QUIC Certification

Resume examples are available via the Office of Career Management (OCM) website. If you would like assistance, stop by 150 Gerlach Hall to meet with a Peer Career Coach during drop-in hours or make an appointment with a Career Consultant through Handshake.

Go to the Office of Career Management (OCM) website and click on Handshake. Log in using your OSU name.# and OSU password. Complete your Handshake profile and upload your resume. The more completed your profile, the easier it is for employers to view your information. A completed Handshake profile should include the following:

1. A professional profile picture
2. Specify your school year (Freshman-Senior)
3. Work Experience (at least one- if you do not have formal work experience, please put volunteer or extracurricular experience)
4. Organizations/Extracurriculars
5. Coursework completed (especially business/major related courses)
6. Bio section (called "My Journey" in Handshake).  This could be similar to your LinkedIn bio or personal brand statement.
7. Minimum of five skills

**Remember, if you want employers to actively recruit you via Handshake, you must make your profile public

Students who wish to complete the QUIC process must complete a series of 6 online modules through Carmen, Ohio State's course management system.

On CARMEN, under “My Courses” Fisher students have access to the "QUIC Modules." If for any reason you don’t see this listed, click the check box next to “Other” on the right side of the screen under “Filter.” There are 5 modules with a knowledge check at the end of each module.  These modules will help you start developing outlines and potential answers to behavioral-based interviewing questions.

Once you pass all five modules and complete the steps in the final QUIC Module, you will gain access to on-campus interviews conducted by employers in the Office of Career Management.  Please allow 24-48 hours for us to update your access in Handshake.

Once you pass your QUIC modules, you will be able to sign up for a QUIC interview in Handshake. There are two levels of a QUIC Interview:

1. QUIC Foundations - 30 minute appointment: This option is for freshman or sophomore students who are new to interviewing and would like a casual 1-on-1 coaching session to practice interviewing.  This is not a mock interview, but it will give you a chance to talk with a Career Coach and work on 2-3 interview questions at your own pace. 
2. QUIC Interview - 60 minute appointment: This option is for more experienced students (sophomores or juniors) who are interested in completed the full behavioral-based mock interview with a Career Coach.  Students will choose a company and job description and will be expected to wear business professional attire for the interview.  In order to achieve the QUIC certification, students must pass this interview with a score of 86/100 or higher.

To sign up for a QUIC interview, log into Handshake. Be sure that your school year (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior) and school/college are filled in on your profile. Click on Career Center, then Appointments, then click on Schedule a New Appointment. Once you select your Category, you will see a list of Appointment Types - click on FCOB: Undergraduate QUIC Interview and follow the instructions from there.

Here is a 2-minute video tutorial on how to schedule your QUIC interview:

When you schedule your QUIC interview you will be asked to select a company and job description. You are expected to:

• Do company research and infuse your knowledge into your interview answers, just like you would in a real interview.
• Arrive (or log in for virtual interviews) 10-15 minutes early for your QUIC interview.
• Bring at least 2 copies of your most updated resume (and make sure your resume is updated on your Handshake profile).
• Wear a suit (business professional attire is required for the QUIC Interview - 60 minute appointment).

QUIC interviews will be 1 hour long, and will be conducted by a staff member of the Career Management team.  To prepare for your QUIC interview, review the QUIC Preparation web page.
