TartanTRAK Secrets Revealed

Lauren Blair, Recruiting Coordinator/Employer Liaison

What is TartanTRAK?

You will use the TartanTRAK system to:

• Submit your resume to companies who are visiting your campus to hire students/alumni.
• Sign up for interviews.
• Find out about on-campus presentations, information sessions, and group meetings.
• Keep track of the resumes you have submitted on InterviewTRAK, interviews you have signed up for, and other information.

Preselect Interviews

To participate in a Preselect interview you must first submit a resume to the company, which is reviewed by the recruiter. If they would like to interview you then they will preselect you on InterviewTRAK. If you are preselected, you can begin signing up on a certain date. In some cases, the employer may choose a separate list of alternates; alternate sign-up usually begins after the Preselect sign-up begins. This means that the interview time slots may be full before you have a chance to sign up. (** If the interview is full then see your career center or email the employer directly.)

DON'T ASSUME that simply because you have created a resume on TartanTRAK that employers are able to search by keyword. You MUST submit your resume to each interview you'd like to be considered for. Here's how:

• Go to TartanTRAK, Recruiting: On Campus
• Search by date range (mm/dd/yyyy) to pull up a list of on-campus interviews. Use the pull-down menu to choose what dates you want to search (interview date, resume submission deadline, open sign-up deadline). You may also search by partial company name.
• If you want more search options to choose from then click on the More search options available link. On this menu you can search by any or all of the following:
  • Event Type
  • Event Location
  • Degree
  • Industry
  • Job Location
  • Job Type
  • Major
• During the resume drop date range, click on [Submit Resume] in the center of the page.
• Choose the resume you want to submit and click on [Submit Resume].

Signing Up for Interviews

If you are preselected or chosen as an alternate for an interview, you may receive an email from the employer. Do not rely on being contacted by the company. Instead check on your preselect or alternate status by going to the InterviewTRAK Main Menu.

• Use the Display personal dates menu option that reads, "Events I am preselected or an alternate for" and click on [Display Dates].
• Make note of the Signup Date Range associated with the interview that you are preselected or chosen as an alternate for.
• During that date range, click on the gray ID# to the left-hand side of the interview information.
• On the Recruiting Description page, click on [Sign up for this Interview].
• Click on the radio-button next to the desired time slot.
• Click on [Sign Up]. You will be taken to a Success page. (**You may want to print this page out for your records.)

To Search for Presentations:

Use this search to find out about upcoming presentations, information sessions, workshops, orientations and more.

• Enter a date range (mm/dd/yyyy).
• Click on [Search Presentations].

Note: If a presentation is associated with a particular interview then you may be able to link to the presentation information from Interview Information table on the Recruiting Description page.
