Recruiting at GW
A Unique Campus Locale
The George Washington University is a diverse institution of higher learning located in the historic Foggy Bottom community, where the city's attractions are never too far away. The State Department, the World Bank, and numerous embassies border campus. We are a short walk to the White House and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a Metro ride to the National Zoo and Arlington National Cemetery, and a quick jaunt to the monuments and Georgetown. One can view artwork at GW's own Dimock Gallery or one of the many other museums nearby. The University fields nationally-ranked, Division I athletic teams. The GW experience puts students in touch with the nation's capital.

On-Campus Recruiting
On-Campus Recruiting serves employers interested in recruiting students for full-time, professional positions following graduation. At GW, we've streamlined the campus interview process by using GWork, a Web-based interview tracking and scheduling system. Participating employers can use this system to post an available position, receive resumes from qualified students, and select those students with whom the employer wishes to meet. Interviews are conducted here in the Career Center.
We continue to offer 100% pre-selection, which allows employers to identify those candidates who best fit their needs.
Interviews are generally scheduled in 30-minute intervals, permitting up to 12 student interviews in one day.
The On-Campus Recruiting Program is free and runs during the fall semester from September through November, and during the spring semester from February through April. Employers should make arrangements to participate at least six weeks prior to the preferred interview date.
Occasionally, employers may wish to interview students at their company site. These employers can utilize our Resume Collection Program. Student resumes are collected and forwarded to employers, who then contact students directly to schedule an on-site interview.
The Career Center staff can assist employers who wish to coordinate an Information Session prior to interviews to familiarize students with the organization and the positions available. These sessions may be open to just those students selected to interview, or to a larger student population. At the employer's request, the Career Center staff will reserve a room for the presentation and make arrangements for any refreshments and audio-visual equipment required.
Contact the Employer Relations staff at 202.994.8633 or e-mail ocr@gwu.edu for further information about the above services, or check out our Frequently Asked Questions section.
