POLICIES AND GUIDELINES

APPOINTMENT POLICY

Career Advisors in the Career and Professional Development Center meet with all students and alumni of Seton Hill University.  Appointments should be made with the Career Advisor for their current major or the major they had at graduation.  Career and Professional Development Center Career Advisors are not permitted to meet with employees of Seton Hill University or members of the community.

RESUME REVIEW POLICY

Students may only submit one resume for review per week and may not submit a new resume for review until they have received and incorporated the feedback on their last submitted resume. Please email Word documents only (not PDFs or links to Google docs) and allow up to one week for your review to be completed by your Career Advisor.  You will receive an email when it is ready for you. 

HANDSHAKE POLICY

When searching for job and internship opportunities, please keep in mind that employers are able to enter their own jobs into our system. You should use your own judgment when applying for opportunities found in Handshake. Please DO NOT give an employer your Social Security, bank account or credit card numbers, or any other confidential information. A genuine employer should not request that information in the initial application. For example, from time-to-time imposters have represented themselves as being from a legitimate company, while in reality phishing for your personal information.  No legitimate company would ask for your confidential information or would require you to handle a cash transaction prior to employment.

If you think a job posting seems suspicious, please bring it to our attention immediately by emailing gcarter@setonhill.edu.

The Seton Hill University Career and Professional Development Center tries to offer you a full range of actual job and internship opportunities, but we are not responsible for the legitimacy of the jobs posted or the employers using our system.

RECRUITING GUIDELINES

The Seton Hill University Career and Professional Development Center 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 website.
