Additionally, we hope you are now comfortable using the NYU CareerNet and NYU InterviewNet systems. Our intention is to streamline the ease with which you may review and manage your application process. Take the next few minutes to familiarize yourself with the bidding process and email the recruitment team at recruitment@nyu.edu if you have any questions this guide does not answer.

Also, you will find a helpful bidding tutorial located in your NYU CareerNet account under the Announcements section.

Good Luck!

Bidding (for Class of 2009 Full-Time OCR only)

What is Bidding?

If you do not submit your resume during the allotted submission period, or if you submit your resume and are not selected to interview, you may still bid for an interview as long as you meet the requirements of the position. Bidding is similar to an auction, where the highest bidder is more likely to win a chance to sign up for an interview. You are allotted the following number of bids each semester:

Once a student wins a bid, that particular bid is used up (e.g., if you use one Level 3 bid and win your bid, then only one Level 3 bid remains). Those students who do not win the bid are returned their bids. Bids are issued each semester and are not carried over into subsequent semesters.

Submitting a Bid

1. Log onto NYU CareerNet.
2. Click Jobs.
3. Select All NYU InterviewNet Jobs from Show Me drop down menu.
4. Click Search
5. Select the job title of the position with which you would like to place a bid.
6. Make specific note of the Interivew Information and Interview Dates to determine:
   1. if you meet the interview requirements (located under Position Information).
   2. when you may begin submitting bids (located under Schedule Details).

   NOTE: You will not be able to submit a bid if you do not meet the employer’s screening criteria.

8. Select the bid level you would like to attach to your submission.

Retracting/Changing a Bid

   NOTE: Stopping at Step 2 will retract your bid and you will not be considered for the position.

3. To change your bid, please follow the steps described above under "Submitting a Bid".

Reviewing Bids & Signing Up for Interviews

To find out what other bids you have submitted, select the "Interview Requests" tab under Interviews. If your bid has been accepted, the status line will read Bid Won! to indicate which interview(s) you have won.

Remember to view your bid results regularly and sign-up (if applicable) during the bidding signup period.

Note: If you win an interview through the bidding process, you will not get that bid back regardless of whether you signed up for an interview. If your bid is not accepted, you will receive your bid point back to be used for other positions.
