Matching: Students select the time slot of their choice, labeled as the industry each employer chooses when they register. This allows for more relevant matching between students and industry partners.

How Students Sign Up: Viterbi students pre-register for the event using a scheduling system where Viterbi Career Connections labels time slots with the industry and time,  and then students self-select the timeslot. There is a 10-minute buffer between each time slot, to allow for closing conversation and interviewers break.

For example, if NVIDIA signs up for 3 representatives from 10-12 with the industry as " High Tech/Communications" the system will show students:

• 10 – 10:20 am : High Tech/Communications
• 10 – 10:20 am High Tech/Communications
• 10 – 10:20 am: High Tech/Communications
• 10:30 - 10:50 am: High Tech/Communications
• 10:30 - 10:50 am: High Tech/Communications
• 10:30 - 10:50 am: High Tech/Communications

..and so on. As students sign up, the slots show as “filled".
