Use Daily Classifie( expense-paid visits to their prem- ises. Therefore, it is well to plan your personal calendar carefully so time can be found for this necessary feature of your place- ment activity. Since professors take a dim view of heavy cutting of their respective classes, it is of course important to avoid cut- ting any one class repeatedly. Plan visits only to those compan- ies which interest you greatly, and do not yield to the tempta- tion of traveling just for the ride, For those visits you decide to make, here are a few ideas: a.

Watch for interview dates in the Michigan Daily and sign up for an appointment at your placement office-even if you're headed for graduate school or military service. school, as well as that of each candidate, is involved in the placement process, the Placement Office has a few hard and fast rules which must be followed by those using this service: When traveling at company ex- pense, bill the company only for necessary and reasonable ex- penses actually incurred in mak- ing the trip. If more than one company is visited on the same trip, the expenses can usually be pro-rated. If there is any doubt it is best to clear this with the companies in advance. Take as much time as required to decide which job offer to ac- cept. However, once the decision is made, it is final. Reneging on an accepted job offer is consider- ed extremely unethical and will lead to permanent loss of future placement privileges with this school. If, under extreme circum- stances, you feel you cannot live with the job decision you have made, please arrange a personal interview with the Director of Placement to discuss the situa- tion. Once you have made a job de- cision, let that company know promptly so it can plan accord- ingly. Also, promptly inform all other companies who have out- standing job offers to you, be- cause they may be withholding offers from other desirable can- didates until they have heard definitely from you. Under no circumstances are you permitted to continue inter- viewing companies through the Placement Office after you have made your job decision. Now ...
