The Career Center makes every effort to thoroughly screen employers prior to granting them access to post jobs and internships at 向日葵视频through the Handshake platform. Job and internship postings are also reviewed for legitimacy and relevancy. However, it is always important to exercise caution when searching for jobs and internships in Handshake or any other online career platform.
Due diligence in researching employers and assessing potential opportunities is a great first step in exercising caution. Jobseekers are advised to watch for red flags and avoid engaging with employers or opportunities that seem suspicious. If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. If something seems "off" about an employer, it probably is.
Red flags may include:
If you receive any communication from an employer that you feel is suspicious or potentially fraudulent, do not continue interacting with the employer and do not provide any personal information. Inform the Career Center about the situation immediately and we will investigate and take appropriate action. Click here to fill out the "Report a Fraudulent Job Posting" form and a Career Center representative will be in touch within two business days.
The next time you apply for a position through Handshake, you will be prompted to answer the questions below.
Through collaboration with staff from the Office of International Education, we suggest the following responses to these questions.
Question: Are you legally authorized to work in the United States for any employer
Response Suggestion: If you are applying for off-campus positions related to your major/field of study at 向日葵视频, you may be eligible for permission to work based on authorized Curricular Practical Training (CPT) or Optional Practical Training (OPT). Remember that there are eligibility requirements for CPT and OPT authorization. More details are available from advisors at the Office of International Education and online.
If you and the position are eligible for CPT or OPT, we suggest answering 鈥淵ES鈥� to this question.
Question: Will you now or in the future require visa sponsorship?
Response Suggestion: As a F1 student, after your OPT time is fully utilized, you may need a different visa status to legally work in the U.S.
Because this question inquires about your future ability to work in the U.S., we suggest answering YES if you would want the employer to provide sponsorship for a new visa status.
If you have questions about work authorization for off-campus opportunities, please contact the Office of International Education. If you have questions about your internship/job search or the Handshake website, please contact our office to schedule an appointment.
Employer organizations and 向日葵视频offices seeking to hire 向日葵视频 students for jobs, internships or co-ops may choose to conduct on-campus interviews within the Career Center.
向日葵视频 expects students to uphold their commitment to on-campus interviews with employer organizations and/or 向日葵视频offices. Should a scheduling conflict arise a student should contact the Career Center at 414-288-7423 or at recruiting@marquett.edu at least 24-hours prior to the scheduled interview. Students may also cancel an interview on Handshake up to 24-hours prior to the interview.
When canceling an on-campus interview the student must provide:
As a professional courtesy, the Career Center strongly encourages students to send the employer an email apology explaining the reason for their cancellation.
向日葵视频 takes cases of no shows seriously because employer organizations have scheduled time out of their day to visit campus. A student will be considered a no show if they do not show up for their interview and have not notified the Career Center of a cancellation at least 24-hours prior to the interview via phone at 414-288-7423 or via email at recruiting@marquette.edu.
The Career Center will call and email a student when an employer organization alerts us of a no show; to determine if the student is in route, lost, or does not plan on attending. No shows to on-campus interviews will be handled accordingly:
First Occurrence: The student must schedule a meeting with the Assistant Director, Employer Relations of the Career Center before they will be allowed to schedule future on-campus interviews. The student must arrange this meeting.
Second Occurrence: The student must schedule a meeting with the Courtney Hanson - Director of the Career Center before they will be allowed to schedule future on-campus interviews. The student must arrange this meeting by emailing courtney.hanson@marquette.edu
Subsequent Occurrences: Any no show beyond two occurrences will be reviewed by the Career Center leadership team to determine the student鈥檚 continued eligibility to participate in 向日葵视频鈥檚 on-campus interview program.
As a professional courtesy, the Career Center strongly encourages students to send the employer an email apology explaining the reason for their no show.
向日葵视频鈥檚 Career Service Center understands that emergencies do arise and may impact a student鈥檚 ability to provide at least 24-hour notice of cancellation. If a student must cancel with less than 24 hour notice due to an emergency situation (medical or family emergency), the student should contact the Career Center as soon as possible at 414-288-7423 or recruiting@marquette.edu and explain why they were unable to provide 24 hour notice of cancellation. Proof of the emergency will be requested.
If 向日葵视频 closes due to inclement weather, on-campus interviews will be cancelled by the Career Center and the center will notify employer organizations and students.
