Recruitment Options at Gonzaga University
Career & Professional Development facilitates two types of on-campus interviews, organized through our online career management services site, ZagsIgnite:
- Pre-select scheduling allows you to preview (or "pre-select") résumés in advance, and then select candidates to be interviewed. Please schedule 6 weeks in advance.
- Open Scheduling allows students to sign-up for interview time slots, according to specified criteria, with no previewing option. This is the more common type of interview schedule. Please schedule 4 weeks in advance.
On-campus Interviews are held during the fall and spring semesters.
Career & Professional Development coordinates several career fairs, primarily in the fall semester (although our largest career fair takes place in the spring), every year. Fairs include:
- the Accounting Career Fair (in partnership with the Accounting Honor Society, Beta Alpha Psi),
- the All Majors Career & Internship Fair,
- the Engineering & Computer Science Career & Internship Fair,
- the Undergraduate Nursing Career Fair,
- the Post-Grad Service Career Fair (in partnership with the Center for Community Engagement), and
- the FUSE Career Fair (in partnership with Eastern Washington University, Whitworth University, and WSU - Spokane).
We also coordinate two career fairs in tandem with our Treks in January. Those are:
- the Portland Trek Career Fair
- the Seattle Trek Career Fair
Registration for the fairs is available through ZagsIgnite. Please note that some fairs may not be open for registration until the applicable semester. For questions about the schedule and registration, please feel free to reach out to us.
Career & Professional Development conducts mock interview events for students and alumni one to two times per year, typically prior to career fairs. These events provide an opportunity for students to polish their interviewing and networking skills, and employers to meet with and help students. If you would like to participate in the Speed Mock Interviews, call Career & Professional Development at (509) 313-4234.
Information Sessions can be scheduled weekdays in fall and spring semesters. An information session is an opportunity to provide an overview of your organization to available students during the selected time. Refreshments are welcome, and on-campus food service options are available through Sodexo. Call Career & Professional Development at (509) 313-4234 to schedule.
