[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On campus recruiting. It’s a fairly formal process where students drop their resumes and firms fly out teams of people to conduct interviews on campus. (For example, when I was in college, all the banks interviewed over a week or two. So you would see students in class in suits as they had interviews in between classes.)

Top candidates are then flown to the home office for a second round of interviews, typically lasting a day. Successful candidates then get an offer whether it’s for an internship or a Ft job.

In some industries (banking, consulting, law), you have to get the summer internship to get the job. It’s nearly impossible to just interview in your last year as nearly all spots have been filled.  [/quote]

My top school but not ivy did not have this in the 90s. Or if it happened, it wasn't widely publicized. No one wearing suits in class or anything. I don't remember seeing anyone in a suit on my campus in four years.  [/quote]

Then your top school wasn’t top enough for companies to recruit at. [/quote]

Or it could have meant that “it wasn’t widely publicized “.  If by 90’s the PP means the times before every student had internet, finding out might have meant seeing a flyer on the bulletin board in the Econ/Policy department.  If that wasn’t your major, or your professor didn’t announce it,  or you passed by the bulletin board before the flyer went up, you were sool.  [/quote]
 
On campus recruiting was a major event at campuses. You couldn’t miss it. It wasn’t a flyer on a board, there were banners, big career fairs, speakers, and students walking around in suits. That poster’s school just wasn’t top enough. [/quote]
