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.

Career Services has designated private interview rooms for students to reserve for phone and video interviews. Please note that during the temporary closure of Building 124 two alternate locations are currently available for student interview room reservations: Building 70 Room 109A and Building 172H Room 128. These rooms can be reserved 7 days in advance and are available between 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. for students who need a quiet, professional space to conduct interviews. If you additional assistance, please contact our Recruiting Office at cs-recruiting@calpoly.edu or (805) 756-2501.
