NMS Interview User Guide For Applicants

Access

After you log into the NMS Match System, select the option for Interviews from the menu to access your interviews with programs that use NMS Interview.

Your Interviews

• Set Your Time Zone

  By default, the NMS Match System assigns you a time zone of Central Time as most applicants attend CRIP. If you will be attending interviews in a different timezone, you can access the Account page in the NMS Match System to update you time zone.

  If your time zone differs from the time zone of a track where you are interviewing, the system will show the event time in both your time zone and the track's time zone. This ensures accurate scheduling and avoids any confusion regarding event timings.

• Interview Invitations

  When programs invite you to an interview, you will be sent an interview notification by email. You may receive invitations from multiple programs, and each program may invite you to one or more than one type of interview.

  The notification email includes a unique link to schedule your interview with that program.

  Alternatively, you can log into the NMS Match System to manage all of your interviews. The NMS Match System has two views to manage your Interviews:

  Calendar View

  • Interviews are organized and displayed by date.
  • You can change the date range to day, week or month.
  • Use the left and right arrow buttons at the top of the calendar to move between dates.
  • Each program that has sent you an invitation will be shown in a different color. Scheduled interviews are shown in green.
    
    
  • Use the Filter button at the top of the calendar to select which program's events are displayed and whether you want to see all events, available events, or only scheduled events.
    
    
    

  List View

  • Interviews are organized by program and interview type within program.
  • Click on the View button to see available and scheduled interview times for that program and interview type.
    
    
  • Scheduled Interviews are displayed in green.
    

• Schedule an Interview

  You can only book one event for each type of interview to which you have been invited by a program. The system will not let you book two interviews at the same time, nor interviews that are within 15 minutes of another interview you have booked. You cannot make a new interview booking after after the Lockout Date.

  The system will default your timezone for viewing interview events to Central Time as most programs interview at CRIP and the CRIP event will be held in the Central timezone. You can update the timezone for viewing interview events from Account page in the NMS Match System.

  From the Interview Notification Email

  • Click on the Select Date and Time button in the email (or use the scheduling link url) to reach the scheduling page. The Scheduling Page shows the available events for each interview type to which you have been invited by the program.
    
    
  • Select the timeslot you want to book.
    
    

  You will be shown a confirmation page, and will be sent a confirmation email with a calendar invite for the interview. If you have been invited to more than one type of interview at a program, you can return to the Scheduling Page and book a time for a different type of interview. If you have booked your interview and want to change your selection, you must log into the NMS Match System and Reschedule Your Interview.
