On-Campus Interview Policy
General Policy:
UW-River Falls Career Services requires attendance for students who sign up for an on-campus interview, so please make every effort to attend your appointment. Cancellations are strongly discouraged, and no-shows are unacceptable. Not only do you inconvenience the employer, but you may also deprive another student of a valuable interview opportunity. Cancellations and no-shows result in suspensions from future interviews and Hire-a-Falcon until the following requirements have been met to rebuild the relationship that may have been severed.
Cancellation and No-Show Definitions and Penalties
Effects of Missing an Interview
- Missed appointments inconvenience employers who have scheduled their time around your interview.
- Missed appointments reflect poorly on other UWRF students, faculty and staff.
- Missed appointments disrupt the working relationship between UWRF Career Services and employers which ultimately affects other students now, and in the future.
Emergencies
We understand emergencies may occur. In the event that you cannot attend your interview, please notify the Career Services office at (715) 425-3572 (leave message if unavailable) as soon as possible. All cancellations must be made by 4:30 pm, two business days prior to the day of the interview. If unable to notify the office prior to your interview, please do so as soon as possible after the scheduled interview time to discuss the circumstances and your future on-campus interview eligibility.
Years taken to build business relationships for the benefit of the UWRF community can be erased with just a few negative experiences. Please observe the highest professional and ethical standards and see yourself as we see you, a professional representative of UW-River Falls.
