The Career Development Center (CDC) seeks to provide Rensselaer students and alumni with the resources necessary to implement a successful employment search. In exchange for access to JobLink, the CDC’s site for on-campus recruiting, and full-time, co-op and summer employment job listings, and candidate resume referrals, students and alumni agree to abide by the following:

• I will present my abilities, qualifications, interests, and resume credentials honestly and accurately.
• I will provide accurate information about my academic work and records, including courses taken, grades, positions held, and duties performed.
• I will keep all interview appointments. If I need to cancel, I will cancel at least 48 business hours in advance of the interview. In an emergency situation, I will notify The Career Development Center as soon as possible and know that my situation will be reviewed and documentation will be requested. I also understand that missing a scheduled interview,or failing to cancel an interview within 48 business hours, will cause my access to RedHawk JobLink to be suspended until a formal apology to the employer is written, approved, and sent.
• I will notify employers of my acceptance or rejection of offers (co-op and full-time) by the time mutually agreed upon by both parties.
• I will honor an accepted offer and discontinue interviewing upon providing verbal or written acceptance. I understand that reneging is unprofessional and may be cause for suspension of access to the JobLink system and Co-op Program, if applicable.
• I will report all Co-op employment acceptances to the Co-op Office in the Career Development Center within 7 days of acceptance, regardless of the source of position, and will discontinue active use of JobLink for employment purposes.
• I (graduating students only) will report my future plans as soon as they become final (accepting employment, attending graduate school or entering military service), by completing the CDC’s online First Destination Survey and will discontinue active use of JobLink for employment purposes.
• I will interview only with employers for whom I am interested in working and whose eligibility requirements I meet.

Consequences for non-compliance can include having your JobLink privileges suspended or revoked.
