Instructions

Registration
The New York Interview Day will be held on January 8th, but you must apply online for interviews by November 18th. Click here to download application instructions.  If you have further questions that are not addressed in the information below, please contact Career Services at 617.627.3299 or stop by Dowling Hall.

Submitting Resumes
You should first review the Employer Job Descriptions on the NYRC ’10 web site and decide whether or not to submit a resume for a particular interview schedule. Employer Job Descriptions, in most cases, provide details about the employer, the position(s) they are recruiting for, and position qualifications. Employers are able to join the Consortium up until the resume submission deadline, so check the web site on a regular basis for new additions. Only apply for interviews if you can reasonably guarantee that you will be able to interview with these employers in New York City on Friday, January 8, 2010.

Application materials need to be uploaded in the Resumes and Documents section of the web site in order for you to submit your applications to employers. Then, if you believe you are qualified, submit all required application materials through the web site by Wednesday, November 18th. Application submissions must include all materials requested by the employer. Incomplete applications will not be submitted by the system.

Preparing an Unofficial Transcript

If the application requirements require the submission of a college transcript, you will need to create an unofficial transcript. Copy and paste your transcript information from SIS Online into a Word document and be sure to include your name. Upload your transcript document into the NYRC '10 web site.

Note: You absolutely MUST NOT alter your grades. Many employers will ask you for an official transcript later. Misrepresentation of any information is cause for revocation of recruiting privileges and disciplinary action by the Dean of Students. Additionally, companies have called Career Services to let us know that offers were rescinded because of false documentation.

Employer-Selected Interviews
Students who were selected for interviews will be notified by e-mail by Thursday, December 3rd.  If you do not receive an e-mail then you were not selected for an interview.  If you were chosen as an alternate, you will be notified on an as-available basis.

Scheduling Interview Times
Once you receive an e-mail notification of the interview(s) for which you have been selected, you may sign up for interviews through the NYRC ’10 web site. Make certain you remember to record the interview date and time in your planner for future reference!

Policies
If you are applying for a position, it is assumed you will accept an interview offer and be able to travel to NYC to interview. Do not apply for any positions where this is not the case. The Tufts Career Services No-Show Policy is in effect for the New York Recruiting Consortium.

You may check the status of your interview applications by clicking on your Events Calendar icon at the top of the page and then scrolling to the bottom and clicking on Interview Status.

Q: How do I find out which employers are participating in NYRC?

A: A list of participating employers and their job descriptions is available through the NYRC ’10 web site. This list is subject to change as we receive updated information from employers. Please refer to the job descriptions regularly prior to the consortium for the most up-to-date information.

Q: How do I submit a resume and cover letter?

A: Application materials are submitted electronically through the NYRC ’10 web site. Please read the employers descriptions carefully for details on the positions available and required application materials. The application deadline is Wednesday, November 18, 2009.

Q: Some of the employers will also be recruiting at Tufts Career Services during on-campus recruiting. If I have submitted a resume to an employer for on-campus recruiting, may I also submit a resume for the New York Recruiting Consortium?

A: If you have already interviewed with an employer or know you will be interviewing on-campus, you should not interview twice. Some of the employers are interviewing for different positions at the New York Recruiting Consortium, so if you are selected to interview for different positions at different times you may go to both interviews. You should also decline an interview if you discover you have been selected by the same employer for the same position more than once.

Q: I’ve just accepted a job offer, but I’ve submitted applications to NYRC. What do I do?

A: If the Resume Submission Deadline has not passed, remove you applications submissions in the NYRC ’10 web site.  Otherwise, please contact us to have your application removed.

Q. If I was not pre-selected for an interview, may I still show up on January 8 to talk to employers?

A. No. Unlike a career fair, this recruiting event is a day of pre-scheduled interviews.
