On-Campus Interviews
Each year hundreds of companies and organizations come to Cal Poly to interview for internships, co-ops and career positions.
You may begin applying for interviews through MustangJobs on the first day of classes during Fall, Winter and Spring Quarters.
24 Hour Cancellation
You may schedule, reschedule or cancel interview appointments via MustangJobs up until two business calendar days before your interview date. If you must cancel your interview less than 24 hours in advance, you must notify us at 805-756-2501. It is recommended that you make every effort to attend your scheduled interview, as employers are taking time out of their busy schedules to interview you.
Student Interview Room Reservations
Career Services has four designated private interview rooms for students to reserve for phone and video interviews. These rooms can be reserved 7 days in advance and are available between 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. for students who need a quiet, professional space to conduct interviews. If you need access to technology for your video interview, please contact our Recruiting Office at cs-recruiting@calpoly.edu or (805) 756-2501.
