Interview
Policy for Current Students & Alumni
The success of the on-campus recruiting program depends on everyone
doing their part to confirm that MSU Billings is a source of bright,
enthusiastic, reliable candidates!
Employers expect a full schedule of candidates who
are dressed professionally, are well informed about
the company, and are on time; see "Rights & Responsibilities as a Job Seeker" from NACE.
To
ensure that employers' expectations are met, please
comply with the guidelines below
to make your interview experience an excellent one.
| Registering for the Interview |
| |
Signing up to interview with an employer is
an expressed commitment on your part to participate at the
designated date/time. Be sure to first research the employer,
confirming that you wish to submit your résumé
and conduct the interview.
Interviews are not for "practice." If you would
like a mock interview, visit Career Services on any Walk-In
Wednesday (from 10-noon) and staff will help you
practice your interviewing skills. |
 |
| Canceling an Interview |
| |
If you decide to cancel an interview,
you must give AT LEAST TWO DAYS' NOTICE to allow
Career Services enough time to fill the interview slot you
vacate.
If the employer has already received a copy of your résumé,
you also must contact the company representative to explain
your decision. We will provide the recruiter's name and phone/email. If you do not explain this cancellation to the employer
IN ADVANCE, your absence will be considered a "no-show."
In the event of sudden illness or personal emergency on
the day of the scheduled interview, you must contact
Career Services NO LATER THAN 8:30 A.M. Excuses may
be subject to verification.
Failure to comply with the cancellation policy will result
in the immediate loss of your interview privileges. To regain
those privileges, you must submit a letter of apology to the
recruiter with copies sent to the Dean of the College in which
you are enrolled and to the Career Services office. |

| No-Show Policy |

and to the Career Services office.
