On-Campus Interviews

So you’ve been invited to interview on campus…

Congratulations! Every invitation to interview REQUIRES a response. You must either sign up for an interview time or decline the invitation in Nittany Lion Careers. Not responding is unprofessional and negatively impacts other students.

Important - All students are expected to read and adhere to the Penn State Abington No-Show Policy.

Log into Nittany Lion Careers (NLC)

If you have never used NLC, the following steps must happen in NLC BEFORE you can choose an interview time:

Update your personal and academic profile in the My Account section

Upload a résumé in the Documents section

Document is approved in NLC by career center staff (approvals occur during regular business hours)

Select an Available Interview Time

When you have a profile and an approved resume in NLC, you can sign up for your interview time:

Nittany Lion Careers > Interviews menu > Requested Interviews > Position Title

Choose an available interview time (available on a first-come basis). If the only available interview times occur during a class, you should reach out to your instructors to discuss your options for missing class time.

YOU CANNOT CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR INTERVIEW TIME IN NITTANY LION CAREERS

If you need to change or cancel your interview time: [email protected] or 215.881.7529. Cancellations are only allowed in true emergency situations.

An invitation to interview is an opportunity and should rarely be declined. If you must decline, log into Nittany Lion Careers:

Interviews menu - Requested Interviews
Click on the three dots next to the position title
Choose Decline Interview

If you have the recruiter’s email address, send a professional but brief email to express your gratitude for the invitation and explain the reason for declining.
