No Show Policy for Appointments

In order to provide the best service possible, Career Services has a "NO SHOW" policy for appointments with professional staff. Individuals that fail to show for a scheduled appointment with a staff member (the same staff or different staff) on two separate occasions will be prevented from scheduling appointments with staff in the future. Individuals in this situation will need to use our office drop-in hours (available at scheduled times throughout the academic year) in order to meet with staff members and have questions answered. A staff member will inform you of this policy after the first no show occurrence. After the second no show occurrence, you will receive written notification of our policy and it will be enforced. Any questions or concerns about this policy should be directed to Linda Peacock-Landrum, Director of Career Services, (920) 465-2163, peacockl@uwgb.edu.

On-Campus Recruitment and Resume Referral Policies

Career Services at the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay adheres to the Principles for Professional Practice as outlined by NACE, the National Association of Colleges and Employers. By submitting a profile in PRO or by submitting a resume to an employer for an on-campus interview schedule, you agree to abide by these policies:

  1. Students and alumni registering with Phoenix Recruitment On-line (PRO) via the Web assume total responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in their record and on their resume. Career Services staff reserves the right to not forward a resume to an organization if information within the demographic/registration section of the student PRO record contradicts or is in conflict with the required qualifications of the position.
  2. Resumes that are forwarded to organizations for on-campus recruitment and resume referrals are recorded electronically. An individual may check the status of which organizations received a resume at any time by phone or in person. Individuals are not automatically notified of this action.
  3. Demographic information (i.e. sex, age, ethnic background, physical disability, etc.) requested in PRO is not forwarded to an employer. This information is only used for statistical purposes internally in Career Services.
  4. The campus ID number is a required submission of the PRO system. PRO uses it as a way to generate a unique record for an individual. This number is used only internally and is never shared with an employer.
  5. Career Services will release contact information over the phone to employers if they are unable to contact an individual with the information listed on the resume that was received. This applies to e-mail information as well.
  6. Candidates must meet qualifications as stated by the employer to be eligible for an on-campus interview or for a resume to be forwarded through a resume referral.
  7. Candidates are advised to not abuse the on-campus recruitment or the resume referral program. Examples of abuse would include failure to show for an on-campus interview, failure to provide 24 hours advance notice when canceling an interview with Career Services and failure to show professional courtesy to an employer by not responding to phone or written correspondence. Abuse will be addressed by Career Services staff and privileges to participate in the recruitment programs may be revoked.
  8. If Career Services is notified by an employer of unethical or inappropriate behavior of a candidate during an interview, Career Services staff reserves the right to address the issue with the student or alumnus. If the behavior is severe, the student may be referred to the campus judicial process. Interview and referral privileges will be removed.
  9. Any candidate not meeting the qualifications for an on-campus interview may request to have the name of the contact person for that organization and can personally forward a letter to the contact person in order to request directly for consideration and a personal interview. (Ex: A student is not accepted for a pre-select interview schedule.)
  10. The University does not accept responsibility for the actions of any on-campus or off-campus employers during interviews. Students and alumni are encouraged to bring to the attention of Career Services staff any unethical, unprofessional or inappropriate behavior of an interviewer or host organization. The situation will be explored and the issue addressed with the organization in question.
  11. Students and alumni must be currently registered with Career Services and any appropriate fees paid in order to participate in on-campus recruitment.
  12. The office staff will critique a resume when it is uploaded to PRO for the first time only. It is the individual's responsibility to make appropriate changes or to have future editions of the resume critiqued by Career Services staff.
  13. It is an individual's responsibility to inform Career Services if she/he is not interested in having her/his resume referred to employers or if he/she has become employed. When notification is received, the individual's resume is marked inactive or "employed" therefore preventing the individual's resume from being forwarded to organizations for consideration for employment or on-campus interviews. If repeated employers note incorrect address information, or that a person is employed, then the student/alumnus will be marked as blocked and the resume will not be forwarded in the future.
  14. Interview schedules are open or pre-select. For all open interview schedules, resumes will be forwarded to the organization to review. The organization MAY choose to contact a selected group of students; however, any student meeting the qualifications may sign-up for the interview any time prior to the campus interview visit. Once the schedule(s) are filled, students will be put on a waiting list and contacted by Career Services staff if a time slot becomes available. Resumes of students on the waiting list will be given to the representative for review at the end of the interview day.
  15. An individual interested in interviewing with organizations that have chosen a pre-select interview schedule may indicate their interest in a position by forwarding a copy of their resume in PRO for the appropriate organization. Once an organization has made an interview decision of a candidate, all candidates for that schedule will be notified by e-mail of the employer's decision.

Any questions about these policies should be directed to Linda Peacock-Landrum, Director of Career Services, peacockl@uwgb.edu or (920) 465-2163.
