FAQs
Does Olympus recruit or interview on campus?
Olympus occasionally recruits through various on-campus and off-campus activities at some of our university partners. Please check with your school career services team for information on campus-specific events.
I found a position that I’m interested in posted on my school’s Career Services website. Can I apply through my school instead of your website?
No. If you apply only through your school, we will not receive your application. You MUST apply through Olympus’ website, careers.olympusamerica.com
Should I include a cover letter/transcript/writing sample/references/other when I send in my resume?
Just a cover letter! We encourage you to use your cover letter to provide us with insight into your interest in and qualifications for the position to which you are applying. Beyond that, you should not submit any other supporting documents. Depending on a candidate's qualifications, additional documents such as a writing sample and transcript may be requested of those applicants who advance further in the interview process.
What is the application deadline?
Applications are reviewed as they are received. We recommend current students looking for positions after graduation should start applying to jobs when you are in your final semester. Unless otherwise noted, positions posted are immediate openings, and hiring managers will be looking to start their new employee within a few months of posting.
I see a position labeled “Evergreen Requisition.” What does that mean?
An Evergreen Requisition is an advertisement for positions that Olympus hires for throughout the year. It is a way for Olympus to build a database of qualified, interested individuals for a particular job function so that when there is a need to fill that type of role, the hiring process will be faster. By applying to an Evergreen Requisition, you are expressing your interest for a particular job function within the Olympus family of companies. In addition to submitting your resume to an Evergreen Requisition, we encourage you to create a job search agent to be alerted when positions in your areas of interest become available.
