Advice for Students
My advice is two parts:
- Come visit Career Planning sooner, rather than later. You don't want to wake up your senior year and realize that you did nothing career-related in four years. We are here to help you realize and set your career goals the minute you walk in the door.
- Master the art of networking and informational interviews! There is a hidden job market out there and networking is the key to tapping into it.
