Employment Offer Guidelines
The staff of the Hegi Family Career Development Center concurs with the judgment of the Principles for Professional Conduct Committee of the National Association of Colleges and Employers that "the best employment decisions are those made with the greatest amount of information". Further, "students given sufficient amount of time to gather thorough information related to all available job opportunities are more likely to make good long-term employment decisions and less likely to renege on job acceptance." The staff of the Career Center also acknowledges the desirability by employers for having definite timeframes for the acceptance and rejection of offers by students.
Therefore, to provide students with sufficient time to make a considered employment decision and to allow employers the flexibility needed to compete for talent, HFCD Center recommends that employment offers extended to students for full-time employment should remain open for a minimum period of two weeks.
