-
- Keep your profile and résumé up to date with accurate work experience and education information.
- Respond to all invitations from companies offering an interview in a timely manner (within 24 hours).
- Be prompt and well prepared for all interviews.
- Use business professional communication in all correspondence.
- Accept offers in good faith. An accepted offer is binding and assumes that you are no longer job searching. Students are expected to withdraw from all applications and are not permitted to interview with additional firms after accepting an employment offer. This is standard professional expectation at all business schools. If you renege on an offer, the Carey Business School reserves the right to take appropriate action.
- Report your employment status, including received and accepted offers, through Carey’s secure outcome survey tool.
“The one-on-one meetings with the career team were most helpful for me, and the topics changed as my needs changed. It started with resume building, and some career soul-searching, evolving into interview practice and negotiations with employers after receiving job offers.”
