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.
