Missed Interview Policy• To NO-SHOW for an interview is unacceptable. In addition, any student who cancels the day of the interview will be considered a no-show and treated as such.
• No-show students will immediately be removed from the system and cannot continue submitting resumes or signing up for interviews until they send a letter of apology to the employer.
• A copy of this letter must also be submitted to the Recruiting Coordinator in Career Services, who will add the students back into the system.
NOTE: Students are expected at interviews for which they have already signed up!

Interview Day• Dress in interview attire.
• Bring all necessary materials for your interview:- Copy of your resume- Transcripts- Portfolio (if appropriate)
• Arrive at least 10 minutes early. Check to see if your interview has been relocated at the last minute. A sign outside our office will list the companies interviewing and their location (occasionally a company may be in a Campus Center meeting room).
• Collect business cards or contact information for sending a thank you note or e-mail. General contact information may be found on the system, however that may not be the person who interviews you.

Accepting a Job
• Verbally accept the position.
• Accept the position in writing. (See the cover letter section
on our website for a sample.)
