Internship and Job Search Ethical Standards Guidelines



These guidelines conform to accepted standards of conduct for job/internship search candidates. The University of Michigan School of Information prides itself on a positive reputation among its employers, and we take pride in our students presenting themselves in a professional manner. If you plan to work with SI Career Services staff/resources and participate in the Practical Engagement Program, we expect students to follow these guidelines.

In an effort to create trusting, positive, lasting partnerships with employers, SI Career Services & PEP asks that all SI students are aware of and abide by standard internship and job search ethical practices:

  • 1) Students should not renege on your commitment or acceptance of an internship or job. If you are participating in a PEP internship and you find yourself in a position where you MUST leave your internship, you should contact the PEP office for a consultation first. If is it decided that it is in your best interest to leave your internship, you should always provide the standard 2 week notice to your employer.


  • 2) Honor an accepted job/internship offer as a contractual agreement. Upon accepting a position, students should cancel any previously arranged interviews with other employers, and withdraw all outstanding applications from consideration.
Continuing to interview after accepting an offer or staying active in the selection process, or reneging on an accepted offer, is unethical.
