In preparation for interviews with prospective employers, candidates
should analyze and consider their interests, abilities, and career objectives; seek information about
their field of interest through published materials and counseling; and
organize their thoughts so that they can ask and answer relevant questions. Both written and oral material presented by the candidate
should be an honest statement of relevant data.
Before an interview, candidates should read the employer's
materials and fill out required forms. The candidate
should observe recommended procedures as to interviews. Interview
appointments should be arranged as early as possible and in
accordance with Career Development Center procedures.
An invitation to visit an employer's premises should be
acknowledged promptly and should be accepted only when there is a
sincere interest in a position with that employer. Arrangements
should be made sufficiently in advance to permit mutual confirmation
of dates. Reimbursements for visits at an employer's expense should
be only for those expenditures pertinent to the trip. If other
employers are visited on the same trip, the cost should be prorated.
The employer's deadline for acceptance of offers of employment
should be met unless an extension has been obtained from the
employer. If candidates have legitimate reasons for the extended
consideration of more than one offer, they should not only notify
employers whose offers they are refusing, but also communicate with
employers under consideration to attempt to establish mutually
satisfactory decision dates. They should make their final choice at
the earliest date possible. Acceptance of an employment offer should
be made in good faith and with sincere intention to honor the
commitment.
