I go to a school on the other side of the country from one of my target markets. After bombing that market over the last few weeks with my materials, I recently followed up to let the firms know that I will be in town for a few days at the end of July. A couple of firms left messages today saying that they could interview me on such and such dates.
Here is my question: are these interviews going to be more like a 30 minute screener or a half day callback? Obviously I can ask the firm recruiter, but I wanted to see if there is a consensus first to avoid sounding like a dumbass. Especially interested in input from people who obtained interviews from mailers in the past.

Re: Interview Question
Ask the recruiter when to show up and how long the interview is supposed to last. If she says thirty minutes, it's a screener. If she says a few hours, it's a callback.Anonymous User wrote:I go to a school on the other side of the country from one of my target markets.
