On the Campus Recruiting registration form, you indicated that if you "fail to appear for a scheduled interview or cancel an interview with less that 24 hours notice, Campus Recruiting privileges may be terminated."
Employers make large financial investments in their campus recruiting efforts, and their expectations for these visits are high. An entire year's hiring plan may hinge on the success or failure of these campus visits. Additionally, keep in mind that when you are selected for an interview, another student is denied the opportunity to interview. Cancelling an interview is not a small thing.
The Campus Recruiting staff is dedicated to its mission of administering a process that fully supports your job search in a comfortable, professional environment. In return, we expect that you will show your respect for this effort by accepting responsibility for the commitments that you make as part of the Campus Recruiting program.
Unwarranted or repeated cancellations will result in loss of Campus Recruiting privileges.
"But I'm sick!" Call the Campus Recruiting Office when you are too ill to make it to an interview. Allow the staff as much time as possible to call an alternate or adjust the schedule.
"But I have a second interview!" Though an encouraging sign, a second interview is no guarantee of employment. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't sacrifice a campus interview to do a second interview off campus.
When an employer calls and wants you to schedule a second interview at a time that conflicts with a campus interview, you only need to state that you need to interview at a different time or on a different date because of a previous commitment. If no other time is acceptable to the employer (and this will be extremely rare) and you really want that second interview, call or come to the Campus Recruiting office immediately. Try to reschedule the conflicting campus interview, cancelling only as a last resort.
"But I decided I don't want to interview with them!" "But I'm too busy!" "But I scheduled too many interviews this week!"
Look at it this way: Even if you change your mind about wanting to interview with an employer, use that interview as an opportunity to develop your interview skills or learn more about the job market - it can't hurt you, and you'll probably learn something!
