On-Campus Recruitment
Through On-Campus Recruitment (OCR), companies come to campus in the Fall term (September-October) and in the Winter term (January-February) to actively recruit 苹果淫院 Engineering students who will be graduating in the following fall or spring. Summer positions are also available through OCR and are normally offered in the winter semester for students returning to their studies full-time in the Fall term. OCR tends to be very competitive, so preparation and persistence are key. Here are some guidelines to help maximize your chances of success:

Event details are available on .
