Your Rights and Responsibilities as a Job Seeker

Davidson College's Office of Career Services would like students using the services of the office to understand and adhere to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) position on your Rights and Responsibilities as a Job Seeker.

The Office of Career Services adheres to the ethical standards of the Principles for Professional Practice which was established by NACE. The office holds its staff as well as employers and third-party recruiting organizations recruiting Davidson students and alumni accountable to these principles to ensure that:
• Students and alumni can openly, freely, and objectively select employment opportunities, making these choices based on their assessment of the best use of their abilities, their personal goals, and all other pertinent facts;
• The recruitment process is fair and equitable to students and employers alike; and
• Support is available for informed and responsible decision making by students and alumni

Non-Discrimination Policy

It is Davidson College's policy to admit qualified students and administer all educational, athletic, financial, and employment activities without discrimination based on race, color, gender, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, disability, or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law unless allowed by law and deemed necessary to the administration of the college's educational programs or operations. This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment as well as all academic, athletic, and other educational admissions, enrollment, participation, and programming. Davidson College expects that any employer or third-party organization representing an employer that posts a position through the Office of Career Services or uses the College's facilities for the purpose of recruiting for full-time, part-time, temporary or intern positions adheres to this policy and complies with federal and state equal employment opportunity laws in its recruiting and hiring.

Student Recruiting Policy

Interview No Show Policy
The no show policy applies when a student does not appear for a scheduled interview and/or when a student cancels an interview after the interview schedule freezes at 12:00am two business days before the employer's interviews begin.

First Offense

The student will:
- Lose full access to the Davidson WildcatLink system until he/she attends a meeting with Brenda Harvey, Recruiting Coordinator.
- Bring a letter of apology addressed to the interviewer to be reviewed and approved by Brenda Harvey, Recruiting Coordinator, and sent via email to the interviewer.

Second Offense

The student will be banned from all On-Campus Interviewing activities.

Misrepresentation
Falsifying data such as your GPA, dates of graduation, major/minor, work experience, eligibility to work in the United States or other information is unethical. If you falsify documents or misrepresent yourself to any employer, whether via our recruiting program or in your independent job search, Career Services has the right to rescind your privileges to use our services. Employers have the right to withdraw an offer or terminate your employment for misrepresentation.

Reneging on Job or Internship Offers
Once you accept a job offer, whether via our recruiting program or in your independent job search, you are expected to withdraw completely from the job search process. If you are uncertain as to whether you should accept an offer, please consult with a Career Services staff member. Reneging is unprofessional and jeopardizes Davidson's reputation in the employment community as well as your own. Should you renege on an offer, Career Services may block you from participating in any additional on-campus interviews.

Campus Recruiting Offer Policy

The intention of the campus recruiting offer policy at Davidson College is to allow students ample time to carefully consider all of their employment options and to make informed decisions about their employment after Davidson. We educate students on evaluating and negotiating job offers and discourage them from hasty decisions that may lead to reneging, which we strongly discourage. In order to better meet student and employer needs, we have created the following campus recruiter offer policy:

Exploding Offers
Employers may not offer incentives or exert undue pressure to students to accept/decline an offer before the deadlines stated below. An offer may not expire before the stated deadlines.

Fall Semester
- Full-time offers from Summer Internships (Conversions)
- Employers extending full-time offers to previous summer interns must allow students until November 15 to accept or decline OR a minimum of four weeks after the date of the written offer, whichever is later


- Full-time offers from Fall recruiting
- Employers must give until November 15 for students to accept or decline offers OR four weeks after the date of the written offer, whichever is later

Spring Semester
- Internship offers from Spring recruiting
- Students should be given 4 weeks minimum from the date of the verbal offer to accept/decline offers. For interviews after March 1, students should be given a minimum of 2 weeks from the date of the verbal offer to accept/decline.

Unpaid Internships Offered by "For-Profit" Private Sector Employers

This fact sheet produced by the United States Department of Labor provides general information to help determine whether you must be paid the minimum wage and overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act for the services that you provide as an intern to "for-profit" private sector employers.

The Office of Career Services adheres to the aforementioned policies and guidelines to ensure the quality of our services and reserves the right to modify these terms and conditions at any time.
