Interview Arrangements/Travel

Have you been selected for an interview at Central Oregon Community College?

Our finalists for professional positions are treated to a full day on campus.  A typical day starts with an orientation by the Director of Human Resources, a formal committee interview, an open-wide campus function to introduce candidates (most candidates are asked to make a presentation on a topic related to their area of expertise), meetings with a Vice President or Instructional Dean, a campus tour, and dinner with several committee members.  

Do you live out of town?

  • Most candidates fly into either the Portland (PDX) or Seattle (SEA) Airport and make connections to Roberts Field in Redmond (RDM), Oregon.  www.flyrdm.com.  Information is available about air carriers, flight schedules, parking, car rental, ground transportation, and terminal services.
  • Or, if you are driving to Bend, MapQuest www.mapquest.com can give you detailed directions and online maps.
  • Or, if you would prefer to take a train, Amtrak provides service to Bend www.amtrak.com.
  • Out of town candidates who are interviewing for a position at COCC often stay at the Phoenix Inn, downtown Bend, www.phoenixinn.com. Click here Bend Hotels for a list of other popular hotel options near downtown.
  • Interview-related expenses are shared by the finalist and COCC. The college will reimburse candidates for one half of their travel/interview related expenses (transportation, lodging, meals) up to $400 maximum.  The successful candidate may receive an additional $400 if one half of the expenses have not been reimbursed by the first $400.  For example:
    • Example 1: $2000 total expenses incurred.  While 1/2 the expenses = $1000, the college will only reimburse $400 as the max for the interview.  The successful candidate would then receive another $400 to reach the $800 maximum while still under 1/2 of the total expenses. 
    • Example 2: $400 total expenses incurred.  Half of the expenses = $200.  The college will reimburse for $200 (1/2 under $400).  The successful candidate would not be eligible for any further reimburse since the college has already met the "1/2 of expenses" obligation.
