Reneging On Job/Internship Offers 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. If you are uncertain as to whether you should accept an offer, please consult with a member of the
Career Services staff. 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 block you from participating in any
additional on-campus interviews.

just that, a start.
