On-Campus Interviews

Your profile within Nittany Lion Careers is established for you. Sharing your account or submitting resumes on behalf of others is strictly forbidden and will result is dismissal from the OCI program.

Log-in to Nittany Lion Careers and complete your personal and academic profile. Upload your resume and related documents. Once completed, the system will allow you to apply for positions and receive notifications when you have been selected for an interview.

Each employer sets a resume submission deadline prior to their arrival on campus. Deadlines are usually 20 days prior to the employer's scheduled interview date. No resumes for that posting will be accepted after the deadline.

If extenuating circumstances force you to cancel your interview you must decline through Nittany Lion Careers by the posting deadline. Do not only rely on a direct message to the recruiter as they often don't receive them in a timely manner.

If the interview schedule is closed you will need to reach out to your campus or college career office to cancel.

Unprofessional behavior on the part of the individual may result in removal of Nittany Lion Careers privileges. These behaviors include but are not limited to: 

• missing interviews without notifying employers
• reneging on job offers

You will be notified by your campus or college career office with regards to the consequences of your actions. Please contact your campus or college career office for more information.

Arrive at the indicated location 10-15 minutes ahead of your scheduled time. Bring your Penn State ID to check-in at the kiosk.

• If you have any questions, please see the Interview Center Receptionist at the Bank of America Career Services Center.

Students registered for an on-campus parking permit should remain parked in their assigned area, while students without a valid parking permit should park at one of the Commuter lots (Jordan East, Stadium West, Porter North) and pay for hourly parking ($1 per hour) at one of the pay stations located within each lot.

Once parked, students should walk, bike, or use one of the University’s no-fare campus transit services – CATABUS Loop/Link or Campus Shuttle – to travel to the Bank of America Career Services Center. The closest bus/shuttle stop is located along Bigler Road near the Computer Building and is served by the Blue Loop and the Campus Shuttle via College Avenue, as well as a number of CATABUS community service routes that arrive from off campus.
