On-Campus Recruiting Policies and Procedures
1. ALL STUDENTS must register with the Office of Career Services in order to submit resumés and sign up for on-campus interviews. Seniors must attend a registration meeting to gain access to ECHO. Underclass- men may register in Reynolda Hall, Room 8. All students studying abroad and accounting students away from campus for their internships will be given “browse only” access, because they are unable to participate in on-campus interviewing.
2. On-campus recruitment occurs in the fall from mid-September to November 30 and for the spring from late January to April 30. December graduates are encouraged to interview heavily in the fall.
3. It is the student’s responsibility to:
(a) Upload his/her application materials (resumé, cover letter, etc.) into ECHO, then submit them to each job posting he/she is interested in. All this must be done by the deadline listed in ECHO. No resumés will be accepted after the deadline.
(b) Check his/her pending applications folder in ECHO daily for interview acceptances. Interview sign-ups are on a first-come, first-served availability.
(c) Use ECHO to remain up-to-date on employers interviewing on campus.
(d) Read the Career Services bulletin boards and email messages to obtain information on workshops, deadlines, and programs.
(e) Bring copies of his/her resumé and transcript to all on-campus interviews.
(f) Prepare for on-campus interviews by participating in interview workshops and mock interviews AND by conducting company research.
(g) Show up for scheduled on-campus interviews!
(h) Inform the Office of Career Services on acceptance of a position. If a registrant continues to interview after accepting a job offer, his/her name will be removed from all other on-campus interview schedules, and he/she will not be permitted to interview through the on-campus process.
4. Inclement Weather: If classes are canceled by the University, interviews for the day may also be canceled. When bad weather has occurred or is expected, students are encouraged to check their email for a Career Services bulletin or call the Office of Career Services (758-5902 or 758-5246) for a status report.
5. Computing Rights & Responsibilities: This policy applies to all computer and computer communication facilities owned, leased, operated, or contracted by the University. The University’s computing resources are for instructional and research use by students, faculty, and staff of Wake Forest University(full statement can be found in the Undergraduate Bulletin). Therefore, Wake Forest students are the authorized users and may not provide their ECHO username and password to other students or people outside the University.
6. Honor System: Wake Forest University upholds the ideals of honor and integrity. Each student is pledged to be trustworthy in all matters. Therefore, any student misrepresentation made to prospective employers or Career Services staff is subject to the Wake Forest judicial process.
Cancellation/No Show Policy: If a student must miss an interview for any reason, a 24-hour notice must be given to the Recruiting Coordinator (758-5246). If cancellation occurs less than 24-hours in advance, a letter of apology must be written by the student to the company and a copy must be given to the Office of Career Services Recruiting Coordinator. If a student fails to provide a copy of the apology letter, he/she may be prohibited from interviewing through the on-campus program and his/her ECHO account will be frozen. Excessive cancellations/no shows (two or more) will be grounds for suspension of interviewing privileges, pending consultation with the Director of Career Services.
