CAREER SERVICES MISSION & POLICIES 

Our vision is to be best in class among business school career services centers and make career services a competitive advantage for the Olin brand.

Our Mission
  • Equip a diverse body of students with skills, knowledge and resources that inspire confidence to achieve their career goals.
  • Build long-term partnerships with employers to connect them with the talent that best meets their hiring needs.
  • Deliver superior customer service and execute leading edge solutions to achieve organizational excellence.

Employment Offers and Acceptance Guidelines
An employment offer represents a very important decision, both for the employer and for the potential employee. We suggest the following student-decision deadlines to allow the student to participate in on-campus recruiting and to make an informed decision that is in the best interest of both the student and the employer.  

  • Full-Time or Internship Offers: It is common for students to receive a full-time offer at the end of the internship or in early September. For all full-time or internship offers made in the fall, we suggest giving the student until December 1 or a minimum of 3-4 weeks after the offer is made to make their decision to accept or decline so they may participate in fall recruiting. For companies interviewing in the spring semester, we recommend giving the student until March 1 or a minimum of 3-4 weeks after the offer is made. 
  • Internships: Employers are encouraged to communicate decisions to candidates within a reasonable period of time and recommend giving the student until March 1 or a minimum of three weeks after the offer is made during the spring term.
  • Exploding Offers are strongly discouraged (e.g. any offer that does not afford a candidate the appropriate time to either accept or decline and/or has special incentives attached for the purposes of inducing early acceptances). Such offers put enormous pressure on our students to make a decision before they have completed the interviewing process.
  • Students are urged to immediately release offers they do not plan to accept. Reneging on offers is considered a serious breach of both our recruiting policies and the honor code, and such action receives immediate attention.
  • Salary data is collected and reported in aggregate format. Your cooperation is appreciated in keeping us informed of your employment decisions.
  • NACE Guidelines: We ask that employers abide by the Principles for Employment Professionals of the National Association of College and Employers (NACE).
