Students: Reminder-OCI Deadlines Start Next Week

We wanted to quickly remind you that some major OCI Deadlines occur next week. The Priority Registration Deadline is Wednesday, July 25 at NOON CST and BIDS are due Friday, July 27th at NOON CST, for On-Campus Interviews occurring from August 13th-August 31, 2012 (Sessions 1 and 2).

Employers coming during later sessions have deadlines in August that are noted in The OCI Important Dates and Deadlines Document located on your Symplicity Homepage.Required Steps for OCI Registration/Tab Access:
1. Watch the OCI Orientation Video and complete the related Questionnaire: Please log into Symplicity where under the OCI Announcement Box you will find a link to the video and the required questionnaire.

2. Enter your Conflicts into your Calendar on Symplicity: Conflicts must be entered into the Calendar on Symplicity for ALL Business Days from August 13th to October 15th using the Personal Events Sub-Tab under the Calendar Tab. To express that you are free on a given day to interview all day, you must enter an appointment from 7:00am-8:00am for each of those days that says NO CONFLICTS. Without an entry on your Calendar for each day of OCI, we cannot process your schedule when we are creating interview schedules. PLEASE NOTE: for some students, entries on the Calendar appear to be in the Eastern Time Zone as a default Symplicity setting. We are working with Symplicity to resolve that issue.


3. Have an Approved Resume and then Complete the OCI Registration Form: Located under your Surveys Tab on Symplicity once your resume has been approved by your advisor for the 2012-2013 academic year. If you have a resume question, please email your advisor.
Steps 1 and 2 can be completed at any point so you can work on the resume and other requirements at the same time.

Some Additional Information:
Résumé Collect: Résumé Collects listings are located in the Job Postings section of Symplicity. To find the Résumé Collects you can search Job Postings by typing "Résumé Collect" (the phrase should be enclosed within quotations) into the search box. Additionally, you can select Résumé Collect under the Position Type drop down menu. These deadlines occur throughout the summer.


Participating Employers: Employers continue to register to participate in both the on-campus interview and resume collect portions of OCI. It is important to CONTINUALLY check the Participating Employers List (in the OCI Announcements Box on the Symplicity Homepage) throughout the summer to see employers added as well as any changes to pre-registered employer deadlines.
