Students Studying Abroad. Students studying abroad and applying for positions (jobs or internships) posted in Handshake should indicate clearly on their resume and in their cover letter or other application materials that they are studying abroad, noting the semester and the exact dates when they will be off-campus. If the employer is conducting ON-CAMPUS interviews for the position while the student is abroad, it will be at the interviewer’s discretion whether the student is selected and whether an interview will be conducted during the scheduled interview date via Zoom, or other virtual remote means, or if alternative arrangements will be made. If you are invited for an on-campus interview while abroad, it is critical that you contact xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx@xx.xxx as soon as possible for help scheduling your virtual interview. Students are welcome to use the Handshake platform to contact the employer directly via email to inquire about possible interview arrangements while they are abroad. Job Offer Policy When you accept an offer, you are agreeing to work or intern for that specific organization. All previously scheduled interviews must be canceled and you are no longer eligible to continue to apply for other positions. If you receive an offer and are not ready to accept it, we suggest that you speak with a member of the Career Center staff about how to manage your decisions. The Career Center has an Employer Recruiting Policy in effect to which employers must adhere in order to participate in recruiting programs. One section in particular relates to the timeline for job offers. Please reference this document to support your decision-making process once you have been extended an internship or offer of employment. Any candidate who has reneged on an accepted offer obtained through the Career Center may be suspended from all future services provided by the Career Center.
