Business Career Services "No Show Policy"

A scheduled interview is a professional commitment. If you, as a student, do not show up for a prearranged interview or do not give us at least 2 working day's notice of your intention not to take an interview, we consider this a "no-show". After the first missed interview or mock interview, interviewing privileges will be suspended until you bring a letter of apology with a stamped, addressed envelope to Business Career Services in 1320 Gerdin Business Building for mailing or email an apology letter directly to the employer with a copy to buscs@iastate.edu. At that point  access to ISU CMS will be reactivated. Should you miss another interview, your use of ISU CMS will be deactivated until you make an appointment to speak with Kathy Wieland, Director.
 

Class Attendance Policy

It is the policy of Business Career Services that classes and academic success come first in the lives of students. When scheduling interviews with companies, please make every attempt to schedule at times that do not conflict with classes. Companies are generally flexible about interview scheduling.

Policy on Accepting Job Offers and Continuing to Job Search

It is advised that it is in poor professional form to continue to job search after one has accepted a job offer. Employers take a harsh view of a student who accepts a position and later declines. This action has a technical term called "reneging".  Acceptance of a job offer constitutes ceasing all job searching activities including further interviewing, resume submission, etc. If, as a student, you are not prepared to work for the company that makes you a job offer, respectfully decline the offer in a timely manner and continue your job search. Business Career Services is happy to advise students as it relates to issues of job search, negotiation and the like.

Policy on Posting Positions

In accordance with the National Association of Colleges and Employers Guide to Ethical and Legal Standards in Student Hiring, Business Career Services is committed to maintaining a recruiting process that is fair and equitable to students and employing organizations.  To that end, all employers wishing to identify College of Business students utilizing Business Career Services must post positions within Iowa State University Career Management Services (ISU CMS). This practice ensures compliance with NACE guidelines as well as federal law. Business Career Services and its personnel will not engage in any practice that operates outside of this policy.
