Job Offer Policies
Students need sufficient time to make informed decisions when comparing and responding to job offers. The following recruiting job offer policies have been created for both full-time and summer internship offers to create overall fairness to all participating parties. These time frames should assist employers in planning their recruitment strategy and allow both employers and students the opportunity to participate fully during the recruiting season.
Exploding offers, those made with undue pressure and insufficient time to respond, are strictly prohibited.
Employers extending full-time job offers at the completion of the student’s Spring or Summer internship, are asked to give the student until November 1 to respond to that offer. Bonuses and other incentives associated with the offer should not expire before this date.
Any student who has interned with an employer and is made another internship offer for the following year, should be given until November 1 to respond to the offer.
Employers conducting interviews during the Fall semester are asked to give students until December 1, or a minimum of three weeks from the date of the offer, to respond to that offer without pressure on an earlier date.
Employers conducting interviews during the Spring semester for full-time positions and summer internships should give students a minimum of three weeks to make their final decision.
Students do not have to wait until the policy deadline to accept an offer but should be sensitive to employer needs and accept offers in a reasonable time.
Renege Policy
Reneges are never permitted or condoned by the Career Center. Reneging on an offer is a serious violation of The Career Center’s policy, and will result in immediate suspension of all recruiting privileges and the student’s GoNOVA Jobs account is de-activated. Violators will be required to meet with a representative from the Career Center, their Academic Chairperson and/or Dean. Future recruiting privileges will be determined after this meeting.
