Your Rights and Responsibilities as a Job Seeker

 

Seeking employment is a challenging process for a busy student. Career Services supports and enforces the policies listed in "Playing Fair" available on the National Associations of Colleges and Employers website :http://www.jobweb.com/studentarticles.aspx?id=902

Become familiar with these guidelines to meet your own expectations and those of your potential employer.

Policies & Procedures
Career Services at New Mexico State University adheres to the NACE Principles for Professional Conduct for Career Services and Employment Professionals and expects employers to do the same.
These principles are available on the National Association of Colleges and Employers web site.
Any questions or concerns in regard to these policies should be directed to TBD, Director, Career Services at hireNMSU@nmsu.edu or (575) 646-1631.
No Show and Cancellation Procedures
Scheduling a campus interview creates a commitment between the employer and you to honor the time scheduled. A failure to appear for the scheduled interview or a cancellation with less than 24 hours notice jeopardizes the relationship between NMSU, the employer, and you.
Cancellations
You must inform Career Services of a cancellation at least 24 hours in advance of the interview. Late cancellations present a hardship for the employer since your time slot will likely be vacant. A pattern of late cancellations will affect your eligibility, and your interview privileges may be revoked.
No-Show Policy
Failure to attend a scheduled interview is recorded as a No-Show. Failure to follow through on these policy requirements may disqualify you from interview privileges.
No-Show or Late Cancellation Policy Guidelines:
  • Complete the Request of Reinstatement of Interviewing Privileges Form. Describe the circumstances resulting in your late cancellation or no show. Attach any supporting documentation (ie doctor's note, traffic report, or other documentation).
  • Prepare a letter of apology for submission to the employer. Bring the letter as well as a self-addressed stamped envelope to Professional Employment, Room 227, or Cooperative Education & Internship Program, Room 200.
  • Candidates may be required to meet with the Director or another staff member of Career Services. Bring all relevant paperwork to this appointment for review.
