My daughter is a senior graduating next May. There is no formal on-campus recruitment process for companies in her industry but a couple who seem to hire a good number of grads from her college have already visited, done second interviews via Skype and even made invitations for site visits. One of her good friends did a site visit last week, was offered a job on Friday and was told to respond by next Tuesday. He accepted the job although he's not had a chance to apply to the companies he "really wanted."
Is this a common practice? Seems to me it's disservice to the student (who possibly forgoes other opportunities) and the employer (who's locked in someone who may ultimately not be a good fit).
How should a student respond to these early offers? My daughter does a site visit next week with a company that is on her B-list and I'd hate to see her accept it five months before graduation.
Funny, but this is the last problem I ever thought I'd have!
