Interview Rooms

Many employers and graduate programs are moving to online interviews in lieu of in-person interviews, which can be costly.  If you have scheduled an interview with an employer or graduate school and are looking for a quiet, private room to conduct the interview, Career & Professional Development can help. We have several interview rooms available to book Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), after 8:30 a.m. but ending before 4:30 p.m.

Click HERE to book an interview room in the Career & Professional Development suite on the first floor of Crosby. You will be prompted to provide the following information:

Select either 1 hour or 2 hours depending on your time needs.

  • The scheduling program automatically adds a 15-minute time buffer before your start time and end time (i.e. if you book an interview room from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., the room will be held from 9:45 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.)
  • If your interview is longer than two hours, please contact CPD at 509.313.4234 to discuss your interview room needs.

Select the day and time of your interview.

  • If no rooms or time slots are available, no available options will appear.

Enter your Name, Gonzaga Email Address, the employer or organization you are interviewing with, and your GU student ID.

Please arrive 15 minutes before your interview to get situated in your booked room and vacate the interview room once your interview has ended.
