Policies and Guidelines for On-Campus and Off-Campus Recruiting

Students who secure interviews on-campus or off-campus for employment are participating in Occidental College's recruitment activities and are, therefore, expected to ascribe to the Career Development Center's policies and procedures delineated below. The Career Development Center expects Occidental candidates to honor these policies and procedures, adequately prepare for the interviewing process and accurately present their qualifications and interests to prospective employers.  
By reading the policies and guidelines, candidates are agreeing to the terms of this document.

Policies and Guidelines for On-Campus and Off-Campus Recruiting

•      Candidates should sign up for interviews only when seriously considering the position for which the organization is interviewing and should notify the career development center 48 hours in advance if they must cancel an interview appointment and the employer if they must cancel a plant/office trip.

•      Candidates are expected to arrive 10 minutes prior to their scheduled interview time in professional attire and carrying a clean copy of his/her resume printed on quality letterhead.

•      Candidates are responsible for notifying organizations of their acceptance or rejection of offers by the earliest possible time and no later than the time mutually agreed upon.

•      Reimbursements for visits at an organization’s expense should be only for those reasonable expenditures pertinent to the trip. If other organizations are visited on the same trip, the candidate should inform the organizations and prorate the costs.

•      An accepted offer is a contractual agreement that is expected to be honored. After accepting an offer, candidates should withdraw from the interviewing process and notify the career development center and other organizations with offers pending.  

•      Not showing for a scheduled interview is unacceptable behavior except in the case of an emergency. Any candidate who has signed up for an interview with a recruiter but is a "no show" without prior notice, will be required to write a letter of apology to the recruiter, and give a copy to the Career Development Center.  The "no show" student will not be allowed to sign-up for another interview until a copy of the letter is on file in the Career Development Center.
