On-Campus Interview Opportunities

Career Services Interviewing Policy:
Choosing an interview time with an employer is your decision. Failing to keep interview appointments deprives other registrants of interviewing opportunities, wastes employer's time, and reflects negatively on you and Fort Hays State University. If you need to cancel an on-campus interview appointment, you must do so by coming into our office or calling us (785-628-4260) by 12:00 p.m. the day before the interview. Failure to do so will result in your on-campus interviewing and referral privileges being suspended until a meeting with the Director has been set up to discuss this matter.
