Not only is ghosting an employer or potential employer unprofessional, but it is also unsafe.\u00a0 In fact, if a student does not show up for a shift at their on-campus job and does not tell their boss ahead of time, supervisors are required to report that student as missing to the University. Networking continues to reign as the most powerful job search technique and ghosting burns bridges. Long story short, even declining a job offer should involve open communication, as evidenced by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themuse.com\/advice\/email-template-turn-down-job-offer-instead-of-ghosting\"><strong>this email template<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Questions?<\/h2>\n<p>If you have any questions, please contact us at <a href=\"mailto:careerserv@montclair.edu\">careerserv@montclair.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Connect with Career Services<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Office Contact \u2013 <strong><a href=\"mailto:careerserv@montclair.edu\">careerserv@montclair.edu<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Instagram \u2013 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B3XIW3uJlQZ\/\">msucareerservices<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Facebook \u2013 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RedHawkCareers\">Red Hawk Careers<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Twitter \u2013 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/msucareerserv\">MSUcareerserv<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Soundcloud \u2013 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/wmsc\/sets\/manual-or-automatic-what-gears\">Career Services Podcast<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>YouTube \u2013 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCkdzxpHsYeh_yMl5QRxC1YA\">MSUCareerWorkshops<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>LinkedIn \u2013 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/msucareercenter\">MSU Career Center<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Engage \u2013 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/montclair.campuslabs.com\/engage\/organization\/career-services\">The Center for Career Services<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tips on Finding a Summer Internship You may have heard the saying, \u201cDo what you love and you\u2019ll never work a day in your life.\u201d You may also be asking yourself, \u201cHow do I figure out what I love?\u201d One of the best ways to gain temporary, \u201ctest-it-out\u201d career-related experience is by completing an internship.\u00a0Employers [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":119542,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-98_career-services","category-172_career-services-internship-opportunities"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/career-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/career-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/career-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/career-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/75"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/career-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119541"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/career-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119541\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":119543,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/career-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119541\/revisions\/119543"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/career-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/career-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/career-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/career-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
