Cancellation and Missed Interview Policy

A scheduled interview is a business appointment made between the student and the employer. When conducting a job search it is critical for students to recognize that they are also preparing to become workplace professionals. Thus, it is important to conduct business with potential employers in a professional fashion, including through voicemail messages, phone calls, letters, emails, resumes and interviews. The impression you make will be lasting ones; favorable or unfavorable.

Employers invest substantial time and money in their recruitment efforts and it is a privilege to have them come to campus. When a student misses a scheduled interview, it impacts the employer, other students, and the reputation of the university. Radford University places the highest values on our students and employers, so any negative impact to either causes us great concern.

Interviews:

A scheduled interview is a business appointment made between you and the employer.  Cancellations must be made within 48 hours prior to the interview scheduled date/time.  This is a professional courtesy, offering the recruiter the opportunity to schedule other interested candidates the opportunity to sign up for an interview slot.  Students who cancel less than 48 hours before a scheduled interview or not showing up for the interview itself, will be considered a “No-Show.”  The following action will be taken:

Students will be given a notice they have 5 business days from the date of the missed interview to contact the Events Coordinator to obtain the contact information for the recruiter involved, and send a letter of apology to the recruiter, copying the Coordinator on the email apology.  Students who do not comply will be made inactive in Handshake and unable to search jobs, participate in on campus interviews until their apology is received.
