3.  Honor my acceptance of a job or internship offer. Once I accept an offer, I will withdraw from consideration for other opportunities, discontinue my job or internship search, and notify the Career Development Center that my resumes should no longer be referred to employers. I understand that it is unprofessional to accept a job or internship and then renege (turn down the offer). I will advise the Career Development Center director of any extenuating circumstances that may cause me to reevaluate my job/internship acceptance before notifying the employer.

I agree to accept the consequences of losing Career Development Center privileges if I do not comply with these principles of ethical conduct. I understand that some violations could result in a report to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities.

The SIU Carbondale Career Development Center encourages you to notify the director if you perceive any breaches of ethical conduct on the part of employers. We appreciate your joining us in committing to the highest standards of ethical and professional behavior relating to the job or internship search process.
