Extend An Offer

Job offers for both full-time and internship positions should be made through an offer letter sent directly to the student. (Please include an approximate start date.) We also ask that you notify the Fowler Career Center when you extend an offer. This will help our staff ensure that students are adhering to the below policies.

FULL-TIME OFFER POLICY
We request that employers inform students of their status within two weeks of each interview. The Fowler Career Center requires that full-time offers extended after a summer internship remain open through the end of our On Campus Recruiting period which is the end of November. Full-time offers extended to second-year students during the fall recruiting process must remain open for four weeks from the students’ receipt of a written offer to enable them to fully consider the opportunity. For full-time offers extended during the spring, we require a decision period of at least 10 business days from the students’ receipt of a written offer to enable them to fully consider the opportunity.

SUMMER INTERNSHIP OFFER POLICY
We request that companies inform students of their status within one week of each interview. The Fowler Career Center requires that companies extending summer internship offers allow a decision period of at least 15 business days from the students’ receipt of a written offer or until the middle of February, whichever comes later, to enable them to fully consider the offer.

We have found that the best intern recruiting experience for both employers and students happens in the second half of the year. Therefore, the Fowler Career Center recommends that internship interviewing begin after the middle of January.

REFERRALS/RECOMMENDATIONS
We will work with you to help identify a pool of candidates who most closely match your job criteria. However, employment law and our strong sense of ethics preclude any arbitrary recommendation of one student over another.

CHANGES TO OFFER
The George Washington School of Business expects all employers to honor their job offers. In the event that an offer must be withdrawn or changed, the Executive Director of the F. David Fowler Career Center must be contacted immediately. Students are also responsible for honoring the commitments they have made, whether verbally or in writing. If we learn they have not, their access to the Career Center resources and opportunities will be affected.

NON-DISCRIMINATION
The George Washington University does not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, national or ethnic origin, marital status, veteran status, or disability in admission to, access to, treatment in, or employment in its programs and activities. Accordingly, the school makes its facilities available to recruiting organizations whose practices are consistent with this policy.
