Resume Collections
If your organization is unable to participate in our virtual interview program, we encourage you to register for a resume collection instead. The registration process for a resume collection is similar to OCI schedule registration in Symplicity.
Students submit resumes & transcripts to employers of their choosing and the application results are released to employers at the beginning of the corresponding program.
