Reneging is going back on your word, your promise. It is accepting a job offer and then, later, backing out to take a different job. Such behavior is unethical and embarrassing to the Institute. So what's the big deal? Employers expend a great deal of time and money recruiting students to fill jobs. Any student who backs out of a commitment to accept a job has wasted that employer's time and money. Perhaps even more importantly, by backing out of the commitment, a classmate may have been prevented from getting a job they desired. It may even prevent future Tech students from gaining employment with an employer who decides, based on the poor decision making of one Tech student, to no longer recruit at Georgia Tech at all. It happens.
Here's the rule. Once you accept an offer (full time, part time or internship) through our recruiting program or in your independent job search, you are expected to withdraw completely from the job/internship search process. In other words, stop looking for a job! If you are uncertain as to whether you should accept an offer, please consult with a member of the Career Services staff. Often we can help with strategies for negotiating extra time to make a decision and other offer details. Reneging is unprofessional and jeopardizes Georgia Tech's reputation in the employment community as well as your own.
Should you renege on an offer, Career Services reserves the right to permanently block you from participating in any additional on-campus interviews.
