Senior Recruiting Program Contract and Release Form

Bridgewater State University-Career Services Office

I, ________________________, fully understand the responsibilities and expectations associated with participating in the Senior Recruiting Program as detailed in my Senior Recruiting Program Orientation appointment and Informational Packet and agree to adhere to the following guidelines:

1. I understand that by submitting materials such as my resume through the CareerLink system and Senior Recruiting Program that I authorize Career Services to release my resume and supporting materials to organizations for consideration of employment.
    
2. I confirm that all information that I provide through resumes, letters, transcripts and in interviews is totally factual and truthful.  Misinformation is considered unethical behavior and is cause for revocation of recruiting privileges.
    
3. I will provide Career Services with my primary email address via CareerLink and understand that this is the primary means of communication for Senior Recruiting.
    
4. I will have my resume critiqued by Career Services and will upload it to activate my CareerLink account for participation in Senior Recruiting programs.
    
5. I understand that it is my responsibility to keep an updated resume on my CareerLink account to be a part of the Resume Referral Program. 
    
6. I am aware that resume submission deadlines for the On-Campus Interviewing Program are advertised on the CareerLink site and that resumes are due by 11:59 p.m. on the advertised deadline dates.
    
7. I understand the importance of being prepared, on time and properly attired for all interviews.
    
8. I understand and appreciate the time of an employer who recruits with BSU.   I will read job descriptions thoroughly and research potential employers.  I will only submit resumes to companies I am truly interested in and if selected for an interview, will sign-up for and attend it.
    
9. If I accept an interview with an organization and sign-up for an interview time, I am required to take the interview.  Failure to cancel a scheduled interview at least one business day in advance will be viewed as a "no-show" and my access to OCI and Senior Recruiting Programs will be suspended.  Reinstatement of access will be at the discretion of the Director of Career Services and written apology to the recruiter is required and a copy submitted to Career Services.
    
10. If I must cancel an interview due to an illness or emergency situation, I will contact Career Services at 508-531-1328 at least 24 hours before my interview or as soon as possible (NO EMAILS for Cancellations!).  A note of apology must be sent to the recruiter and a copy submitted to the Career Services Office.
     
11. If the university is closed for any reason, On-Campus Interviews or Career Fairs will be rescheduled or canceled at the organization's discretion.
     
12. I understand that Career Services has the right to remove poor quality resumes and letters before sending to an organization without notifying me ahead of time. It is my responsibility to have my resume and cover letter critiqued by a Career Services counselor prior to uploading it into CareerLink.
     
13. I will only accept a job offer if I am absolutely positive that I plan to work for that company/organization.  If I have questions regarding a job offer or salary, I will make an appointment with the Career Services Office. 
     
14. Once I accept a position, I will end my job search and inform all other parties with whom I have interviews, as well as Career Services, of my decision.
     
15. I will conduct myself in a manner that will reflect well not only on myself, but Bridgewater State University as well. 
     
16. I understand that the Career Services Office provides me with services and opportunities to help me find employment; they are not a placement service.  The Career Services Office also makes no promises or guarantees that participation in these programs or services will guarantee employment. 
     
17. I understand that if I have any questions or concerns in regards to any of the mentioned Senior Recruiting programs, that it is my responsibility to contact the Career Services Office and consult with a counselor.
