Recruiting

Who is eligible?

Undergraduate and graduate students graduating during the 2011-2012 academic year. To be eligible to participate in recruiting the student must register with Career Services via CSO/Career Services Online.

What is Resume Referral?

Employers unable to interview on campus due to staffing or schedule constraints may request that Career Services refer resumes of interested candidates for full-time professional positions. These opportunities will be publicized through CSO/Career Services Online. Employers will contact the student directly and schedule an interview off campus.

What is On Campus Recruiting?

Companies with December 2011 or spring 2012 openings (full-time professional salaried positions) are invited to schedule interview dates to meet with Salem State students.

How does it work?

• Register with Career Services through CSO/Career Services Online (complete student profile and upload resume)
• A Career Services staff member will review your profile/resume and will approve you for CSO
• Regularly check CSO to view updated listing of companies scheduled to interview on campus.
• Submit resume via CSO by designated due date
• Online Orientation Podcast (enhanced) for graduating students (access to iTunes or Quicktime required)

Then What?

Career Services will forward resumes via email to the employer. The employer will select candidates to be interviewed online. Check CSO to see if you have been selected, if yes, schedule an interview time slot.

Rules: ILLNESS or EMERGENCY POLICY

Canceling an interview is frowned upon, however, you may cancel an interview 24 hours before the interviewer is scheduled to come on campus. Canceling on the day of the interview may only be done in the case of illness or other serious personal circumstances. If you do cancel you must send a note of apology to the interviewer and submit a copy to our office.

NO SHOW POLICY

If you do not show for a scheduled interview you automatically lose your right to participate in our recruiting program and you must send a note of apology to the recruiter and submit a copy to our office. Failure to do so will result in loss of Career Services privileges.

RENEGGING ON AN OFFER

Do not accept an offer until you are absolutely positive that you plan to work for the company/organization. It is always ok to ask the employer for time to consider the offer.
