Question

In Japan, students go job hunting while they are still in universities. If a company likes to hire a student, it gives the student a 'promise' or 'offer' that  it's going to hire her/him after graduation.
What would you call that 'promise' or 'offer' in English?
And if the company changes its mind and no longer wants to hire the student, do you say "The company cancel the promise /offer or something ?"  Or "break" or "withdraw " or some other verb would you use instead of cancel ?

That's a job offer and if they change their mind then they withdrew the offer.

University and college students in the US also go job hunting during their junior and senior years. Often the companies come to career fairs on campus and accept resumes. They then will come back later and conduct interviews with students they're interested in. Many students also do internships with companies during the summer, which sometimes turn into job offers once the interning students graduate.
