Registering for On-Campus Recruiting

We manage our on-campus recruiting through the InterviewTRAK feature of CornellTRAK. InterviewTRAK gives you 24-hour, on-line access to job postings and recruiting information. In order to use InterviewTRAK you'll need to register with CornellTRAK and complete a "Career Interest Profile," following the specific directions below.

Instructions for Registering with InterviewTRAK 

  • Click on the CornellTRAK login at the right side of this page, or at the bottom of the CCS homepage.
  • Scroll down and click on the ?On-Campus Recruiting Policy? link.
  • After reading the policy, return to the InterviewTRAK login page.
  • Enter your Cornell ID to validate that you are a student at Cornell University.

You will now be prompted to complete a ?Career Interest Profile? by filling in information to pre-set questions. It is important to complete all the information accurately. (Note: This profile can not be viewed by employers.)

Using the InterviewTRAK System

  • Once you have registered you can upload up to 50 different versions of your resume by using the ?Resume? link on the CornellTRAK main menu.  
  • You can view the listed job descriptions of organizations that will be visiting campus and submit your resume and cover letter to those you are interested in and for which you meet the qualifications.
  • You can also view a listing of presentations/info sessions that are being held by employers by doing a search utilizing the ?Presentation? box on the InterviewTRAK menu.
  • You can access and keep track of your status by reviewing the personal data box located on the InterviewTRAK menu. This segment will provide you with a listing of the organizations you have applied to, and your status for each position.
  • If you need to cancel an interview you must give 24 hours notice to the office which is hosting the interview. Make sure you are aware of the On-Campus Recruiting Policy.

Tips and Hints

  • Remember when entering your login information that it is case sensitive.
  • If the Cornell server goes down you can access InterviewTRAK by going into www.monstertrak.com.
  • Check the system regularly to see if you have been chosen as a preselect or alternate.  Employers do not always notify students of their status.
  • If you decide to change a resume, never select ?delete," or you will delete all versions of your resume, including those waiting to be downloaded by employers. Use the ?update/replace? command.
  • Make sure to read the employer description and directions carefully, as many times they direct you to complete an on-line application or other form(s) to be submitted via the employer site or on InterviewTRAK.
  • If you have any questions regarding on-campus recruiting you should contact a career services office for assistance.

How to Prepare an Unofficial Transcript

  • On ?Bear Access," click on ?Student Services? folder.
  • Click on ?JTF? folder (aka Just The Facts).
  • Enter your net id and password.
  • Click on ?grades? on left-side bar.
  • Note: If side bar is not bolded, press ?Continue? at the bottom of your screen; then click on Grades again.
  • Select ?All Grades.?
  • Copy and paste your grades into a Microsoft Word document and save it.  This is not an official transcript. Note: Make sure you check over the document carefully, as you may need to reformat the information to fit on the page properly.
  • Note: You absolutely MUST NOT alter your grades. Many employers will ask you for an official transcript later. Falsifying any information you submit for on-campus recruiting is grounds for disqualification from access to Cornell University services, including on-campus recruiting. Additionally, companies have called us to let us know that offers were rescinded because of false documentation.
  • Upload your transcript document into InterviewTRAK.
