How will I know who the candidates are?
As the conference date draws near you will be sent a list via e-mail list of candidates registering for the Mid-Atlantic Placement Conference.  These listings will include the candidate’s name, current institution, current position, what type of position they are looking for (graduate or full-time), and their education information (degree, major, date earned).  These will continue to be updated as additional candidates are registered and you will receive a complete list when you arrive at the conference.  Information about candidates who register on-site will be compiled and distributed during the conference for employer review.  There will also be an employer lounge where you will be able to view all of the candidates resumes.

How do I set up interviews with candidates?
You may pre-schedule interviews with candidates, but no pre-screening please.  We ask that pre-scheduled interviews are scheduled for the first day only since many candidates register on-site.  It is important that those candidates have interviewing opportunities.
