Introducing Recruiting Round Up

The STARR Career Development Center (SCDC) offers a variety of services to students. One of the most buzzed-about services that we offer is our On-Campus Recruiting Program. On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) refers to employers, from various companies, coming to campus to recruit young professionals for either internship or full-time positions. In addition to holding first round interviews at the SCDC’s offices, employers typically come to campus for presentations, recruiter-in-residence events, and other guest speaking events.

While On-Campus Recruiting is a wonderful component of the SCDC’s services, learning how to navigate the recruiting process can take some education. As a result, we decided to create a new category of articles on Starrlights that would address the challenges and opportunities that often arise around OCR and job searching in general.
