FRP). After FRP, first-year interviewing continues on Fridays throughout the academic year. Intern interviews can also be held off campus in Philadelphia, Monday-Thursday from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm. MBA Career Management encourages companies to conduct second-round interviews in Philadelphia hotels or local offices. For a full list of recruiting dates please refer to the MBA Recruiting Calendar.

Scheduling

CareerPath, our free online recruiting system, allows maximum flexibility and convenience in managing your interview process. CareerPath scheduling features include:

  • Break and lunch automatically populated
  • Four time-slot options: 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes
  • Back-to-back interview option: The system allows you to split an interview block in half, so the candidate sees two interviewers from your company, one right after the other
  • Flexible timing: Schedules generally run 8:30am – 5:00pm but can be adjusted based on travel or other interviewer needs

Walk-In Interviews

If your schedule allows, our walk-in process enables you to consider additional candidates on the day of the interview. While it is at the company’s discretion to allow walk-in interviews, we strongly encourage the practice because it allows companies to fill open slots with interested students. If you do not want to participate in the walk-in process, please contact your Recruiting Relationship Manager at least two business days prior to the scheduled on-campus interview date.
