Reserve a Private Student Interview Room
Career Services has designated private interview rooms for students to reserve for phone and video interviews. Interview rooms are located in our department, in Building 124. 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.

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 Cancelation
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.
