Please keep the following in mind for on-site interviews:

• Interviews will be held at the Undergraduate Program Office and Interview Center, 3290 Grainger Hall, 975 University Avenue, Madison, WI 53706
• Check-in begins at 7:45 a.m. Upon arrival, we will provide a packet containing the interview schedule and student resumes.
• Between interviews, you can relax, get caught up on work, or meet with UW staff in our Recruiter Lounges, which are equipped with computers, a printer, and refreshments.
• Lunch is scheduled between 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. unless you indicate otherwise in Handshake when requesting your schedule. For your convenience, the Capital Cafe is located on the first floor of Grainger Hall, and a list of nearby restaurants is available in the Recruiter Lounge in the Dining Guide Book.
• Some recruiting teams prefer to reserve a lunchroom for their use in Grainger Hall. To request a private lunchroom, please contact Grainger Hall Event Services at 608-262-8679, or graingerevents@wsb.wisc.edu, in advance of your arrival. Lunch orders will incur a room charge, and must be ordered through Grainger Hall Event Services within five working days of the interview date.
• If your team will be driving to campus and requires parking for your on-campus interview, please let your representative on the Employer Engagement Team know as soon as possible.

If you’d prefer to conduct a remote interview, you can use Handshake to reserve an interview room along with phone or Web-based video interviews (Skype, Google Hangouts, etc.), just as you would for an in-person visit.

Tip: You are encouraged to avoid scheduling first-round interviews on Fridays. However, for second-round interviews, Fridays are preferred.

BBA Job Shadow Experience

Are you interested in connecting with first- and second-year BBA students to promote your company and career opportunities? Do you offer a job shadow program or are you interested in hosting BBA students for a day? Host a BBA Job Shadow Experience!

For the job shadow experience, we use Handshake as our recruiting system, giving you the freedom to promote job shadow experiences year-round to our students. No strict timelines, no matching process! Here is how it works:

1. Post your shadow day experience in Handshake:
1. Post a Job
2. Position Type: Experiential Learning
3. Posting Title: BBA Job Shadow
   1. Company Name
   2. Functional Area
2. Please ensure the words “job shadow” are in the title of the experience. This will help students find the opportunity most readily.
3. As students apply for your experience, you may screen and select candidates as you would for other career opportunities.
4. Select your participants and confirm all shadow-related details with confirmed participants, including any related cost coverage, preparatory materials, or other important details.
5. Complete our BBA Career Services Experiential Learning Survey which will be provided to employer partners at the end of each academic year.
