Throughout the time during which education must take place at a distance, the Bilkent University Career and Alumni Office is continuing to serve students and conduct online career activities.

Virtual face-to-face interviews and resume-checking meetings are being held via Zoom. Students may make an appointment at a convenient date and time by logging in to the Bilkent University Resume Database at https://stars.bilkent.edu.tr/kariyer/. All invitations will be sent to email addresses registered with the database.
