To assure you are meeting the expectations for yourself and your potential employer it is important to become familiar with these guidelines.

Policies & Procedures

Career Services at New Mexico State University adheres to the NACE Principles for Professional Conduct for Career Services and Employment Professionals and expects employers to do the same. These principles are available on the National Association of Colleges and Employers web site Any questions or concerns in regard to these policies should contact Mr. Steven S. Salway, Director, Career Services at ssalway@nmsu.edu or (575) 646-1631.

No Show and Cancellation Procedures

Scheduling a campus interview creates a commitment between the employer and you to honor the time scheduled. A failure to appear for the scheduled interview or a cancellation with less than 24 hours notice jeopardizes the relationship between NMSU,the employer,and you.

Cancellations

You must inform Career Services of a cancellation at least 24 hours in advance of the interview. While we appreciate being informed of a late cancellation ,they present a hardship for the employer since your time slot will likely be vacant. A pattern of late cancellations will affect your eligibility and your interview privileges may be revoked.

No-Show Policy

Failure to attend a scheduled interview is recorded as a No-Show.Failure to follow through on these policy requirements may qualify you from interview privileges.

No-Show or Late Cancellation Policy Guidelines:

Complete the Request of Reinstatement of Interviewing Privileges Form. Describe the circumstances resulting in your late cancellation or no show.Attach any supporting documentation(ie doctor's note,traffic report,or other documentation).
