Campus Recruiting FAQ’s
Q. Where do you recruit? How
do I find out if you are visiting my campus?
A. Medtronic recruits at several national
and regional campuses across the country. Schools we visit
for company-wide hiring needs are listed below. Please see our
recruiting calendar by clicking on the links listed
below. If
your school is not listed, contact your school’s career
services office to find out if one or more of our many facilities/locations
is scheduled to visit your campus.
Q. I applied to a Medtronic position through our
campus career services but wasn’t selected to interview. What
options do I have?
A. You are eligible for other opportunities within Medtronic
and are welcome to apply for any of the positions posted on Medtronic’s
web site.
Q. I have already graduated
and am interested in a position in the “College Programs” category of your website. Can
I apply?
A. Because the positions found
in the “College Programs” category
are intended for current students, you should monitor our website
and apply directly for other positions posted which match your
interests, experience and expertise.
Q. Does Medtronic
offer informational interviews?
A. Medtronic does not
offer informational interviews. The company receives hundreds
of requests for informational interviews each month. As a result,
we encourage candidates who would like more information about
Medtronic, our products and the types of positions available,
to review information included on our website at www.medtronic.com.
The interview process at Medtronic begins with the match of the
skills identified on an applicant's resume to the requirements
for a current job opening.
Q. Does Medtronic offer internships?
A. Each year Medtronic offers
a limited number of summer internship opportunities primarily
in the areas of computer science, electrical
engineering, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering marketing, finance, and
human resources depending on identified
departmental needs. Due to the nature of our industry and
the complexity of our business, the majority of these roles are
filled through structured campus recruiting programs at some
of the top MBA and engineering schools across the nation. Check
with the career services at your school to see if any Medtronic
locations will be visiting your campus, and continue to monitor
our website for internship postings. If you are
selected for an interview, you will be contacted.
Q. Will you sponsor foreign students?
A. We do not discriminate based
on citizenship, and look for the best and brightest to fill our
positions. Sponsorship
of a new hire’s visa is not guaranteed; we address this
on an individual basis once employment offers are extended.
Q. Why won’t you take my paper resume?
A. Medtronic no longer accepts
paper resumes. If you are interested in interviewing on campus,
please apply online through your school’s career services
office. Additional opportunities can be found in the job opportunities
section of this website.
