No show policy

A student is assigned No Show status for either of these reasons:

• Cancels a scheduled interview less than two working days prior to the interview date. (Two working days’ notice allows ECS to provide an interview opportunity for another student, inform the employer in advance, and produce an up-to-date packet for the interviewer’s campus visit.)
• Does not attend a scheduled interview.

First no show

Ineligible to schedule additional on-campus interviews until apology letter is submitted. NOTE: any previously scheduled interview appointments should be kept or canceled appropriately.

To remove the hold from your account, write a letter of apology to the recruiter (ECS will send you the recruiter's name and address via e-mail).

• Bring the letter and a stamped envelope, addressed to the recruiter, to ECS for review; we will mail it for you.
  OR
  E-mail your letter to the recruiter and cc ecs@osu.edu (graduating seniors/graduate students) or ecip@osu.edu (co-ops and interns). Submit the letter to ECS within one week of the missed interview.
• Send the letter as soon as possible—at least within one week of the missed interview.
• Allow at least two working days for the hold to be removed from your account.

Second no show

Ineligible to schedule additional on-campus interviews for the remainder of the quarter. NOTE: any previously scheduled interview appointments should be kept or canceled appropriately.

To remove the hold from your account, write a letter of apology to the recruiter (ECS will send you the recruiter's name and address via e-mail).

• Bring the letter and a stamped envelope, addressed to the recruiter, to ECS for review; we will mail it for you.
  OR
  E-mail your letter to the recruiter and cc ecs@osu.edu (graduating seniors/graduate students) or ecip@osu.edu (co-ops and interns). Submit the letter to ECS within one week of the missed interview.
  
• Send the letter as soon as possible—at least within one week of the missed interview.
• Allow at least two working days, after the end of the quarter, for the hold to be removed from your account.

Third no show

Ineligible to schedule on-campus interviews for one calendar year. NOTE: any previously scheduled interview appointments should be kept or canceled appropriately.

Why does ECS have this policy?

Although the vast majority of late cancellations are due to unanticipated events (illness/emergency), the consequences are the same whether there is a legitimate excuse or not:

• Lost opportunities for other students.
• Loss of potential hires for employers.
• Wasted time for employers who travel and take time away from work to interview on campus.
• Potential long-term damage, such as OSU being removed from an employer’s targeted campus list.

If a late cancellation is unavoidable, call ECS (614/292-6651) as soon as possible. Send your apology letter within 48 hours, mention the reason, and request a telephone interview. A sincere expression of regret and interest in the company might convince the employer to give you a second chance!
