Career Services Terms of Use

The terms that follow apply to your search for employment as conducted through Evans School Career Services. By adhering to these terms, you will project a positive image of yourself, your class and the school. Career Services has a positive reputation with employers, and we do not want it tarnished through questionable conduct. By using the EvansJobs website and/or any other of the Evans School’s Career Services, you agree to adhere to these terms as detailed below.


Website

EvansJobs is ONLY for Evans School students and alumni. Students are expressly prohibited from sharing their accounts with anyone. It is the responsibility of students to ensure that their profile information is accurate and up to date. Students are also responsible for keeping the interview appointments they make with employers and following through on commitments. Students who violate the terms of service or otherwise behave, in writing or in person, in a manner that jeopardizes The Evans School's reputation with employers, may lose EvansJobs privileges. The Evans School does not endorse or guarantee any job or internship posted in EvansJobs.


Interviewing

Present your qualifications and interests accurately
Falsifying data, such as GPA, date of graduation, degrees obtained, institutions attended, prior work experience, and/or eligibility to work in the United States is unethical and is ground for immediate dismissal with most employing organizations.

Learn about the employers and their positions
Employers expect their candidates will make an effort to learn about their organizations. Failure to do so indicates a lack of interest and reflects poorly on the candidate and the school.

Interview only when genuinely interested in the advertised position(s)
Do not interview for practice; this will cause the recruiter to feel his/her time is being wasted and takes away valuable time from fellow students who may have a sincere interest in the organization. If you are concerned about your interviewing skills, mock interviews through Career Services are available. When signing up to attend an employer-sponsored event/information session or Career Services event it is expected that you will be on time and remain until the conclusion of the event (if you need to get to class/work please notify Career Services staff before the session).

Participate in the interview
Employers take the interview process seriously and expect students to honor their agreement to arrive on time and participate in the interview. Not showing or canceling late (defined as canceling less than 24 hours before an interview, or 72 hours if the interview is scheduled on a Monday) reflects poorly on the candidate and the Evans School.

Accepting or Rejecting Offers
Notify organizations of your acceptance or rejection of offers as soon as your decision is made and no later than the deadline prescribed by the employer. Candidates should expect offers to be confirmed in writing, and likewise, should notify the company of accepted or rejected offers by telephone first, and follow up with a letter or email. Requests for extensions of decision deadlines should be made as early as possible, not at the last minute.

Honor an accepted offer as a contractual agreement
Upon accepting a position, candidates should withdraw from interviewing and notify Career Services of a decision. Continuing to interview after accepting an offer or reneging on an accepted offer is unethical.EventsIn order to be fully prepared for and knowledgeable of events hosted by Career Services, students must attend all mandatory student meetings (Career Services Orientation for New Students and Welcome Back for Returning Students, both in the beginning of Autumn Quarter) and sign up for events on JILeS by the designated deadline.


Internships

Students accepting internship must complete and submit an online student/agency contract within two weeks of starting the internship. Upon completion of the internship, the student is required to submit an online evaluation form and the supervisor is required to submit an online evaluation of the student intern. Internship forms must be submitted to meet graduation requirements.

By using any of our career services or the EvansJobs website, you agree to have read and understand these terms of use and agree to abide by it for the duration of your stay at the Evans School. Due to the potential harm that the violation of these terms of use could cause to other students and important employer relationships, you understand that violations can result in severe sanctions (e.g., termination of some or all career services, referral to the Director of Career Services or the Assistant Dean's office).
