In today’s fast-moving campus recruitment landscape, it can be difficult to think beyond the next month—let alone plan for next year.

You’d fill out your schedule with a full slate of on-campus, in-person career fairs and recruitment events, relying heavily on specific schools to fill positions. But in 2020, everything changed.

Intern Hell Week: When Summer Programming and Fall Recruitment Planning Overlap
Kate Beckman
When you work as a campus recruiter, you are expected to juggle many responsibilities at once. When I managed the internship program for a Fortune 500 company, I was responsible for both the recruitment cycle and summer programming.
