Job and internship posting terms and conditions

The Career Development Center does not publish 100% commission-based jobs and internships, nor does the Center permit job or internship postings with base salaries that are drawn from future commissions. All job postings must meet or exceed the North Carolina minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.
Advanced leads or monetary start-up costs
Employers or internship hosts requiring a monetary start-up fee or contact information on potential leads will not be permitted. No training or application fees may be required of the applicants.

Postings for network marketing organizations or organizations with a multi-level relation (pyramid) structure will not be made.

The Career Development Center does not post positions in which the job or internship description is not clearly defined or is subject to suspicion.
Organizational structure
Job and internship postings must be associated with a clearly-defined business or organization. All organizations must have a website with a matching email address domain for its contact person. The Career Development Center does not service private individuals.
Third party recruiters (employment or staffing agencies, search firms)
