Review the Code of Ethics on student interviewing, site visits and job and internship offers:
You are expected to attend all scheduled campus interviews.
By missing or canceling an interview without sufficient notification, you have wasted a time slot that could have been filled by another student.
You are expected to be on time for a campus interview.
Being late reflects badly on you as a candidate and disrupts the appointment times of other candidates on the schedule.
You are expected to present your qualifications in a truthful manner.
This applies both to information on your resume/cover letter and to your answers in interviews. Information you provide during the interview process can be verified and a false statement could cost you the job (even after the company has agreed to hire you).
You are expected to honor all agreements made with recruiters.
This is especially true of site visits! When you accept a second interview opportunity with a company, you set into motion a whole series of travel arrangements, scheduling, hotel reservations, and a host of other details.
If you subsequently fail to follow through with the site visit without giving the company enough advance notice of your decision, you will cost them a considerable amount of wasted time and money as well as denying another student the opportunity to interview. This could impact the organization's actions regarding future recruiting activities at Carnegie Mellon.
You are expected to honor all agreements made with recruiters.
This is especially true of accepting a job offer! Accepting a job offer is giving your word to that employer. By going back on your word (or reneging), you affect more than yourself. Reneging is highly unethical and risky. First, you will NEVER be able to work for that employer. It makes you look bad and makes Carnegie Mellon look bad. That employer may not want to recruit here in the future. Finally, word may spread among recruiters in your field and could potentially affect your future employment opportunities.
You are expected to cease interviewing upon your acceptance of a job offer.
Continuing to look for employment after accepting an offer Ð either verbally or in writing - is highly unethical and potentially risky for your career. (If you are discovered, word will spread among recruiters in your field and could potentially affect your future employment opportunities.)

CMU Career Center
The CIT Internship Opportunities website contains a database of over 400 engineering internship opportunities. Many of the employers listed do not recruit at Carnegie Mellon.
You will need to sign in using the WebISO Secure Login system.
We do NOT recommend just submitting your resume on-line to these employers and then waiting. You have to follow-up and use additional strategies to have a successful internship search. Visit the Career Center at Carnegie Mellon for more information.
These bulletin boards contain information on jobs, potential employers and upcoming events: cmu.ece.jobs, cmu.ece.jobs.recruiting, and cmu.career-center.announce.
