Best Practices for Getting Hired

Accept offers in good faith. An accepted offer is binding and assumes that you are no longer job searching. This is a standard professional expectation at all universities. Report your employment status, including received and accepted offers through your .

Demonstrate professionalism in all recruiting activities and relationships.

  • Meet deadlines posted by employers.
  • Arrive on time for all recruiting events.
  • Promptly respond to emails from staff, employers and recruiters.
  • Turn off cell phones and other devices during events and interviews.
  • If you RSVP to a meeting or event, follow through with your commitment.
  • Interviews and information sessions typically require business professional attire unless otherwise noted.
  • Give at least 2 business days鈥 notice before canceling or changing an interview.
  • Academics are a priority. We do not encourage you to miss class to attend company information sessions, or participate in career events. You will need to communicate with your professor(s) if absence(s) are unavoidable.

Detecting Job Scams

The potential to be targeted for a scam exists everywhere. Scams are often designed as an attempt to obtain monetary gain in a fraudulent manner. Students are urged to please be alert to the potential of fraud when approached in person, by telephone, or through other electronic communication.

Businesses and agencies generally will not contact you by telephone or through electronic communication and ask for passwords or other sensitive personal information. Those who do could be looking for ways to steal your identity or to transfer funds from an account. Many scams are initiated with the promise of turning a small amount of money into a larger amount. Sometimes perpetrators will even give individuals a fraudulent check to deposit in advance of any services performed. 

The Warrensburg Police Department and UCM Department of Public Safety urge everyone to be aware of the different types of common scams. The FBI provides good information on its website concerning common fraud schemes. Please see the link provided, . New scams by electronic mail also are posted by the FBI at .

Anyone on campus who believes they may have been the victim of an attempted scam is encouraged to contact the UCM Department of Public Safety at 660-543-4123.
