Interviewing STEPS

Interview Process

Employment verification documents are required to complete the hiring process. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to accept copies of these documents. Those who do not keep these documents with them on campus may wish to obtain them early in the process to avoid delays in beginning a new job.

Note: All student associate interviews will be virtual.
