Interview Request Etiquette

Hello FT MBA Class of 2015,

It is that time of year when MBA internship postings start lighting up under your “Jobs” tab on COOL.  You start applying to roles and sure enough you receive an email “Interview Request” for a particular employer from the BCC….

Since there are quite a few job postings facilitated via the BCC it definitely makes it easier for me to determine final interview schedules when I receive a response from short-listed candidates within a 24 hour period.

Email in the past has seemed to work wonders, as students are most likely checking their emails throughout the day.  Going forward I will call you just once after 24 hours to ensure you have received my interview request email and confirm your acceptance if I have not heard from you.

Just a heads up that some postings have VERY quick turnarounds in regards to interview requests, so it is greatly appreciated in advance if you respond to my email request (marked “High Importance” of course).

I do wish you all the very best in securing some great summer internships, and don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions/concerns going forward during our busy internship season in the months ahead…

Kind regards,

Carly Boettcher, Graduate Careers Assistant
