Welcome, Students, to the 30th annual Teacher Recruitment Interviews!
MSU Billings Student Union Building

Hosted by Career Services & the College of Education, this is an opportunity to interview for Fall 2010 teaching & counseling jobs with regional and state school districts.

After April 15, check CareerLink(link at left) for a list of districts and openings.  In Community Folder, use "public" for username/password, and view upcoming events; select "Register Now" and "Search" to view participating districts. 

We encourage you to follow these suggestions to enhance your employment success.

Securing Interviews

9:00-Noon + 1:00-4:00

Register at the door. There is no fee to participate. Current students may use CareerLink (link at left) to "drop" résumé and cover letter in advance of event.

Recruiters will be in the Student Union Building; a sign will identify each district, and you will move from table to table as you meet recruiters. (Educators will be at lunch from noon-1:00.)

Selling Yourself

This is important! As you look around, you will see that many other candidates are here for the same reason you are--to get a job.

No one is assured of an interview, so you must be professional and assertive, approaching each school district hiring official with enthusiasm. You will have 5-10 minutes to "sell yourself" and to secure an interview later in the day.

• Meet recruiters confidently--look them in the eye and offer a firm handshake.
• Present your résumé. Be sure to include foreign language skills!
• Be prepared to answer questions; go to Interview Questions for ideas.
• Provide them with reasons to invite you to interview.
• Thank them for their time, and end with a handshake.
• You will not need a copy of your credential file for this interview.
• If employers request them, copies of credential files will be provided after the interviews. 

Other Services

Résumé critiquing is available at the Career Services table. Leave a copy of your résumé and a stamped, self-addressed envelope at the registration table; a professional will review your résumé and mail it back to you.

Credential file packets for MSU Billings students and alumni (both new and updated files) will be available there. You may also complete them electronically. Click here for more info.

Food service is available in the SUB. Plan to park in the parking garage, south of the SUB, just off Poly Drive. You do not need a permit to park there.

Career Services is closed the day of the event but will be open the next business day. We will be glad to help you check which letters of recommendation have arrived or to  answer other questions.
