Career Services wishes you the best as you participate in the Recruiting
Program. We encourage you to bring questions, concerns, or suggestions to us at
any time throughout the recruiting process. We can provide advice on how to
answer interview questions; how to respond to pressure from peers, an employer,
or family member; testing procedures and protocols; what questions to ask when
considering an offer, and many other topics. In order to maximize opportunities
for Dartmouth students and preserve the integrity of this program, we have
developed the set of policies below and ask for your cooperation. Failure to
comply may result in the loss of recruiting privileges.
Students who participate in any application process supported by Career
Services (employment or graduate school) must accurately represent their
academic and personal history on any documentation submitted as part of their
application. Any student who knowingly misrepresents information will not only
lose the support of Career Services in all future application processes but may
be referred to the undergraduate Judicial Affairs Office for further
disciplinary action.
**IMPORTANT** Students must be living in
Hanover for the term when applying for on-campus interviews. Applying for an
on-campus interview during a term in which you will be off-campus is considered
misrepresentation.
Students are expected to put academics first. Interviews
should be scheduled around academic commitments. Students should sign up for
interviews based on a sincere interest in each opportunity. In addition,
students are expected to negotiate second-round and subsequent interview
dates/times so that there is no conflict with academics and previously
scheduled first-round interviews. If you feel that an employer is pressuring
you to take a second round interview at a specific date/time that causes you
difficulty, please contact us immediately, so that we can help.
You may change or cancel your interview time slot up until 2:59 am
TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR to your interview (e.g. 2:59 am Wednesday for
a Friday interview). Unfortunately, neither changes nor cancellations are
accepted after that point, as final schedules have been confirmed with
employers. To change or cancel an interview, follow the procedure that will be
posted on the "Career Services" and the "Career Services - Entry-Level Jobs"
bulletins titled "How to Change or Cancel an Interview." Do not
contact employers directly to change or cancel on-campus
interviews.
Not showing up for an interview will seriously jeopardize further
participation in the recruiting program. Students are expected to call Career
Services in case of emergency. Unless you have cancelled your interview by
2:59 am TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR, you will be considered a "no
show" and will not be permitted to continue interviews without clearance from
Career Services.

decision on an offer, we encourage you to discuss your situation with us.
Any student who withdraws an acceptance (i.e. reneges on an offer), after
initially accepting an employment offer obtained through the recruiting
program, will immediately lose all recruiting privileges.
