Campus Interviews

Employers seeking full-time and internship candidates are invited to visit the Rockhurst University campus to conduct interviews in our facility. You may choose between two types of interview schedules – open or pre-select. Open schedules allow all qualifying candidates to select an interview time without going through a pre-screening process. Pre-select schedules allow the employer to prescreen the resumes of interested, qualifying candidates in order to invite specific students to interview.  To schedule a campus interview date, please contact Mike Theobald, 816-501-4861, in Career Services.

Post a Vacancy

Employers can forward your positions to Career Services for student and alumni viewing. Your vacancy will be posted for a minimum of 30 days and can be extended at your request. E-mail your listings to Mike Theobald

Resume Referrals

To request resume referrals from Career Services, simply provide the criteria you desire and our staff will e-mail the resumes to you. To request resumes for co-op, internship, full-time, MBA and/or alumni candidates, contact Mike Theobald at 816-501-4861.

Exposure on Campus

Career Services can work with you to help develop a higher profile for your organization on the Rockhurst University campus. We can set a table for you in high traffic areas on campus. Recommended hours are between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Employers are limited to two (2) visits per semester. Also, we can link you with campus student leaders and organizations. Make a presentation on a career-related topic to a student club or organization, and wrap up with information on your organization. Contact Mike Theobald at 816-501-4861 for more information.

Co-ops / Internships
